we record our stuff with a drum machine,and it has no feel.........as soon as we livin' it up with an acoustic set of drums.......the tune takes a whole 'nother turn.......it comes down to the feel.
you can have a dude smoke away on the kit really fast.......cool for about 3 minutes......or you can have a guy like say....Carter Beauford(Dave Matthews Band).....do a 7 minute solo......all nice and melodic......and you wanna hear more.
i don't know........to me music comes down to the feel of the song..............if you don't feel it,you just don't feel it.

Absolutly! I don't really play anything, but have some background with music (Hehe, trumpet in high school, but I was first chair anyway) but what makes a good song isnt the technical skill it takes to play it. It is definatly the feel.
If the artist, be them a singer, guitarist, bassist, or drummer, can really connect to their listeners, they are doing their job. If they are trying really hard to be good, and you can tell they are trying really really hard... It usually sucks.
