(pre '91) Todd Rundgren --- definitely a soundtrack/learning tool for my
teenage years
A bit closer to this list---Doug Powell.
Like Todd, he didn't always hit the mark. However, the times he did hit it
are stuck in my head forever.

sooooo... on the other hand, who do you think is among the best and
brightest lyricists?
Surely Andy Partridge is right up there (if you can excuse Melt the Guns
lol).... his wit and wisdom are best on display on almost any album from
Drums and Wires forward....

This one gets my vote for most hopelessly inane lyric:
If we explode the atom bomb,
Would they say that we were dumb?

even rhyme.
