Music vs. Lyrics - what grab you the most?

[Neal]

Generally speaking, the music hooks me first, but it takes good lyrics to hold my interest.

Regarding IYD, pretty much the whole album is a masterpiece as far as the music, arrangements and production are concerned. A handful of songs have yet to win me over with their lyrics, though. "Ghosts Are Gone" being chief among them. I cringe every time the music stops and I hear "... the girls went home!"

Stevie's music .Both .In other bands The music like the beat or the medley catches my ear.I do cant stand rap.hiphop. but I do like the rhythm of the tune.heavymetal ot hard rock to me is like hearing a trainwreck.Country music I'll take both in because I like music with stories in them.not the same repeated lines over and over again.
