Like Brother 52 and What Colour Is God?

Nothing like hearing Fish rap.

Your comment also got me thinking about lyrics that are not that good. This may start a firestorm, but I find Spock's Beard lyrics (up to Snow) very run of the mill. I love the music, but the words are very ABC-like.

I like the early SB -- I'm especially fond of June for some reason whether it be the words or the music or the feeling it generates. The Doorway is another fav tune but now that I listen to its lyrics, I can hear Neal's early proselytizing.

If you want great lyrics in your prog, there's nothing like Keith Reid's lyrics in any Procol Harum song.
