Emotion.
I can listen to a man play the simplest of songs on a guitar but if he's singing and putting his heart into the song I will listen to it, and likely enjoy it. In fact, a lot of my favorites don't have a whole lot of technical ability but they play with heart, and that's what I like. Not to say you can't possess both heart and technical ability, by the way.
That's easily the most important for me. And since my taste vary so much; Its a bit hard to really make a list of this type.
I'm generally into darker music, but that's not always the case. I do listen to some upbeat and bright music.
