I was looking for more if one particularly sticks out to you, but it sounds like the answer is no?

i listen to some ambient drone, which focuses on tone, timbre, and an expressed lack of structure. i listen to a fair deal of electronic artists who focus pretty heavily on rhythm, often without any regard for melody or structure either. but then there are artists who are all about song structure and melody and harmony. classical music generally puts a lot of weight on these elements. qawwali is all about the melody and the vocal performance for me, since i have no idea what the lyrics mean most of the time. there are artists i wouldn't listen to save for my enamorment with their lyrics. some artists, i like in part for their athleticism, while others stand out for their relative lack of dexterity. i like musics on both ends of the production spectrum. et cetera.

so yeah, for me, the answer is "no". there's not any one common element in everything i like or dislike.

Yeah - I guess I was completely ignorant to that other box... I added it because I knew many wouldn't agree with the lame terms I put up, but didn't realize a lot of people I respect would totally hate being put in a box... now that I type that out, it makes perfect sense as well.

I guess I'm incredibly musically immature (everyone says to themselves, well we could've told you that, but at last you came to the conclusion yourself... hehe) and mostly thought most people had a primary driver.

Good to know it might actually be most people don't (except the poll doesn't match the commenting consensus otherwise, so dunno what to think about that).

Thanks for participating. I guess my question wasn't really well formulated as well, so I apologize about that. It was like, "so what do you like about Ice Cream the icy part or the creamy part?" thinking it was more interesting than that... and it is, but I'm sucking at words.
