Jon Anderson, Roger Waters, and Peter Sinfield are my favorites. If I had to pick one I would say Peter Sinfield. ------------- We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart Its astart What we need is awareness we cant get careless Mental self defensive fitness Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be |

Robert wyatt has great prog lyrics Peter gabriel - Lamb lies down on broadway lyrics are incredible. Peter hammill Ian Anderson METAL Quarthon from bathory, and Exoudus Bonded by blood, great thrash lyrics I dont feel Dani Filth is good at lyrics, or for music at all for that matter |

Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Peter Hammill, Dave Cousins (from the Strawbs) and Peter Gabriel write very good lyrics. Non-prog: Bob Dylan is quite good |

What is with Peter's? Peter Hammill Peter Gabriel Pete Sinfield Peter Green (I always like a lot of his lyrics) Ian Anderson Roger Wootton (Comus) Bob Dylan Donovan Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule, Allman Bros.) Miller Anderson (Keef Hartley Band) Can't think of anyone else... Oh, Arjen Anthony Lucassen - clumsy at times, but is still good at what he does. -------------

-Ian Anderson's lyrics on Thick as a Brick............... Perfection. -Roger Waters: Like him or not, the man's a genius. A master rymer and expressionist. -Peter Gabriel. He not only knows how to whrite lyrics, he knows how to deliver them with feeling. -------------

Peter Gabriel is my favorite lyricist followed by Peter Hamill and Ian
Anderson. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |
