I was going to say "lyrics." I was building a case and everything.
Then the voice in my head said, "But...you like Smack my Bitch Up."
*hangs head in shame*
So I can't truthfully say "lyrics," because I would have to deny my unholy obsession with Prodigy.
And I can't. It just won't be denied.
But I'm not sure that you can call what they do "melody," either.
So I propose a third category - beat. I like a good beat. Something that makes me want to drive faster. Or that I can dance to. For example - 80's music, I like, but dancing to it is not my favorite, so I'm pretty ho hum about the whole 80's music scene. But put on some salsa, and I have a really hard time standing still, and, as a result, I can listen to it for hours and not get tired of it. That goes for anything one could use glowsticks to dance to, also. Hence the Prodigy obsession.
You're picturing me dancing with glowsticks, aren't you? If not, you should. Who needs TV when you have such an entertaining mental image?
So I'm going to be difficult and say the most important thing is the beat.
