3016910, What do you value most in songs?

more than likely its a sum of all its parts but if you break down the elements in songs which element are you able to forgive being okay if everything else is great? which element will carry an otherwise average song?

im trying to keep a spreadsheet of all new music i listen to and i break it down to three elements beat/music - verses - hook

in theory they are all equal and my overall score for a track is the average of the three elements. if a song doesnt have a hook or verse it doesnt get factored.

i know for sure a dope beat will make me fudge the verse and hook score so the overall avg will hit how much i like the whole song. a bad hook will make me bring the whole song down. verses in general ride with the beat/hook avg. sometimes a really great verse will carry an avg beat but the hook might still bring it down.

i know this could be broken down even more and differently as well.

how do you guys do it?
