How important is your choice of instruments in songwriting and can I trust my own judgment?

What sounds should you use in your song, if you want it to be a hit single? How do the sounds used on a record affect the way it's marketed?

Join music producer Luke Jones, as he discusses the importance of instrumentation in songwriting. He takes a look at classic 1980's drum machine the Roland 808 and the ever popular Korg M1 organ sound. Whilst using these sounds to try and write a hit, he finds himself contemplating the things that motivate songwriters, the issue of quality control and the importance of a good A&R team.
