People 'Like' Those Who Like the Same Music

Ever wondered why music can be an enormous battlefield in churches? After all there are few altercations surrounding the flower arrangement, or the strength of the tea. When it comes to tea, I tend to hover until the colour deepens to my taste. Why is it so many church folk drink it weak-black? Someone should do a study on THAT!

But I digress....
Specific and even intense musical taste is not confined to the church. A new psychological study explores why we connect more closely with those who share similar music tastes. I hope you find it illuminating.

What I really want to know is which music is associated with which values!

Well I think its not so much that particular styles indicate certain values, but rather that if you and I both like U2,(for example) we assume we are of 'like-mind' in at least some areas. I certainly think that fans of John Williamson tend to hold traditional values and have patriotic tendencies.
