That's interesting to me, and I probably shouldn't be as surprised as I am by it.

    Do people really react emotionally to music?

I do. I am incredibly passionate about music. I have cried to it, laughed to it, got angry or placated while listening to it or playing it, any range of emotion you can experience I have probably experienced through music. JakobVirgil the first time I listened to All Hail West Texas it broke me down to the core. TV music does very little for me though, the same goes for movie music. I'm too busy paying attention to what's actually happening. The original Halloween does a great job in utilizing music to add to the film though.

The average of my scores was a 60, by the way.
