Thanks for the thread Mike. I really enjoyed all the posts and watching the Lady Gaga video. I'm a big believer that as a songwriter, I am the one responsible for providing the content and material for producers to work with...in other words, the great song. The producer's main responsibility is to make the song sound contemporary and marketable in today's marketplace. That's if you want a "hit". A great song is still a great song even without the production, but today's audiences are used to sounds, beats, production special effects, etc., that make the song current and not outdated.
