Wouldn't the lyrics, music, and members all end up being on the same pyramid inevitably? (genre doesn't really matter as any genre can affect a young person's mind)
I mean, without the members, who else would be noodling away creating the music and lyrics. It's part of their initial vision and part of what they want to bring to the table before their time's done but I suppose that when the members leave or break-up this point becomes moot. Without the music, the lyrics wouldn't have a backbeat with which to penetrate the the deep recesses of the soul. And without lyrics, how else would identify with the members ideas? Pete Townshend, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain (yes, despite all the slag he usually gets, he was a pretty good songwriter), Brian Wilson, and Rivers Cuomo all wrote about their internal conflicts that could easily be a reflection of the listener's who internal conflicts.
