I like that song, Wish you Were Here. Now I'm in doubt as to whether that is Pink Floyd or The Doors.
Guess that shows how much I care about either.

Now I'm just gonna sound unreasonable grumpy, but here goes:

I honestly think that most bands and solo artists ever have bad to mediocre lyrics. Even the good bands and solo artists. Notable exceptions would be Suzanne Vega and Kate Bush. Probably others too, but it seems to me most bands just throw some words in there cuz u gotta sing something, I guess?

I don't give a **** about the doors either. And the cure.

I find it hard to even judge most lyrics. I tend to not pay much attention to them, I just want them to sound nice for the vocal melodies. I do hate the average love and sex song lyrics so much it annoys me to extreme extends.
I'm too retarded to understand most lyrics so I just go by what sounds nice. However there's some straight to the point, easy to understand lyrics with occasional witty lines I like, such as Pat the Bunny's.

I'd agree that most lyrics probably suck and are just there so the vocal melody sounds better. Their job is to sound passable enough for the song, not great, it seems.

Like you, I don't really mind lyrics being less than stellar as long as they sound good while being sung. But when I try and understand the people that insist that lyrics are the most important thing about music, I wonder what's so great about lyrics anyway? Foreign languages are just as good as english in that sense. Probably not missing much if I can't understand the words
