Peter Gabriel, the guy is so versatile that can tell a story in a few verses and make sense, he can write lyrics about almost everything.

Agree 100%

Sorry, did not vote, as I wanted to vote for Neil Peart of Rush, and did not think that voting "other" was fair justification. I think he should warrant a place of his own.

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.

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 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!
