I'd like him more

I'd probably be more upset if he has an extensive Donnie and Marie collection.

It is actually kind of a funny question though.  I am quite certain that sometime in the future a candidate for political office will probably run into an illegal downloading scandal.  Yes, when I was a teenage I experimented with illegal downloading but I never inhaled. Confused

A good question, but I'm not sure what people would say. I did have a jazz musician friend tell me that I had "impeccable taste" in music. I can't say that I have good taste. I just know what I like and I like a wide variety of things. On the progressive side of things, I tend to favor the symphonic progressive style the most while Neo-Progressive comes in a distant second place. In terms of jazz, I tend to enjoy more bebop than anything, but I also like a lot of the cutting edge stuff that was happening on ECM and just the European jazz scene in general. For classical music, which I have stated many times on the forum already, I like 20th Century composers more than any other period. I do like those 19th Century composers that were making the transition to the 20th Century as well. These are predominantly the genres I spend the most time in.

If somebody stumbled upon my collection, they would probably say "I've never seen so many CDs" whereas I'm thinking "There's something wrong with me." Wink LOL

I'm sure there's some pretty nasty stuff in my collection but if an opposing political party ever used that on a politician, I wouldn't think much of it. Others would blow it way out of proportion.

My porn collection is probably more incriminating.

Imagine if you were running for political office and the opposition got ahold of your music collection. How bad would it make you look to the average American?

Alternatively, you know how when someone commits suicide or some other violent crime they always go through his stuff and are like "Oh look, he had a copy of the Communist Manifesto. No wonder." What would they say about you based on your music?

I would be in real trouble, given that I listen to a lot of industrial and experimental music that often contains violent or otherwise explicit imagery. I love Foetus, who is fond of using fascist symbolism on his album covers and ocassionally samples Nazi speeches. I also have a couple of Black Metal albums, and you know how those guys love to burn down churches and kill people.

Finally (and worst of all) I like Wagner!
