I should probably mention that I only download music from legal sites - either free samples on the bands' own websites or eMusic. I'm quite ethical about that.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.  Please write any additional comments you feel are applicable to the context of this survey below. The only reason I never downloaded with filesharing was that at the time that it was still possible, I had dial-up only and it took to long. I still don't buy CD's if I like only one or two songs on them. The closing of the free filesharing ventures got the music companies zero income from me. For me, to tempt me to buy a CD, the majority of the songs on it have to appeal to me, or else I will not buy.



Good Luck SJA.

Ranking music was hard (started with 12) and best guessed, (this is what I least want to hear right now) Folk is not my favourite, but it did turn out that way and I won't change it. I realize 'genre' is hard to define, but I don't consider Rock and Pop the same thing (hate pop). I listen to classical as well.

You need a classical category here, as well as an "other" category. And I agree, rock and pop are not the same.   *sniffs haughtily

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.  Please write any additional comments you feel are applicable to the context of this survey below.

classical would have been good to include and i would also say i consider rock and pop to be different. i hate pop but listen to more mainstream rock as well as heavy metal, also indie.

Thank you all for your feedback on this.  I do appreciate it.  However, I feel the need to defend myself a little.  I can't say too much...I don't want to sway any remaining surveyors...

This is for a class called "Popular Music of the Americas Since 1840".  Classical is not popular music, so it does not apply, but I WILL be mentioning that the classical genre was not included on my ranking list.  Also, I know classical may be someone's all-time favorite music genre, and that's wonderful, but I chose these particular genres for a reason, which I'll get to in a sec.

Also, I agree that Pop and Rock are not the same genre.  Chicago and Britney Spears have nothing in common musically.  But I lumped them together for a reason as well...

This is a Social Science class...not a music class...it just happens to deal with how society shapes music, and how music shapes society.  I lumped Pop and Rock together because of the social following of both, not so much because they have a lot in common with each other, but because they have so little in common with the rest.

I hope that made some sense!  :D

Thank you all for doing this...it's saving me a lot of paper, and I'm getting much more varied results than what I would have gotten asking my friends!

Please, continue... :)

I decided to answer this as you have no other mac users. I would care about CD cases if they were equal to the album covers we used to get. Considering the amount of money that goes into making a CD compared to what went into albums, the labels are making a killing yet they spend all this time screaming. They can make a profit selling in China for $2 :p

Classical music isn't listed.   :(

On purpose. See above. It's hard to catch the posts in the middle of all the really big surveys, so we may see this question/complaint more than once...

SJActress. you'll notice reggae is my number one, which you also didn't include. If it upsets your data, you can remove that and just bump everything else up a notch. Though I really do like reggae the best. :)

Thanks witch!  :D

That would have been a valid selection too! *kicks herself*
