Unbreakable tie between Pete Townshend and Roger Waters. Both are brilliant composers, too, but their liner notes read like poetry even without the music playing.

Reply to What's the most subtle literary allusion you've found in a book? by tillerman35

In Stephen King's "The Langoliers", Albert imagines the voice of his father saying: "That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!", which is a verbatim line from Jim Steinman's "Love and Death and an American Guitar". I don't know whether that was intentional or coincidental, but I like to imagine Sai King would dig such a creepy poem enough to slyly quote it in a creepy novella.
