for the most part, i pick up on 'new' music in which the lyrics have something to say.
i much prefer intelligent lyrics that tell a good story or paint a picture to the "i love you,do you love me" rubbish eg: Dylan,Lennon, Weller
secondly, if the song has a melody that i like,that will also get me in eg: Madness,Neil Young
third, i much prefer songs with simple riffs so i can concentrate on the lyrics instead of the music,but the music has to compliment the lyrics
eg: AC/DC, early Kiss
if i'm listening to music that is more complex in structure,the lyrics arent the main thing i listen to eg: Pink floyd "the division bell"
if im lisening to predominantly instrumental tracks, they are mainly background music
