The explosive ones.

So those first 10 seconds of a "loud" passage in a post-rock song.

Pretty much all of it. It's all fun. But things with sag/bias/starve/stability controls are my favorite. I don't have the ears to discern types of circuits or gain structures, so for me it's 'cold,' 'warm,' 'hot.' The texture is the thing that makes me take notice, since gain and tone stacks are too subtle for me.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

"Why kind of dirt sounds are most appealing to you"

Guys the OP is asking WHY dirt is appealing, not what dirts you like.

Well shit now I'm confused.

"Why" - I grew up around boats and did landscaping for years so maybe the sounds of motors always stuck with me?
Maybe it's an extra sensory thing where I see cool shapes while listening to textured sounds?

^this^2

Construction sites for me- the sound of a chop saw, the kind to cut through concrete. sustaaaaaaaaaain.

The other part of it- volume. Sounds better louder.

I like compressed fuzz to be honest. I don't know why.

This, and gnarly compressed fuzz like the FZ-2, and I really love the Tone Machine circuit.
