Make sure this totals to 100.

Mine:

50% musical talent (if you can't play your instrument, then I'm not interested)
25% interesting composition (formulaic composition == boring)
25% having something to say (if you're not trying to express something then why bother)

Sound 60%
Lyrics 30%

That being said, if a song sounds good but has beyond shitty lyrics, I definitely notice that.

100% - Sound

If it sounds good I like it. If it doesn't sound good I don't like it.

Am I missing something?

I think if I compared all the songs in my music library, I would find that each song has a different percentage for each criterion. I don't like Tracy Chapman's Change for the same reasons I like Tell Me a Fable by Robert Miles, or Asleep at the Wheel singing Route 66.

80% sound/featured instrument A cool guitar or drum sound gets my attention. Something like the guitar in Kashmir or the drums in Serenity.

10% Style
4% artist
3% lyrics
3% reflection
