Default The importance, or not, of a story in a song
Just wondered how everyone feels? Assuming the song has a lyric, is it important to you that it tells some sort of story or gives you an insight into the writer, or are you happy if it's vacuous and fluffy, obvious rhymes strung together with no real intention to impart any sort of message or tell a story?

Obviously, coming from a prog rock background, I like to hear good ideas expressed in lyrics, but that's just me. I know some here aren't even bothered about lyrics, and then again there are the non-English artistes, so I would just be interested to see how people view lyrics, if at all?
