Gabriel's lyrics on the Lamb are simply staggering, especially when you do a bit of research to discover all the literary tricks and allusions, wordplay, references etc. Check out this site for starters:

No contest. Peter Gabriel is a modern Shakespeare.

I think Gabriel's can be a bit random and lose the atmasphere that the brilliant music creates, the other way around with Jon Anderson's are the best thing in Yes- mean nothing but work really well!

Peter Hammill!! But why are we missing Peter Sinfield - he created the whole idiom of progressive lyrics with Fripp and Emerson!! Hats off before Gabriel, Waters, Andersons and Fish nevertheless!!
yet you still have time!

I'm very surprised he wasn't included in this poll to start with.

Waters is possibly my favourite, alongside Gabriel, Peart and Ian Anderson. However, I'd also like to mention Kate Bush: her lyrics suit her music and her voice perfectly, and they are deeply heartfelt and poetic.

I gave the the nod to Mr. Waters.  With albums like "Animals" to his credit, how couldn't I?

like others more, but the intelligence in Gabriel's lyrics is incredible.
