Music Taste

Two people can love the exact same song for completely different reasons. One knows every word, one plays it at the right moment, one knows who played bass on it, one needs to hear it loud with a crowd, and one just likes how it makes the kitchen feel.

Twelve quick scenarios about how you actually listen: on the commute, on a Friday night, when a friend asks for a recommendation. Pick what sounds most like you, and you'll get your listener type, what you bring to everyone else's ears, and four things to make listening even better.

12 quick picks, about 3 minutes. Go with your first instinct.
