Ok, there's been a lot of threads on favourite guitarists, too many to count, in fact, but no one has yet asked us all about the other creative side of the band - the lyrics. So here i am... Who are your favourite lyricists (lyric writers)? Mine are: -

Ozzy - For both Sabbath and his solo stuff, a very good viewpoint on life.

Geezer Butler - i think it was him anyway. The bassist from Sabbath who wrote the lyrics with Ozzy. correct me if im wrong...

Fish/Steve Hogarth - the singers (past and present respectively) from Marillion, an amazingly underrated band.

Roger Waters - Pink Floyd(obvious really)

Neil Peart - The drummer from Rush
