We both love well done instrumentals of many genres.

Even though I do most of our lyric writing Janice is more attentive to lyrics in the music we listen to.

Me? I kinda treat a vocal like an instrument and if it is soulful and exhibits interesting phrasing I can easily attend to that more than the lyric. Of course that might be a function of my long since shot ears smile

Having blathered that I do like “connect your own dots” lyrics that give the listener an opportunity to possibly participate.
