I love a good tenor singer, which inspires me to yank my own vocal cords to try and hit their high notes! Big smile
I also love a strong bass part. Part of this comes from me loving Rush, but I love being able to distinctly hear a bass part rather than it being part of the background.
Complex harmonies get me too.
Variety in dynamics is something that is important too. I listen to some hardcore now and then, but something that annoys me about that is that the music is LOUD all the time, no variety. Metal can be varient in that, Opeth being a prime example.

That's very good ... and well said ... and by the time that we hear something like Djam Karet, it makes it better. because it is not just a copy of the original.
 
I suppose that when I hear a group say that they are doing some progressive this or that ... I tend to turn it off almost right on the spot, as it feels like saying that they are already on an "idea" about music, and what makes anyone think that they can convey even more ideas through another idea ... it's a very strange and bizarre thought for me ... everything gets so badly translated, that the joke is not even funny anymore!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Non-generic vocals usually get me pretty interested.  Even if I find the singer annoying, I will be drawn more to a piece with interesting vocals.
PROG ON!!!

The entrance of the unexpected instrument. Especially a VIOLIN or FRENCH HORN.  A simple piano will do.
 
Also when you think what the next note normally would be and it's not!
Well, there it is. (Amadeus)

I think flute in rock music is a perfect match to make an "unusual" folk thing... and I often fall into that and a good powerful vocals... That's everything for me... it always work. Then, a good balance between instrumental sections and vocal sections... I tend to be bored for overused instrumental spots. 
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

That is a very interesting question. I mean I also love jazz drumming, particularly in Canterbury albums. I'm rather the fan of the staccato. It's just really fun to hear every playing these very short notes, usually makes everything more ridiculous. Also a fan distortion bass, always makes the bass stand out. I love when a bass is melodic. As a bassist I'm always listening to the rhythm section, and a melodic bass is always welcome. Also sharp bursts of random noise, always fun. Punk influences also kinda interest me, and klezmer, and rap. Anyway any uncommon use of different genres always interests me.

Evil weirdo grooves (think Miriodor's more recent work)
monstrous dissonant funk machines (Bitche's Brew style)
Melodies that constantly switch from one instrument to another (Pocket Orchestra and Yugen)
Ascending and Descending guitar melodies played over each other (King Crimson's Discipline, Every math rock band worth listening to)
Drums that are all over the place while the guitars whole down the beat (Don Caballero)
Odd time signatures that still flow, polymetric riffs, left/right guitars alternating polyrythms.

One thing I can't get enough of is when the drum hits the hi-hat in open position and quickly closes it, Peart does a lot of it. Gets me every time
