6b here. Definitely not 7. God, I hope I don't get there. I like my discriminating taste in music.

I really like traditional Chinese music. No, I'm not kidding. But your downloads sort of suck as far as that genre goes.

Originally posted by spinstar hmm...good post....as a newb who has been rising up the ranks i can see these stages. Im at level 4 except i dont think all my friends are following my lead. I hope i can bypass stage 5 because it looks really sad with people flaming others for liking so called 'cheese' trance/techno.

why do people always put trance SLASH techno as if they are alike or something? its like going "today i was in the car and i heard punk/new age on the radio!"

Sorry, maybe I was a little harsh. I just hate when they use synthesizers instead of traditional instruments, and when they incorporate any western vocals.

I just got a CD with the vocals of a Tibetan folk singer named Kelsang Chukie Tethong which is nice. It's by Narada, so there's some westernization, but not too much. Check out some samples on Amazon here.

Im at stage 7 Except i dont think Tiesto sucks. Tiesto and Paul oakenfold are my favorite DJs as they have had the most influence on me.

I'm at stage 7 and proud of it.I dont care what people say about what I listen to cause I think their music sucks anyway!
