I assume no guitar playing qualifies as 100% accuracy?

Accuracy isn't everything. If it was, everyone would be listening to MIDI.

I won't attack you, why do you like the music you listen to?

I like music when it is able to change my mood and I understand how the artist felt at the time they wrote the song.

Okay, this might not make sense, but I'll explain why I love Nicki Minaj.

To start off, she does all kinds of genres from as common as pop to reggae (An example of a reggae song by her is Gun Shot) and does great in them all. She's a great singer AND rapper, although some of you probably beg to differ. I'm just not really a fan of rock really at all. It's just not my kind of my music. The only genre I can say I hate is probably heavy metal though. I think it's fine to use autotune, as long as you can't tell or they don't sound like a robot. I just like her voice too.

Then there's all this other stuff, but I don't wanna be typing for an hour.

Ugh, I looked up the lyrics and I can see why you would think it reggae, but it's not. Just because they try to sounds Jamaican in the song does not mean it is a reggae song. In fact, this sounds more like Cajun words, and most Cajun music would by Zydeco, and that song is NOTHING like Zydego. So, I can see where you're coming from, but the song is in fact not reggae. In fact, I have been to Jamaica, and they play lots of reggae. The popular music is Bob Marley, almost every store and station plays Bob Marley. He is reggae, you should listen to him c:

here's a helpful little article on reggae^

my guitar teacher explained playing reggae guitar as "almost playing a little slower on one strum, so you have to catch up on the next strum." It basically follows that format, and musicians who play reggae music would normally use a predominant bass guitar, a drum kit with a high-tuned cymbal, guitar for rhythm, and horns and piano.

What nakes music good is a catchy beat, meaningful lyrics, and a good singing voice.

Which is why pop is my favorite kind of music. 

Current, mainstream pop delivers only one of these.

Way to go around the obvious question.

Is guitar playing a moot point if it's not in the song, or do you only like songs with guitar?

I don't understand either of your 2 sentences in this post.

He's asking

Does guitar playing matter if there's no guitar in the song?
Do you only like songs with guitar?

High and low ranges with mixes of classical style themes with other genres.

I play piano, trumpet, and violin, and I even write my own songs.

I think that a song is only good if it has a real melody, no too repetitive, and has a good chord progression. Some genres of music like rap are just people singing to some drums, there's really no music, just a voice and some rhythms.  I also loathe dubstep (don't flame, I know that this is popular among some people) because It sounds like a dying cow.
I like classical, some pop, and house.

I have no clue how to answer this question

so obviously my first instinct is to try -_-

Okay so i like uh
VOCALS
for some reason
are very important to me
(I've said before that I hated A Capella- I meant like, doing it myself. :< )

I like voices that sound uh
human
and not robotic
and yeah
I personally couldn't give a rats tail if you're trained or whatever if I like your singing voice i like your singing voice
 
I like uh hmm
I like what sounds good to me I guess
