well no matter how good the beat is, i'll get bored.

good logic but damn right I'll listen to a skilled percussionist over a pianist

Good logic, but for you it's the opposite of what KilldaDJ said? 'but' and 'damn right' confused me there.

No, techno is the kind of music Rodri Santos can't listen to for hours without drinking or taking drugs. Stop posting, you fucking moron.

This. How on earth can you choose one over the other?

Actually, when I hear a track I like, the thing which sticks in my head all day mostly is the melody (unfortunately this happens also with tracks I don't like...).
Still I think I can't see one without the other.

Plausible enough for condemnation and ridicule yet somehow not implausible enough to ignore...

i just read a David Mamet book where he claims that in music, the beat/bassline is much more important and memorable. But the book was about drama and story structure, so take it FWIW.

I listen to a lot of driving tech house, so the melodies are scarce.
