John Darnielle
Tom Waits
Bill Callahan
Nick Cave
John Lennon
Don McLean
Amanda Palmer (I know, I know - but this is totally subjective, and I can name over a dozen songs of hers which have given me fucking chills.
Trey Anastasio (When he's not being goofy / most of Phish's lyrics weren't written by him so don't judge me.)
Thom Yorke
Jenny Lewis (Hers are almost the easiest to relate to for me)
