Ive been composing songs for years, always starting with the the guitar riff.
Yesterday, I tried starting with the bassline.
Bros, why didn't you tell me it was that easy?

It's fun with other players, but boring alone.

Wrong its vocal first then the chain you wrote. You just know someone is a music pleb when they ask if theres singing or not, as in if not they discredit it as inferior music because their pea consumer brains can only relate to lyrics and not the musical lyrics itself

also sugma

Oh and God knows if they hear music with synth emphasis with no vocals they will dismiss it as "video game" music like it means anything lol. Same with everything soft with syncopation/chord harmony emphasis dismissed as "elevator music"

For me, vocals are key.
I just find more easy to create a solid foundation of desired sound to sustain my vocals with a bass rather than with a guitar.

Remove vocals from a song and it's still a song
Remove drums from a song and it's just aimless guitar wank

Music prod is another beast on its own and each persons have preferred approach. But generally speaking from a pure listening experience vocals, drum, and bass sit on top but not all the time
