MUSIC or LYRICS ?

Great question @Brian For me it is definitely the music – much of the music I love is purely instrumental and I consider that it reaches parts that words cannot reach. However I am also a lover of folk music and in that genre (excluding instrumentals obviously!) the words can be as, or more, important.

It depends on the song. Ideally a song has both. But then, there are so many song great songs with meaningless lyrics that we all love. Songs that have it all are ideal and rare. Songs that have stood the test of time with meaingless lyrics or lyrics about a subject that really is not very meaningful include:

RE: Stranglehold, Norwegian wood also ends with a bit of arson.

I’ll also put in that there’s no shortage of songs out there which would be pointless without the lyrics. “Positively 4th Street” and “Sometime Around Midnight” being some good examples.
On the other hand, “Apache” needs no lyrics.
Then of course there are the songs that are only popular because people misunderstand the lyrics like “Every…Read More

I think most instrument players are going to side with “Music” over lyrics. Good point about the “nonsense lyrics” @Peter– I had not thought of that. In support of lyrics, we agreed that “Rap” is all about lyrics. Same can be said for any novelty song (Weird Al, etc) that is reusing a melody. Many places I have seen the quote to the effect:…Read More

I wish these companies wouldn’t use such obtuse names. If I’m scrolling thru my plugins and see Ellixir I’d pass. How am I supposed to know what it does? I’ve got too many other plugins I can choose from that are easier to find.
