I think a good lyricist is someone that can draw a person into the song they are singing, and involving them on a personal level...what ever that may be...and responses will vary depending on what the listener is looking for.
Personally, i have to say for me, it's Scott Stapp and Steve Azar...they write from the heart and have the ability to really communicate a song...and yep, CS...James Taylor was great...others are Springsteen, Melencamp, James Hetfield, Maynard Keenan and Bono...just to name a few...
thing is a lot of musicians have others write for them...so you have to know who writes their own stuff and who doesn't.

That voice which calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again, for now I find
The phantom of the opera is there...inside my mind
Christine/ Phantom Of The Opera
Abondon thought and let the dream decend....
Point of No Return/Phantom Of The Opera
You will forever remain the music
And I…the song you sing
