poptimistsSparked by a familiar controversy rearing its head on The Lex's LJ, I thought maybe a poll would help us get further into this question. (Let's not go all ILM here, please.)
[Poll #663010]
The underlying question maybe:"Is it important for your consumption of music to reflect your social and political beliefs?" (another old ILM favourite). When the choice to be made is a negative one, a lot of people say "yes" - someone who hates homophobia may well boycott records by an act they see as homophobic. But my guess is people who believe in racial equality don't make 'positive' choices to support that in their music consumption (for instance). And why should they, if they don't like the music? But I think it's an interesting area.

So, this list reflects need for PWC, and new year resolution of metal buying.
I do, however, have some Swedish lo-finess, ans some female fronted goth metal on order still.
I never notice the gender/race thing on lists. I'm planning to get some more calypso music, as the Sir Lancelot album is great
