Cocteau Twins are a good example for me. 90% of the time i have no idea if they are even singing in English, but it's still beautiful.
Liz was found of creating her own languages. Although I have assessed she sings about the Applebees restaurant in "Pandora."
First and foremost comes the music to me, which includes the vocal inflections. How words are sung and how they fit in a poetic scheme are more important for me than the actual lyrics. Oddly enough, when I write songs, I put about 80% of my effort on the lyrics and end up mumbling like a 1983 Michael Stipe.
Late 80's/early 90's hip-hop is different however. I'm all about the battle rap lyricists.
