Thread Name: Songwriting Standards
Subject: RE: Songwriting Standards
You could say you liked and were inspired by all the songs ever produced by the people of Finland. It may be more informative and interesting to narrow the statement a little.

I may say that I liked and was inspired by Titian. It would be more informative if I stated which particular works I had in mind and why they had that effect.

There is a general tendency to overstate the achievements of known artists, as if everything they ever produced was wonderful, when individual pieces of their work, may not be typical, representitive or very inspiring to anyone.

I just think that the art is very important - the artist less so.

How would they themselves judge their own output? Or how would you judge your own output? On the total number of songs, your best, your worst, your progress? What?
