Think about it. If the answer doesn't come, learn more music theory or learn to play an instrument.

There might be a more common one, but does it actually matter?........not in my opinion. I cant say i have ever sat down and thought "right, im going to make a tune in C minor"

Out of curiosity, why are you asking which are more popular?

sometimes when im having problems with my bassline im trying to change the key, sometimes its effective, giving you slightly different bass frequencies...

there is no popular one, as a dj spins stuff out he usually changes the key as he pitches up/down the track (+4% = half a tone aprox...), and other than that everyone has his favourite tonality of stuff thus each likes other scales...

A Minor, E Minor, D Minor. F Minor and C Minor are also pretty common.

You can use any key you want, of course.

Natural minor.

A ton of trance tunes use it. I guess we might listen to different sets of artists or something.

oh... well i dont really consider natural minor being a minor scale... its a major scale that starts on the 6th note... but thats just how i feel bout it, but i guess formally your more correct than i do

The Aeolian mode (i.e., natural minor scale) is completely different than the Ionian mode (i.e., major scale). First, major and minor scales are defined by the intervals between notes in the scale, which are obviously different for a major and minor scale (or, all of the modes for that matter). Therefore, by definition, a minor scale is NOT a form of the major scale. The other primary difference is that the root/tonic chords are obviously different (major chord vs. minor chord) and the way chord progressions are built around resolving to the tonic chord of each mode can also be quite different.
