1. Songwriting- I love good lyrics and the tune has got to be good.
2. Originality- I can't stand it when bands all sound the same, I like a bit of variety!
3. Technical Ability- I do love amazingly talented musicians, but some of the bands I listen to are just as powerful even when they aren't as good as others, for example Nirvana.
4. Attitude- I love my angry women
And music can change things I suppose!
5. Image- Doesn't matter as much s the other stuff, although I do love to look at costumes people wear on stage, and of course the trends started by musicians.
