My favorite would have to be Pink Floyd (during the Roger Waters Era) and Roger Waters. I think that the lyrics written by Waters can convey a sense of how I am feeling, and with my background in social services, how I could relate to my youthful clients. I can find phrases and words in the lyrics that you would never think would be in a song (i.e. creeping malaise, myriad, etc). Waters method of listing (Brain Damage and Every Strangers Eyes, for example) tend to give a reference point to a lot of emotions.
