Brain activity reflects how much people enjoy a particular new tune, http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/349594/description/Mental_puzzles_underlie_musics_delight

This goes a little deeper than what we usually heard on American Bandstand, "...it's got a beat and I can dance to it...I give it an 85..." :D
