Definitely. Five years ago, Odyssey Number Five by Powderfinger was one of my favourite rock albums, just because I really liked the lyrics. After I started playing bass and guitar, it was still one of my favourites, because I began to really appreciate the instrumental work. And now that I've written a few things of my own, it's higher still on the favourites list because I appreciate what goes into writing a good song, and I can really appreciate the songwriting on the album.

All this may sound hard to believe about a Powderfinger album :D, but if you've never checked it out, I suggest you give it a try. It isn't super-sophisticated or technical, but it's got some depth to it and it's really well written - the first four chords are what made me want to play electric guitar.
