Call it  a cliche or an essential ingredient is in the ear of the  beholder.


To tie in this comment with the discussion on George Carlin's white man  
blues - 
 
Cliche/essential phrases are a series of notes that appear and reappear  
frequently within the context of playing this style of music.
 
It is a cliche when you play the notes, but don't know why they are being  
played. It is essential when you fully understand the reason to play each  note.
