No, that's wrong, usually songs that take barely any time to write are classics.
Depends on the composer(s) i watched an interview with Freddie Mercurey where he talked about the idea behind Bohemian Rhapsody,he came up with the Middle part first intending to do a kind of opera type song,which had no relation to the actual rest of the track as we know it now....the rest of the song took some 3 months on and off to write,because they couldnt get the parts to gel,yet this song is one of the all time classic tunes.so that could be classed as a forced composition rather than spontaneous...
I still stand by the rule of best songs are always the easiest to write,Most of my (what i consider my best songs)have come from spontanious playing,with no actual direction of the song other than to play with no prethought on the song,I've then gone back to it and thought "where the hell did that come from" I'm sure Jarre is the same with composing as most songwriters I know will say the same,If you try and force something out or say "I'm going to write this type of song"inevitably it wont happen,thats when music becomes depressing,writersblock is just a lack of direction.Most of the time when you dont suffer from writersblock its because your not focussed on the actual task of writing other than as a inspirational focus.Its something quite hard to explain to people who dont write their own material,yet at the same time other composers can relate to it,even though you cant actually put your finger on the process of where it comes from
But again some of the great tracks are an example of a struggle with music and the best tracks can also come from Hard work or forcible actions trying to make a weak track work...
but what you consider a great track may not gain the reaction you first thought or could be the opposite to how you perceived it..
