First attracts me is likely the timbre - tones used etc.

But what keeps my attention is definitely the rhythm section. If it has a boring rhythm section it usually takes a decent amount of convincing afterwards for me to want to stick around. And this goes for all music... as a really simple example, think of Beethoven's 5th... the reason it is universally memorable is because of the rhythm used seconded by the timbre used.

It's the same reason why I find U2 so intriguing musically. Solid rhythm section with incredibly intriguing timbre in the guitar/work Edge/Eno does (well the good stuff at least).

Lyrics are often DEAD last... like I could love a song for 5 years and listen to it a bunch, and only after 5 years of listening to it on repeat I'll realize it said something about love or tacos or something and I'll be like, yeah, go tacos! Unless of course the lyrics are especially painful or especially beautiful... somehow that has a habit of sticking out more. Sometimes not.

I have a genre tag fetish. I use this machine, and it gets me almost as aroused as the best music in the world.

For me it is the length. Before I even listen to the song I look at the numbers to see how many minutes and or seconds it lasts. Sometimes I want a short and digestible tune while other times I want something big, epic, powerful. I think that's what I first notice most of the time.

Is this a quote from the talking heads interludes in When Harry Met Sally?

Hi guy!!!

What first attracts you to a piece of music?

The lyrics? The beat? The melody? The timbre?

The beat,that is my opinion

How about you?????
