And just to be clear, I'm talking about market value, not artistic value.The market for popular music cares more about the performer than the songwriter. It may not be fair, but that's the way it is.
Same goes for cinema. There's more people who will watch a film because it stars their favorite actor than people who will watch a film because it was made by their favorite director or producer. EDIT: And I even forgot to mention the screenwriter. Goes to show you.
