What do you think attracts people to music most?

Question

I'm just curious to see what people think here.

Do you think people like certain songs/artists more because of their talent or is it more to do with looks/attitude and do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing?

Answer 1

im attracted to music w/ meaning. music that speaks to my soul && really says somethin. u kno the kind of music that u can get really emotional about && has a deep message

Answer 2

I think it has to do with the combination of sound and rhythm.  While I do have some artists that I like because of their talent, there are some songs I like just because it is good.  I might not like the artist, but I like that particular song.  

Answer 3

Looks don't really matter to me, since I'm listening to music, I'm not trying to concentrate on their clothes or hair or whatever.  Their attitude does matter, because depending on their attitude depends on their music and what they plan to do with it.

I love talent and originality, that's what attracts me to music.  

Answer 4

Boy George/ Culture club / Marilyn comes to mind

slipknot

Jonas bros

Answer 5

Its a combination of all those qualities

Answer 6

For me, it's because I'm terrible at expressing my feelings. Songs for me are like, the way I'm feeling, told by someone else. I like music/artists because of their talent and their songs, their looks have nothing to do with whether or not I like them. (Some of my favorite songs are sung by people I've never even seen a picture of)

Answer 7

It's the varied & seventy two beat per second tempos that mimic heart rates, found in the percussion.

Answer 8

Instinct - Jungle drums - example:

Answer 9

lots of different things

humans like patterns, and music is all about patterns

one reason i like songs is cos theyre like photos, they remind you of times and places from the past

Answer 10

I think it's a mixture of the whole lot. You know I can't think of anybody who I've ever met in my life who doesn't like some kind of music. That makes music popular with everyone, even if we don't like the same kind, most people love music. If I met somebody who said "I hate music" then I'd think they had a s***w loose as there are so many different kinds out there, there's got to be something for everyone!

Answer 11

they empathise with the emotions it stirs.
