If we're going just with lyrics I think Slim Shady LP and Marshall Mathers LP are two of the most creative albums ever. It's all downhill from there though.

Steve Perry is still alive, how much of his work he actually wrote is questionable though. Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish is pretty damn good, even if he doesn't sing any of the songs he writes.
