Lyrics are about as important as much - a good song needs both to be good

I pay attention to lyrics, but they neither make nor break a song

Not applicable (I don't listen to music or listen only to instrumental music)

All songs should be sung in vulgar Latin (aka the Jaron option)

Between 1 and 2, voted 2 for the poll's sake. This is something that really varies from one music culture to another. For instance, Italian music has, on average, way more elaborate lyrics than most English language music, save for a few genres.

And :bleeding: @ Ska-P. I always get in trouble with my Italian friends whenever I diss them, because they're huge there.

 Lyrics matter enormously to me. Al Stewart and Randy Newman are among my favourite singer/songwriters, and what their songs are about are better than their sound.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

You're better off that way.
