That's my opinion. What's yours?

Structure is BIG part of any great song. I say it´s also the sum of its components. Is there a great song with a bad beat or lyrics? Also, it needs a hook, something set it apart from the rest. It could be ANYTHING, and that´s what keeps songwriting interesting a rewarding.
