Reader's Notes - Your Pre-Programmed Musical Taste

From the madmen at Cracked comes a fine and funny article that lays out the scientific basis behind your taste in music. That is to say, your brain, as well as psychological and social conditioning, have much to do with what you like and dislike. So much for aesthetics, if you take these matters to heart. You can find the article here. Don't say you weren't warned, and don't take it too seriously.
