Why do I ask? Mostly to get the community to engage in conversation, to talk, find out common interests, share stories. And from the posts here and at the What are you currently listening to? topic, looks like music is a strong presence in the life of some people, and it’s nice to find out that some of us share favorite artists and similar tastes.
And last but not least, because music to me is important, to the point that it keeps me alive. If it wasn't for music, I would be long gone from this world.
