Aaron Stainthorpe, esp. on "Turn Loose the Swans". I don't really like the music on that album, but the lyrics are to die for...

Also whoever wrote/translated the lyrics to Amorphis' albums (from Kalevala).

That's for metal, of course. Now, everybody forgot Nick Cave...

Duvall, Tom Waits is the man!

You are all forgetting Roger Waters!!! The Wall is a lyrical masterpiece, Waters is the best.

YES, YES, Nick Cave is the man and for their style Acid Bath has some of the greatest lyrics ever written.

I like Hansi Kürsch from Blind Guardian.

Mostly, I like how his lyrics tell stories and how his voice creates lots of different "characters" in the lyrics. I think it's just cool.
