Marc, you actually agree with even more then. I used exactly what you said as an example of "being creative". Henley wrote the song and lyric, but Walsh and felder had to use their own creativity to contribute to the recording and arrangement of it.

So everybody involved in that record was "creative"

It definitely wasn't random jamming, not knowing anythjng about it per se, I could tell you by listening to it that it was not improvised and well thought out. Actually, even improvising requires much creativty.

So everybody involved in that track used creativity, anybody who plays an instrument and starts noodling on it is using their creativity. Somebody overdubbing background vocals can be using creativity if using their own ideas

That was one song, from one group, and one producer, I assume, and one engineer, and they all had creativty.

Now multiple that by billions of songs, billions of artists, professional or hack, from the beginning of popular music to today. From musical masters to kids learning how to solo over a chord progression during lessons. Millions of songwriters and lyricists

Creativity is not rare at all. its not restricted to songwriting either. Are there varying levels of creative people yes.

And I'd rather have a creative band than a technical band.
