I listen for a lot of different things in music. Usually what moves me the most is good guitar, to be completely frank. The moments I remember thrilling me the most are the ones where the guitarist just has a really powerful riff. I don't go for the super-flashy, technical showoffs at all, though. Those are an instant blegh. When you can feel the emotion simply through the notes of the music-- that's when it makes those butterflies in my stomach. I also like good or at least decent lyrics. A clever turn of phrase is always to my liking. I usually can't stand vulgar lyrics. There are several songs on the radio right now that have good melodies and whatnot, but I can't stand them just because the lyrics are so gross! I didn't think I was a prude until those songs got on the radio. o. o;; I also like to listen for good bass lines, unique drums... and vocals! I do love me a good vocalist. I also like to avoid repetitive things, or simplistic things. Not to say that those don't have their place as well, but I'd just as soon not have to hear the same thing over and over, or have to listen to something my fifteen year old brother could've written.
