While its definitely music first if the lyrics are stupid it will turn me off. City and Colour sounds fantastic but his lyrics do absolutely nothing for me, which i feel is important when you write the kind of introspective music that he does. Bruce Cockburn may be a master of guitar but his lyrics really hold him back in my opinion.
