The Who had a wonderful song and wrote songs like, "Love Reign Over Me." It's sometimes hard to find good music and lyrics. The music is great but the lyrics are cheesy. Or the music is average but the lyrics are above-average,

Well, as a counterexample of my own case, I know almost to a certainty that my brain can ignore lyrics as easily as a rat can humans when munching on their vegetables. This is partly due to some early prejudice of my own making which felt that musicians often don't know what they're talking about. Of course, there are others - Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs, when stripped of their instrumentation, somehow stand on their own very well. I guess in the end, it's a product of discriminating too often.
