Reason Songs

is there a reason certain songs appeal to certain people?

there are a few, certain songs that i ABSOLUTELY adore...they just sound SO good to me, SO much better than 99% of the stuff i hear and i wonder if the underlying beats or something are similar in all of them and that's why they appeal to me...is there a way to check? could that ever help me find other songs i would love? i'm an art person, i know nothing about music...is there any research or programs that investigate this kind of thing? so does software exist that can analyze songs and make recommendations? if so, i wonder how an ordinary person can have access to this kind of technology...

1. Of course
2. In fact, they do. I have a degree in psychology, and ive also done studies on music, and there is a corrolation in mood of the person as to the songs they like. For instance, you want to listen to songs that match your mood.
3. well, i like most of the songs i like because the lyrics mean somthing to me, or they bring me back to where i was when that song as popular. Other songs, and seletions of music move me becasue the assebly of instuments is so moving, the sounds of the indivisual instuments harmonizing in a particuliar way is "music to my ears" !
