Why do you listen to music
Question posed by stepdaughter Kate, after I recommended she really should have something better than an iPhone/iPad to listen and gain so much more
There was bias in there between the lines - you being a hifi nutter / muso type
Made me pause for thought as I had been comparing a Santana CD that sounded badly made with Underworld's Oblivion with Bells LP
Simple answer though
"To enjoy it"
Odd thing I discovered over the past year or two I now listen to some styles of music I don't (didn't) like, just because I can hear so much good stuff - and I enjoy it
