This.
I like it when all band members contribute their instrument and their musical knowledge equally, with nobody sitting on the sidelines. I like it when they can show that they are talented and know what they're doing with their instrument, and who are not afraid to be 'out there' or to bring something different to the table. I also love to hear musical technicality.
But musical technicality and talent isn't everything... a good band also have to mean what they play, and convey the stories or emotions or feelings that are in their music to their audience.
