And a great vocal, that's a given. If I wanted great lyrics I would:
A) Listen to Bob Dylan or...
B) Read a book.

Thanks again!

I don't think I'm entirely sure I get where you yourself are coming from, Amber, if we're parsing out the parts of music that different people like more than others. Is the rhythm most important to you, or is it the harmonies/vocals? Or both?

Either way, that's really interesting. I think most people who listen to pop/rock music tend to fall under your "lyrics lover" or "guitar lover" headings.
