Lyrically, I think the Tragically Hip are the best. I don't know who writes their lyrics, I assume it's Gord Downie. Whoever it is, they write songs like I wish I could. I also like Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain. Time by Pink Floyd is one of my favourite songs lyrically because it sounds like something I would try to say in a song, so I guess whoever wrote that (Roger Waters?) is up there too. I'm gonna stick with the Hip though.
