And for most people the music is certainly the main thing. Great lyrics to bad music won't be listened to by many people.
No thats fair, but I don't think theres a level of success or failure to be judged/measured here. I think it should be on a sliding scale of "effort" and it probably should be binary; Yes there was, no there wasn't. But you judge for yourself here...
