whats more important in a song, beat or lyrics
3 minute guitar solos.
Both. A good beat can be ruined by rubbish lyrics, and vice versa.
I say lyrics. A song can have a catchy beat, but it gets annoying if the lyrics suck and it gets stuck in your head. For example, I hate the Gorillaz' lyrics, but their beats are pretty good. I say this because I have 'Feel Good Inc.' stuck in my head and I want it to GO AWAY!!!:cry: But anyway, hey Tifa's Real Lover(really, did you make this thread because of the FOB/P!atD conflict? xDDD
beat??? do you even know what's a beat?Quote:

Maybe I'm weird, but that's how it is for me. :D
Not lyrics, but horrible singing are what usually ruin a song for me. I've heard songs with GREAT beats and melodies, but the singer's voice was just AWFUL.
I agree completely.Quote:

The guitar
