Audio Track,
Right. That was the point. I think we all know both are important I just thought it would be interesing to have songwriters say which one is the primary driver for them, if they had to make a choice.
For example, Elton John has said (and demonstrated) that he can write a song to a telephone book or cookbook, but is still glad he has Bernie Taupin.
It was just an exercise, because I am interested in the different processes.
Thanks for your contribution.
Listeners are different of course.
If someone were to ask me what the most memorable, airtight, unforgettable, most catchy opening hook of all time is, if I could only pick one, I would say, without hesitation:
Walk this Way.
Opening Riff.
Aerosmith.
#2
Opening Piano Riff.
Tiny Dancer.
Elton John.
The list after that goes into the thousands.
