I’ve always been a music > lyrics person. I often prefer instrumental music, as it gets the singing/lyrics out of the way of the music. Or I’ll listen to music in another language (that I don’t speak/understand), since it literally is just another instrument at that point.

Having said that, I still listen to and enjoy vocal music, but only as another instrument. I enjoy vocals with complex chords and chord progressions.

And it’s not that I ignore/don’t enjoy lyrics. They’re just secondary to music.

I think that’s the reason I don’t enjoy rap — it seems to be on the extreme end of lyrics > music (e.g. other than rhythm, rap has relatively little instrumentation to it, by definition).
