How much of your collection is new wave?

[MikeP]

Okay, after a bit of code tweaking, I've added a poll mod to the message board!

So to kick things off:

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR MUSIC COLLECTION CONSISTS OF NEW WAVE, PUNK AND 80'S ALTERNATIVE?

[fritzb]

With my wide tastes in music I had a feeling the percentage was low. I did a little figuring and came up with less than 20% NW. It surprised even me! [:I]

[xtc-1957]

Well....."pre-hub" was about 20%. Now it's about 60%. GO HUB!!! [;)]

[Frayo]

Hmmm about 70% of what I listen to is new wave...

The majority of my personal music collection is new wave, I'd say somewhere around 80%. However, I do have quite a bit of Classical Music, New Age, (Sam Cardon, Kurt Bestor, Liz Story, George Winston, etc.) and a bit of Celtic Music.

Thanks for the responses! Sorry for locking it earlier ... I was still noodling around with the new polling feature.

I'd say that 80's new wave/alternative makes up around 50-60% of my collection. However, I'm buying more new music now than I ever did

[Rubbeet921]

[Natephish]

[KYYX4ever]

I'd say about 75%.

Like Mike, I've been collecting more music now than I did in the 90's. In the 90's, I spent a lot of time tracking down old New Wave on tape. The other part of my music current collection is overwhelmingly electronica, world/ethnic (

[I. M. He]

I figured (roughly speaking) that only 35% of my collection falls in the New Wave category. It seems that the overwhelming majority is Psychedelia... although this includes many 80's era bands that could still possibly be considered New Wave, so that may

[bpdp3]

Without counting I can't be sure, but it's GOT to be up around 70% (including punk)

[Marilyn]

My collection goes something like this, or close to it anyway...
[b]50% of my collection is from the 80s -- newwave/newromantic/synthpop/pop/rock/alternative/goth/industrial/new beat[/b]
20% new (1990+) Indie Rock/Britpop/Indie Dance
20% new (1990+) El

I can honestly claim a pure collection. There is no top 40 hit in my collection! I seek and destroy else!

[ExRat]

I would say that about 75% of my collection is in the new wave/punk/alterno vein.
