Of course music needs talent. To write a good song, you have to have some degree of songwriting talent, whether it's a pop song or a 20 minute drone piece. I think some of you need to look up the definition of the word.
Of course, there are different types of talent, and I find most bands who place overt importance on technical talent boring as hell. But to do something good, you have to have some talent at what you're doing - whether that's playing some crazy ****ing guitar riff, or screaming into a microphone while rolling around on the stage floor. If you have NO talent, it's not happenin'.
