Actually, it this pair, gravity
Without gravity it would be hard to collect enough oxygen to be useful...
However, point taken. Still, I think of the pair, passion. As Goldilocks said, skill without passion is boring. Some of both is needed, but for any music that I can think of I will take a reasonably skilled player with great passion over the stylist with amazing skill and no passion.
Of course, I have "a dog in this hunt", since my passion is MUCH greater than my skill
so, you have to take my comments with that in mind.
