Talk:Rough and Ready (album)

Authorship ambiguity
The article states that the song "Situation", included on this album, "had lyrics by [singer Alex] Ligertwood" and that Ligert's replacement Bobby Tench "was given only a few weeks to write new lyrics" for the album, yet neither Ligert nor Tench are credited in the track listing. Who wrote the lyric for the version of "Situation" that appears on the album, Ligert, Tench, or Beck? The article isn't clear about this. Who wrote each of the other individual lyrics? It may be, I suppose, that Beck at the time didn't consider a lyric part of a song proper, in the same way that many pop stars don't consider a bass line, say, part of a song proper, but if that's the case, why should Wikipedia necessarily follow suit? If the official credits contradict the actual authorship, the article needs to distinguish the two carefully. It does not currently do that. TheScotch (talk) 07:10, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
