An iTunes survey: what does your music say about you?

A friend sent me a version of this, but if there are any other categories you can think of, feel free to add them. I think someone's music tells you a lot about them. Here's mine.

I can't tell exactly how many songs of my own I have since this comp used to be my brother's and still has all of his music on it. However, I'll disregard his songs for the other categories. I also have to admit that my songs are not organised consistently with respect to the format of title, artist, etc. I should fix that, but there are so many songs to go through.

Longest Song: Four Seasons, Vivaldi (38:42) -- although sadly, it isn't complete. The last one or two movements are missing for some reason

2. La nuit from Les Choristes by Bruno Coulais (93 plays)
3. Evangeline by Marie-Jo Theriault (88 plays)

Those counts are all low, though, since I often skip to another song before the song's completely finished.

And all the songs on shuffle are my brother's...

My musics says I really, really enjoy movie soundtracks and Beethoven. And Ennio Morricone.

 

My library contains songs by John Tesh and William Shatner (not together, beacause the universe would then implode at the sight of such artistic genius).

 

Morricone =

And Beethoven too, for that matter.

Right now I'm asking them to play the Imperial March.

 

This is kind of an invasion of privacy.
