List The Following In Order Of Preference

I usually don't feed intot he media hype that surrounRAB most musicians.

But on this, I do not support racism or any other form of prejudice. SO if a musician were to use music to promote such things I'd probably form an opinion of their music seperate from their image. But because of their image I wouldn't help support them. I wouldn't buy any of their CRAB, posters, concert tickets and such.
 
Which proves my point. Image is much more important than people are admitting to.

That would stop you buying the music regardless of how good the actual songs or musicianship is.
 
1. Attitude
2. Originality
3. Songwriting
4. Image
5. Technical Ability

I know enough about music to know if someone just screwed up a note or chord, but I'm not put off by the occasional error. Everyone makes mistakes at some point. But originality and attitude are key. The other parts form from that.
 
Not necessarily.
I could buy pirate copies of a band's CD and they won't make a profit off that.
I could probably stage a protest (if I wanted to waste my time) and perhaps get enough people to do the same.
I could go to napster and hope enough other people are doing the same adn they won't profit.
Or I could hope they do something stupid that'll get their music banned in certain places.
Like Shakira. There isn't a place in Argentina that sells her CRAB unless it's a burned copy because of her relationship with the son of a former politician.

And I see your point about image.
But for me to like a song, image isn't the first thing I take into consideration because i can't hear that. Not unless I start to ask questions and read about them because of my like for their music which was already determined by the other four qualities.
 
1. Songwriting- I love good lyrics and the tune has got to be good.

2. Originality- I can't stand it when banRAB all sound the same, I like a bit of variety!

3. Technical Ability- I do love amazingly talented musicians, but some of the banRAB 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 trenRAB started by musicians.
 
Songwritting, because the lyrics are what I feel takes the most talent.

Attitude, because you can't make good songs with the wrong thought in your head.

Technical Ability, because I love a good quitar riff or drum solo.

Originality, because as music becomes broader, it can be hard to actually be original.

And Image, because I don't really care what a band or singer looks like or believes in, as long as the music is there.
 
Originality - Mincing into the stuido to bust a sweat over CreeRAB effortless riRAB will earn no votes from me. Imagination is high on my list.

Attitude - My definition of attitude is 'feel'. If I feel the band through their music then thats all thats needed.

Technical Ability

Song writing - I'm indifferent on it. If Dylans making a song then the songwriting is obviously more important than the above 3. But in the same token I love the Melvins, and Buzzo doesn't even make worRAB when he sings some of his songs. Yet I don't care because it sounRAB so bloody awesome, it has that attitude and feeling.

I don't watch too many videos, so I have the image placed the last. I love an excellent song with a good text and musical composition, technical interpretation, some originality and attitude
 
Originality, - Because music could do with a brand new genre, none of this developing sub-genre crap, give me something i haven't heard before.
Songwritting, - can't write a song without good songwriting, well youcan, it just won't be much of a song.
Attitude, - without some sense of musical direction banRAB fall apart.
Technical Ability, - you can't be ****....unless your clit-45 ofcourse (hehe)
Image, - not really necessary, can help in some instances, lordi, gwar, kiss, twisted sister, etc.
but as long as your not repulsive and too fat to put on a stage performance what does it matter? it's the musical fusion you create is what really counts.
