It would be the melody or whatever it is termed now. I guess it could optionally be the groove. Then it is usually the arrangement and what the instruments sound like in it. If a vocal, with the melody usually will hear parts of it but initially rarely hear the whole or major part of it, just some main line. Of course the guitar parts, when in the tune, are most often noticed but not always.

I remember the first time I heard the pedal steel guitar playing the breaks on Hank William's heartbreakers. And then when Chet played "Country Gentleman" it had all of us old flatpickers scrambling to learn how he did that.

I've found that all music I *love* (vs. music that I like) has a bit of a swing feel. Some would say that's the difference between rock and roll vs. rock. Examples of this include the Rolling Stones and even Van Halen. Led Zeppelin had it too.
And then there's jazz, which has been my primary passion of late.
