Im not a massive Smiths fan but I do think Morrissey's lyrics are very original and clever
Steely Dan's lyrics are funny and abstract, and memorable

worst...any Brian Johnson era AC/DC. just embarrassing teenage innuendo.

yet I would choose to listen to AC/DC over the Smiths any day, so Im not sure how that works

Big fan of Chris Butler, Morrissey, Bob Dylan.

As for worst, anything written for mainstream pop artists.

Klaus Meine and Herman Rarebell from The Scorpions are the greatest in my opinion, as for the worst lyrics: Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy

Lots of mentions of Morrissey but Moz ripped off the independent cool, music, haircut and lyrics of Orange Juice so I'm going to have to mention Edwyn Collins if only to reference the source.

'The Campaign For Real Rock' is such a great lyric.

Don't try so hard to be different
the cracks are beginning to show
you drift like a cloud
through the festival crowd
in a frock-coat from Saville Row....

He's also provided my personal motto.

It's a funny thing
I'm wondering what tomorrow might bring
If it's more of the same
I've only got myself to blame
That's the funny thing

The worst among bands that I listen to has to be the guy from Iron Chic. Just awful.

Best: Blake Schwarzenbach, John K. Samson, Michael Stipe, Craig Finn, Josh Ritter, Stephan Jenkins, Elvis Costello, Travis Morrison.

Oh, how could I forget? Davey von Bohlen has to be mentioned among the worst...he occasionally stumbles onto a decent line, but overall he is absolutely terrible.

Best: Dylan, Morrissey, Roger Waters

Worst: Whoever writes for Ke$ha.
