For my taste in music, I have recently noticed that I've been always attracted to songs that are honest. Humble, honest, and sensible.
And the best part of it in my opinion is that it's all types of music. Reggae, rock, funk, soul, pop, disco, any type of music can be honest!
Some examples could be:

I agree that songs which are honest about one's feelings and experiences, and about how the world actually works, are the best, because they are so relate-able and also teach you something about life or make you think. I think that those songs are balanced out by the ones that are idealist and fairy-like, taking us away on "sugar maple wings" as we play "chess with the moon". The gritty reality vs the progressive surrealism that we all desire.
