Shock lyrics, satanic themes, and toilet humor have no impact on the quality of a song. Neither does political relevance or sentimentality. Lyrics don't matter at all. They're not even the frosting on the cake, just the sprinkles.

I look at the instrumental aspect of a song first, and then the lyrics later on (if it even has lyrics)... but I wouldn't say that they're irrelevant. After all, lyrics help add a layer of meaning to most songs...

Lyrics penned by bands such as Sortsind are anything but extreme 'cheese'.

I find it depends on the genre. For most metal, I don't even pay attention to what's being said. But for Folk? Definitely.

Good point. When I was thinking of the importance of lyrics in music, the first musician who came to mind was actually Leonard Cohen, a Canadian folk artist and writer.

i only really pay attention to Dylan's words

of course, in comedy music, you have to listen attentively to the lyrics to get the joke
