I never thought about this before. Maybe our brains like patterns, and each individual one responds differently to the patterns (sound, speed, sequence....); hence, different musical taste. We positively respond to the patterns that appeal to the way our brains process them. Who knows, but thank God for it! Music is one of my favorite experiences and a meaningful contribution to my life.

It's really that the combination of pitches and rhythms makes us feel like something, reminds us of a memory or makes us feel an emotion

Well the human touch could be considered an art form of the touch. Its a stretch because we don't really have control of it's creation so its tough to define what the art form of tough would be. I think that the detail at which touch detects stimuli is what makes it so difficult to manipulate in the way that art does. Its amazing though art in general. For some reason it just grabs our focus and drags it into its own world. I think that is the best thing that art has to offer. A total submersion into a different sort of experience.

I know what I like, and to me, the music I like must be "intentional sound" with an aesthetic appeal. For me, it almost always has tone and rhythm.

But I also recognize John Cage might be profound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUJagb7hL0E
But I'm not sure I'll be buying this cd anytime soon.
