Do you prefer good lyrics, bad tune or bad lyrics good tune?

I go for the good lyrics bad tune. (Maybe why I like some Bob Dylan? Maybe why I'm a Waters more than Gilmore?)

What's your preference?

If the tune's no good, I'm not interested. If the lyrics are no good, I can switch off to them and enjoy the tune.

A better question might be, "What grabs you first in a (good) song? Tune or words?"

Personally, it's the tune every time.

The ratio of 'lyrics only' albums to 'instrumental' albums must give a clue as to the general populations' preference.
