Poll: Which gender does your music library mostly comprise of?

[ic1male]

A cursory glance through my iTunes library and it's overwhelming female.

From the likes of ABBA, Booty Luv, Enya through to Sa Dingding and Whitney Houston, at a guess I've about 30 male albums out of 300. So about 10% is male, 90% female. I wonder why I find female singers more pleasing.

EDIT: Might be worthy of a poll?

 

[Skidder]

Male bias prob two thirds or more.

 

[Squark]

I think mostly rock and metal and a little bit of dance makes my music quite manly

 

[Judgeneo]

Vast majority male. Not many female singers in rock/metal

 

[Shamikebab]

Male, the vast majority of the genres I listen to (EBm/Industrial/Metal/Rock) are quite male dominated

 

[Glaucus]

Vast majority male. Not many female singers in rock/metal

Ditto, unless you like pop/classical I think most people will have male orientated collections.

Same here, despite it being predominantly metal.

 

[Rroff]

Pretty much even 50/50, mostly listen to Trance and similiar genres.

 

[Tomsk]

Mostly female. My more recent stuff is C&W. Also a couple of Womble albums.

 

[G-MAN2004]

99% male.

 

[Castiel]

Pretty even......

 

[lokiss]

Too much madonna probably tips the balance in favour of the fairer sex.

 

[Meridian]

Mostly male for the reasons listed above (about 70:30 at a guess). However, these days I nearly always listen to female singers.

Edit: Turns out I guessed wrong: my collection is actually almost exactly 50:50.

[Fire_fly]

Mine is around 80% male.

 

[semi-pro waster]

I'd guess that the music I like is more male dominated but there's a question for fans about whether you'd pick groups like Paramore or The Distillers as male or female, the majority of members are male but there's a female lead vocalist - what is their sound?

 

[j6m]

...the majority of members are male but there's a female lead vocalist - what is their sound?

Given that the lead vocalist is often the only vocalist I'm inclined to classify by that criterion alone.

 

[KatanaDV20]

99% female for me. I just prefer it.

 

[Sefirosu]

Only female-fronted CDs I own are a Lacuna Coil CD and some French singer called In-Grid IIRC.

 

[krooton]

99% of dance music is made by males, and 90% of the music I own is dance music.

Guess which one I clicked

 

[Grimley]

I've just looked at my CD collection & all but one album is male bands. The female one is Grace Jones, does 'she' count?
