The first time through I always listen to the vocals… I sing, and the lyrics always enchant me in great songs…
Later on I always end up listening to the bass though. Just love hearing a good bass rhythm… I need to learn how to play bass…

The hemostats and the scalpel.
I only listen to rock while in the OR and it’s imperative that during surgery you focus on your scalpel and the clamps that secure the critical tissues. Lest you have flaps of skin smacking your pulmonary arteries clear across the room.
Seriously though, I oddly tend to focus on the drums particularly the kick bass (maybe because its the loudest thing in the mix) and the back-up vocals and or horns if there are any. That’s probably because I was a trumpet player for many a year and we had a little joke in the horn section:
What’s the difference between a moose and a soul band?
The moose has the horns up front and the ******* in the back.
I guess I also listen to the bass guitar too. I dated this ***** with Alzheimer’s and our song was Forget-me-nots (sung by Patrice Russian). On that one I always listen to the bass.
Mostly I listen to Salsa these days and the Cacao style fiberglass Ampeg bass is what I listen to the most. I love the way the only down beat the bass hits is every other 4, All the other bass notes land on the eighth note before 1 and 3 so that 4 is kind of like an anticipation of an anticipation of the 1. That’s what drives afro-cuban/latin music and gives it that exciting movement.
Oh, but if there’s an organ in the song I’m all over that bad boy. Nothing better than the sound of a Hammond B3 or a Wurlitzer with the Leslies. I love that sh¡t.

It depends on the band. When I listen to AC/DC I focus on the guitar and vocals but when I listen to rush I focus on the Bass and drums.
Free Bird, always pay attention to the guitars because the solo is four minutes long.
