Rick Rubin Quotes
In Neil's mind, what separated him from all of his Brill Building songwriter counterparts was he wrote songs on the guitar and everyone else wrote on the piano... Guitar is equated with rock in a way piano has never been, so Neil has an unusual mix of guitar-based (rock) songwriting mixed with Brill Building melodic (piano) approach.

He sang differently when he was playing the guitar... There was a purity to the vocal that was more natural and less of a performance. He was less able to think about what he was singing and it sounded better.
