for me I generally like fast paced songs with understandable lyrics (no rapping or stuff like that). I like the instruments to be noticable, so the lyrics dont dominate the songs. And I usually dont like it when people sing about their problems (ie. I want to die... aka Chemical Romance).

I like horns and trumpets

They have to have a catchy beat, with drums. I love to hear the drums. Rapping is a no go zone for me. It bugs the hell out of me. Its just like a load of mumbled words. I like lyrics which stand out and mean something.

I like indie and rock. \:D/

I can't just say I look out for certain things in particular. Lush male voices, impressive guitarness, impressive drumbness, tune, pace, lyrics... Just if it sounds good, and it's not pop.

Pretty much has to have a guitar in it- preferably electric. If it's got a bass riff, it wins bonus points. (WELCOME TO PARADISE! Whee!):P


Lyrics have to knock my socks off. If they don't, then it had better have that bass riff.

Genre? Alternative/indie/punk...'tis all good.

I look for good lyrics and a catchy groove, like Emma.
