What is it that you like about the songs you like?

Why do you like the music that you like? What is it that makes a song appealing to you? Is it the beat, the lyrics, the melody, the hook, the artist? What is it about a song that grabs your attention to where you go "Hey, I really like this."
For me I'm a big fan of vocal melody. For instance, I much prefer the vocal melody on Deftones - Swerve City to the screaming found on Deftones - Nosebleed

Could be many things.
Beat
Melody
Lyrics
Mood it creates
Memories it brings back.

It has to be something I can relate to for me to like it

Vocal melody having at least some relationship to the instruments. The reason I hate Don Henley songs is the music just appears to be something random in the background that plays while he sings a different song.

Lyrics are the biggest draw for me. Followed by HOW they sing it. The singing doesn't have to be good. In fact, I tend to like bad singing better (Silver Jews, Modest Mouse, Bob Dylan, Bright Eyes, Pavement). But I want to believe that they believe what they're saying.

Lyrics, vocal talent, dark tones, and great drums usually draw me in

The overall sound and mood of the song. The beat, harmony, hook all play a part. I am not a big lyrics person. I view the voice as just another instrument and how it pairs up with the song. I don't have to know everything the singer is saying.

I tend to like the aesthetic of four kids in a garage. Music is meant to be shared, it is communal. It is not the domain of a select few who then bestow us with their presence of their greatness. So I tend not to like virtuosos or anything like that. I like dirty rock n roll that can be made by four kids in a garage. Preferably on a broken amp.

Drums - because I'm a drummer - first and foremost. But besides that, the song structure, the melody, the hook...all of that, and then the singer last. I can play just about any song I listen to on the drums (for the most part), but couldn't tell you the first lyric. If I get around to learning the lyrics, I must really like the song and the artist.
If the drummer is real basic playing cheesy straight rock and roll 4/4 beats and/or shitty...forget it.

It could be a number of things for me.
The obvious one is the melody, and that's the reason I like the vast majority of the songs I do. Lyrics can make me like a song, with no regard for the melody (and sometimes in spite of it), if its a song that I can relate to. Every now and again, I'll find a song that might as well have been written about me and I love those.
I'm also a sucker for a certain persons voice. It doesn't really matter what they sing, or the music they sing it to. It's just that they're singing. I've fallen victim to a number of songs that I can't really admit to liking because of this.

I respond to a lot of different things about music. It can be a great rhythm that makes me want to dance, great lyrics that I identify with because they touch my heart, amuse me, engage me, surprise me, make me cry, make me smile, make me say, "Me, too!" or "Hell yeah!"
Some music puts me in my head (or in the bed) and some music puts me on the dance floor. Sometimes I'm the lead singer. I don't think I can define what it is about the songs I like, except that I respond to them.
My musical taste is eclectic. Really, across many genres. I grew up hating Cajun music. It was the music of my grandparents. Chank-a-chank. I loved Motown and rock-n-roll. As an adult, I LOVE Cajun music, zydeco music, some top 40, classic rock, alternative, country. Not heavy metal. It doesn't touch my heart or my soul. I can't relate to some of the instrumental music that my 25 year old son loves, but that's the way it's supposed to be, isn't it?

i don't think there's any rhyme or reason to what i do or do not like, but usually, the lyrics are a big draw for me...btw, i agree with you on the deftones...i love them, but i prefer the songs where chino's voice has that melodic, dreamy quality.

Usually the music will have a 'soul'. It does something to me that I really cant explain. Thats how I know I will like it. I have a huge variety in the music I listen to. EDM to folk and blues, even classical and jazz.
