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.

Right, but Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, The Flaming Lips, The Church, Aztec Camera all write great lyrics. They span from all decades and their music is great, in my opinion. But some indie outfit comes out with a groove (I am sucker for indie rock too much) but has either encryptc lyrics or cheesy or cliche lyrics. What a shame. But I know what you mean, sometimes it's hard to find. You have to assume not to find it. But I still have hope for it.
