Neil Peart, because he's the voice against a howling mob.

Uh, I thought you were talking about the Who, rather than whose lyrics.... Wink

Anyway, of the choices, Peter Gabriel.

[Annoying]It should be "whose"; "who's" is the contraction for "who is."[/Annoying]
 
Of those, Ian Anderson. I hope no-one votes for Jon; he writes a bunch of nonsense. :-(

Peter Gabriel. Although he didnt write all the lyrics for early Genesis, the bands lyrics covered a wide range of topics in a very inventive manner.

My favourite lyricist is Waters, but since he's not in the poll I voted for Gabriel with Peart close second.

Fish, Peter Hammill, Daniel Gildenlöw, Buddy Lackey all quite inspiring to me and missing from the list.
From the list I would pick Peter Gabriel, very versatile and always quality lyrics.

'Twas a tough call between Peter Gabriel and Ian Anderson, but as Genesis was the first real prog band I heard, I have stronger sentimental ties to Gabes lyrics - so the vote goes for him.Tho I think sometimes Ians lyrics make more "sense".
Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

Jon Anderson. His lyrics don't have an immediately obvious meaning but they are so poetic and work so well with the songs. 
Another emotional suicide, overdosed on sentiment and pride
