Favorite Rock Lyricists of All Time?

Best answer goes to the answer that is most well-explained.

Mine are:

Bob Dylan's lyrics are powerful and can range from protests to vague stories. He's just a fun guy to listen to, especially combining those lyrics with a folk-rock sort of genre. Dylan can open people's minds to new ideas and concepts with his lyrics.

John Lennon recorded all his thoughts and feelings about the world down on paper, especially during his solo career. Songs like "Imagine" or "Ballad of John and Yoko" or "Give Peace a Chance" really expressed his life and thoughts.

Pete Townshend was a basic lyricist, but he was the mastermind behind the first rock opera. With simple lyrics that flowed together to form a story, along with great music, the rock opera definitely was a success.

Roger Waters's lyrics really make me think. For me, they're hard to understand, but I like it that way. I want to be challenged by unknown concepts. Waters's lyrics are perfect for this.

Wow! You seem to know a lot about music.

To me there is no easy answer to this question. Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Pete Townsend, and Roger Waters are all amazing lyricists. It depends greatly on what is best to you; a very relative question.
