Lyrical Quality
Statik:
Aesop Rock
I concur with DynamiteKid on Nick Cave
Mikael Åkerfeldt
Tomas Haake
Aesop Rock writes amazing stuff, some of it, at least to me, seems nonsensical, but then he writes a song like Holy Smokes.
Nick Cave, for all the aforementioned reasons, I couldnt have said it better than they did.
Åkerfeldt for being Åkerfeldt and doing what he does.
Haake... well, besides being an amazing drummer, he writes good, interesting, weird, stuff.

Off the top of my head, Agalloch and Savatage. The way Agalloch reads reminds me of Yeats, which is a good thing, and there is something about the lyrics in songs from Savatage that just sounds right, not sure how to describe it other than that.
I think Iron Maiden also has some good lyrics, though part of that indubitably is Bruce Dickinson's singing.
dalconnsuch:
when it comes ot lyrical quality theres no one on my opinion better than that of bob dylan, close behind him is the magical works of woodie guthrie, chad vangaalen (do'nt be hatin'), leonard cohen, robert plant, john lennon, (sorry beatles fans, no paul mcartney the love song addict) robert johnson, beard guy from iron and wine, lou reed, david bowie, and christina vangar

No, you've got it right. John Lennon is a far better writer than Paul McCartney. I never had as much love for Paul as everyone else seems to.
Patrick:
McCartney? The motherfucker wrote "Band on the Run" with Wings. That alone should be a bright red indicator that he was never the creative force behind the Lennon/McCartney songwriting team. The guy just played bass and piano really well and had a pretty voice.
