Can you name the basic characteristics of music that you tend to find pleasing.

I tend to appreciate more melodic songs.
a song with pseudo-jazzy/ stevie wonder chords.

Rhythmically I like staccato- stuttering like beats. ( slick open hi hats are my favorite drum sound)

Vocally I tend to gravitate towards dynamic singers that have traces of raspy textures to their voice. I like a tinge of teenage angst in vocal delivery too- although its kinda hard to explain...I gear more towards male singers but female singers who use descending scales a lot get to me.

Lyrically I like songs that list examples. Those usually keep me on edge wondering what coming next.

I like to be able to feel and envision a dynamic stage performance when listening to their song.


So that's pretty much my go-to taste in a nutshell.
