Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play, even though some people considered them quite obscure (specially A Passion Play), they contain quite a lot of great poetry that blends well with the music, and is subject to your own interpretation.

Yep. Freewill is classic. XTC, Freak Kitchen, The Police/Sting, Steely Dan, Todd, and Big Big Train have great lyrics.

Almost every Roger Waters-led Pink Floyd song... Certainly all of Meddle, Dark Side, WYWH, Animals, The Wall

..I've long considered Hotel California to be a really great rock song. And I also consider it to have some of the best lyrics ever written. First because the lyrics inspire you to create your own mental images, of what's happening throughout the song. But also because the lyrics are wide open for personal interpretation.

..I could also say this about Stairway To Heaven. I've always thought of it as a great rock song. But I also think that it has great lyrics, that are also open to personal interpretation.

..I'm mentioning these two songs because they're widely known. And I would like to hear from anyone about any personal stories about these two songs. About any personal interpretations of any of the lyrics. And also tell me about any prog songs, that you think have a similar quality of composition and lyrical content.
