I’d say Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is up there with some of the best rock lyrics. I love Zeppelin and Stairway (as much as it’s overplayed) has some great lyrics. What Is and What Should Never Be is also a personal favorite for lyrics.

For something a bit different, check out the album Desire by Bob Dylan. Some of the best storytelling around.

American Pie is a song that really moved me when I first heard it.

But I don’t really know what kind of lyrics you are looking for. Many rock songs are obtuse or minimalist in their lyrics, leaving open various interpretations.
