Hi Syn. Good thread !!
My tastes are pretty wide & varied, and I tend to be drawn toward the best of most genres of music.
What captures my interest is one of two things, which may or may not be linked:
- Firstly, I love anything which is well written. By that I mean captivating melodies, or arresting rhythms, or strong lyrics. If any one of these is present, then an artist will have my attention. If more than one is present, I'm probably going to like a song or album. All three, & I'm in heaven.
- Music that's original or different can get through the net as well. A spark of originality & swagger can get an artist a long way IMHO.
This may all sound a bit vague & nebulous, but I know what I mean, and it works for me !!
