yep,some Folk really act more than irrational at the mere mention of the name! When you delve deeper,the only acquaintance they got with her Literature are Critics Reviews!

That's an interesting question, Life. There's no way, of course, that our musical preferences don't say something about us...but it's far from clear exactly what they say.
I always feel more comfortable with people - especially in a romantic relationship - who share my tastes in music to a significant degree. Never been with someone who didn't, so I'm not sure how that would work (probably not well, I'm thinking). Though I know that having music tastes in common doesn't guarantee romantic compatibility, I suspect it may be a necessary condition. If so, that would be an awfully simple way to determine in the beginning whether you are compatible romantically. Hmmmm...
I think more cerebral people (like myself) prefer thought-provoking, cerebral music - probably likes classical (especially Bach ) and popular music that has intellectual/emotional substance (think Coldplay, the Doors, Sting, or Lady Gaga ). I think people who are open to their emotions will enjoy musicians who are very passionate in expressing their emotions and thoughts. People who are more bland probably will gravitate toward "easy listening" or Lawrence Welk. People who are more "simple" might prefer Country ()...I can see this thread taking a very controversial turn if one makes that kind of speculation (I know there are going to be exceptions to almost any of these general characterizations).

Nice thread, Life.
That and just simply what you grew up on could be what you like...
I enjoy most all music ...but put very little real value on it ....much more of a silence filler for conversation..
I remember when I was young my parents friends come over an play cards for hours and never had anything at all playing....
So I feel that my growing up in a house with little music playing at all formed me into putting less value on it than others ...
leigh2154: Rand....Not all would agree, but for me, she just gets it!...Thanks for the links Con...!
Rand and her "tiddlywink" music. I just can't believe someone with her intellect would have had such simpleminded tastes...but then that goes to show how there isn't an exact correspondence between one's musical tastes and one's brains.
Though some very intellectual people can be quite childlike in some ways, so...?
