if you consider how the lyrics/vocals fit in with the music, he's much better at it.



also, if we're taking how technical something is out of the equation... isn't catchiness the biggest part of songwriting?

not entirely, some of the greatest music ever written isn't very catchy, but yeah I guess you're right that most people need music to be catchy.

I don't think I "need" music to be catchy to like it...



my point is, if we're not considering the level of complexity or technicality to be part of songwriting, what is a more important aspect of it than catchiness?
