I don't know that saying most music doesn't have lyrics is correct as most of the music seems to have lyrics. If lyrics are used they are most certainly important to the music. Just as any other part of the music is important. They are a part of the music as the instruments and separating them is not enjoying the entire content of the music.[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

You can, quite easily. Most music dosn't have lyrics. They are supposed to complement each other when used, but the lyrics are still not what make music, which is why they are secondary. Folk music is diffrent, but at the end of the day the music is still more important, otherwise it's not music. I don't like folk music.
Yes it is, innovative means something new or a new technique/method, look it up then tell me I'm wrong. Incidently what has innovation/originality got to do with quality ofmusic? As long as it sounds good, it sounds good. Being new wont change that. Regardless that seems more gimmick than original. All music is diffrent, and all music does diffrent things, regardless of what it is and if it sounds like something else.Very little music can bedescribed as innovative or original using your definition, and very little music is original. It's a rare quality, but in my eyes it wont make it better because eventually it will become common, it's short lived.
The argumentI'm making is that people are allowed diffrent tastes, andthere is no way to measure the qaulity of their tastes, becausethere isn't.It's as simple as that. Technical skill is only irrelevant if it adds nothing to the song though, which is also subjective.

Yes....people are allowed different taste. No one is arguing that....I don't think. But there is still good and bad music. It's not all equal just because it's made nor because someone enjoys it.
I think most music dosn't have lyrics. By modern standards probably not, but certainly in the past I'm sure, and you've also got alot of film music, background etc. Lyrics are a small part of the music to me, intresting but the true enjoyment of music comes from the sound produced by the instruments. That will allways be more important to me, and that' my opinion. Saying lyrics make a song better is subjective, espically when someone finds the music its self incredible. Often times I feel lyrics can take away from music, often simplfying it to give more emphasis to the vocalist.
It's not equal either, but there is no objective way of stating a piece of music is bad, and ther efor music is subjective, because music will have diffrent effects on diffrent people, and diffrent people enjoy diffrent aspects of music.
In general....the majority of music has lyrics. That includes music from the past and present so stating most does not have lyrics would be an error. Taking the lyrics as less important than the other aspects of the music is strange. It's the complete package that makes the song/music. That would be like listening to cIassical but saying the violins are not important. Or rock and negating the affect of guitar.Yes there IS an objective way of stating that music is better. There are specific rules in music. There is diversity in the ability of the musicians. Perhaps if one does not seek out better music they are comfortable accepting that what they listen to is equal to other music but I can tell that you Miley is NOT equal to Beethoven. No way....no how. And to state such means one is not familar with music.
