Ever like a band......

......and not know what it is exactly that you like about them?
Example: as of late I am listening to TV On The Radio's newest album like, pretty much every day. But, if someone asked me why I liked it so much, I would have to think about it before I answered in specific terms. It just speaks to me, for whatever reason.
Any other bands that move you without knowing exactly why?
 
I'm that way with Beck and Radioheads newer stuff.

Also, being from a youth of listening to the most heavy, hard, and brutal music I could get my hands on, I find myself at 30 and taking a liking to 80's new wave.
Like Joy Divison, The Smiths, New Order, Echo and the Bunnymen, ect. and I don't know quite why I like this softer stuff now.
 
I kind see where you at on the topic. Lately I have been listening to a lot of Blind Melon. I think they are really good, and remind me of my buddy. Aside from a really good bass opening line on Soak in Sin, the catchy tune of No Rain, and lyrics on a many songs, I do not know what it is entirely about there music aspect that really grips me. Aside from the fact they are just plain old good music.
