This. So much.

Not paying attention might be a reason for bias, although I partly developed this attitude because subpar lyrics are annoying and I'm more interested in the music anyway.
There's also the thing that most music I like is instrumental or has some vocals, but no real lyrics to speak of.
And of course it has to be considered that it's a little harder for me to understand English lyrics than for all of you. Although I can't remember any good German lyrics either. Russian music has some amazing lyrics, but this is probably due to historical reasons.
