...latest news:

The Institute for the Bleedin' Obvious have, today, concluded that different types of music are related to personality types. Key findings include:

Reggae fans are lazy
Country & Western fans aren't
Everybody except Pop, Rap and Country & Western fans are creative
Classical music fans are shy

Stay tuned for more groundbreaking research.

Apparently we rockers have low self esteem!

How do I fit into this research considering I have Punk, Rock, jazz, blues, rap, reggae, soul, classical and opera in my record collection?

They probably got a govt. grant...

'I know, let's spend all this money trying to crudely pigeon-hole people by music tastes...'

No - check that - they were probably funded by the music or ad industry. Does it say? I'm too hung over to read the article properly.

Probably the arts council. I know a jazz musician who gets arts council funding for his "freeform" jazz experiments. He and his fellows are superb musicians and sometimes when it all comes together they sound amazing, but mostly it just sounds like a bunch of musicians tuning up before a gig. He often laughs about a fellow musician who was asked why he left the gig early. The reply was "you get arts council money to play that stuff,, I don't get paid to listen".

OPERA: High self-esteem, creative, gentle

Wasn't Hitler was a huge Wagner fan?

BTW where's the Rastabilly Skank category?

I saw Jean Michelle Jarre at the Birmingham Symphony Hall a few months back, and before the gig started he explained that he and his "band" would have to tune the analog synths as they don't "travel well". So off they went, and before I knew it they'd also played the first number without me noticing

This research comes from Scotland so is meaningless...
