Comments on: Which of the following scenarios is worse – a friend with too few songs, or too many? http://www.meet-the-beatles.com/beatles-discography/which-of-the-following-scenarios-is-worse-a-friend-with-too-few-songs-or-too-many-2 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:05:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Miss http://www.meet-the-beatles.com/beatles-discography/which-of-the-following-scenarios-is-worse-a-friend-with-too-few-songs-or-too-many-2/comment-page-1#comment-5883 Miss Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:59:59 +0000 http://www.meet-the-beatles.com/beatles-discography/which-of-the-following-scenarios-is-worse-a-friend-with-too-few-songs-or-too-many-2#comment-5883 Well, worse for you as the friend would be if Phil was the second one, because he listens to so much but STILL doesnt like your music, even if he likes lots of others, he shows off, PLUS he doesnt give songs the chance to be heard even if they got epic after the first few lines. The reason the first one is better here for you is because atleast you can justify that the reason he doesnt listen to your songs is because he only likes one genre; when he likes a bunch then you feel that you must have really failed in some way about something you're really pationate about. He'd also be more passionate about one genre which makes it easier to have different tastes and seperate that from the rest of your friendship, where the second example it seems harder to seperate his habit from his self. As Phil himself, it would be best to be the second, because atleast he has all those songs as "proof" that he listens to them, maybe he has ADHD and just cant listen to one thing all the time :) Atleast he has the stuff at his fingertips, and is open to atleast listening to a bit of different styles. The reason the first one would be worse in Phils shoes would be because then he's so trapped in that one little box that he's not even willing to listen to the first line of other ones, and thinks he's superior and is only looking at one part of the entire picture, which isnt a good outlook for him to have in life at all, so it could transfer from music to other areas. His cockyness could also do that though, and probably not in a very good way ;) But hey, if he's great in every other way then thats good, but it is hard if your passion is music and he doesnt support and/or encourage you in it, and that's something you'd need to talk with him about, because nomatter what, he should still support and encourage you through the thick and thin, since that is what a true friend is. But everybody forgets sometimes and bringing that up about encouraging could really improve things not only for you, but for him.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, worse for you as the friend would be if Phil was the second one, because he listens to so much but STILL doesnt like your music, even if he likes lots of others, he shows off, PLUS he doesnt give songs the chance to be heard even if they got epic after the first few lines.

If I didn't like that genre, then B. Of course, music doesn't make the friend though (which I'm sure you already know :P).<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, depending on what A listens to, I would say A because chances are the music he DOES listen to is very good.

A music snob is passionate about music, and it sounds like his attitude is take-it-or-leave-it. Maybe his cultural interests are elsewhere, like books or movies.<br><b>References : </b><br> He doesn’t sound like a music snob at all.

If someone only likes a couple hundred songs I don't think I could carry a music conversation with them. Plus I'm kind of like B, I tend to not listen to a song again if I don't immediately love it. I wouldn't mind finding new songs to hear too. Despite how snobby they are, good music is good music.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think A is worse.

I personally think option B is much worse. If he's into a specific type of music, even if i hate it, its understandable. Everyone has a little bit different taste in music, and maybe nothing else appeals to him. But if he keeps all that music and doesn't even listen to half of it, that's just plain ridiculous and he needs to slim down his itunes. What made you ask this if you don't mind sharing? Option B is so terrible haha.<br><b>References : </b><br> Haha, I love this. I personally think option B is much worse. If he’s into a specific type of music, even if i hate it, its understandable.
