For example, I will--without fail--like a song better if it's in a language other than English or a romance language (Spanish, French, Italian, etc...they just don't do it for me olol) if the tune is exactly the same.
I also like books and movies more if they have some sci-fi elements in them...but that's true for a lot of ppl :P
How about you?
As it seems for most bands that I like, I like their 2nd album a lot better than their first.
The bands that come to my mind are Keane, Daft Punk, and Switchfoot.
Under The Iron Sea was full of great songs, Discovery was just a bit better than Homework, and Nothing Is Sound was fantastic.
I tend to not look into alternative stuff. I don't hate the alternative genre, but so much bands labeled as alternative are either really boring or full of suck. I have found some alt rock to be pretty darn good though (ie, white stripes, priestess)
I generally hate any 'romantic comedy' movie.
With music, I tend to absolutely stay away from rap, country and alternative rock. Even if I think something's catchy, I won't admit it. :P
And I'm pretty much biased on 4kids entertainment.(if that's moviecal) (O:
