So what's the most distinctive part in a song or just music in general to you? For me it would have to be the vocalist, sometimes I can tell by the guitar (like Tom Morello for instance), but for the most part its the vocals that do it for me.

If a piano is composed into the music then I will automatically pick up on that the most. But, if there is no piano then I'll pick up on the vocals.
The drums, because they often determine the beat and rhythm of the song. If there isn't a strong drum beat in the song, then guitar.
Usually piano, melody or drums are what keep me glued to a song. Though, it depends on the song and what it's strong points are.
It completely depends on the song. I really enjoy chord structure above all else, mainly because I do a lot of piano improvization, and chords are how I "hear" most songs.
Second to that, the rhythm really provides a basis for the song.
Being as guitar is my first love, I'd say that. First run through a song and I pick up the guitar, next comes the drums, then the bass, and lastly the vocals.
Complex instrumentation (as in more than just guitar, bass, drums), odd time signatures, violin, piano, and a good vocalist are all things I enjoy in music.
Well I have to say drums since as has alady been explained it usaly hoes the beat of the song and of course thats very importent.
THANKS FEONA17 FOR SUCH A GREAT SIGGY
depends on the song really :] (as my choice of Genres are far many)
but if I were to focus on a certain song.
Chaper 7 Sky from Drakengard, I'd have to say the repeating orchestra that drags on for the main parts of the song, it really awesomes up the part where it skips, and it makes the other repeating (not repeated as much) orchestral sounds flow alot nicer.
How well it's been mixed and mastered.
I also listen out for nearly every instrument, and the quality of their sound. I get easily impressed by Jeff Buckley-type (ala Radiohead, Muse, Augie march, Mick Hart) vocals, acoustic guitars (I love it when the bass note on the acoustic guitar is emphasized, gives it a nice raw sound) and nice thick sounding drums.

"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
No one element of a composition consistently stands for me. Some songs are carried by a chord sequence, others by a drumbeat, others by a melody. Other times, the individual instruments are almost irrelevant to the overall sound, and the song just comes out as one 'voice'.
"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
Depends what song it is, usually a mix of the voice and the... Crazy, stuff... They put in. I don't think it's an instrument... Uhh... Yeah...
My input to this win.
