How mainstream is your taste in music? (1 Viewer)

sheryl crow :bah:

I plead temporary insanity. Actually the only song I have is Tomorrow never dies, which I listen to for the instrumental music, so it's more like an accident.

edit: i hate you for selling this website and now all smilies have different codes

I hate new smilies just as much, they suck. Even if they wanted to add new ones, why did they have to remove the old that everyone got used to since the beginning of time? :doublegah:

who would have thought that the beatles were 101.3 % mainstream

Today's New York Times Magazine has an interesting article on researchers studying the social effects of music popularity:
IDEA LAB: Is Justin Timberlake a Product of Cumulative Advantage?
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/15/m...n=Top/Reference/Times Topics/Subjects/M/Music

The general conclusion, using a control group and a group heavily influenced by network effects, is that about half the popular success of a musical piece is due to its intrinsic value. The other half is up to public influence of what becomes popular -- which is pretty much unpredictable and almost random.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go jerk off to the photo of Salma Hayek in the latest Campari ad on page 7.
