Gun to your head: Pick one, live the rest of your life without the other.

I shall choose to live without Music Television. In fact I don't watch any of those reality show networks.

**BlakeJesus** · 11-02-2012, 08:18 AM

I would, without hesitation, choose Television as the one I cannot live without. Music is nice, but I don't have that burning passion for it like most people do. It comes and goes, at the very least. What I spend the majority of my downtime doing is watching television, playing video games, and listen to podcasts. So supposing podcasts do not equal music, I would let go of music without hesitation.

TV I can live without easily, as long as I can get basketball games in some other fashion. A life without music would be dull and dreary. It would hinder my ability to function as a human being.

The hardest part about no TV would be not watching sports. It's still an easy choice for me tho. Easily music.

**BlakeJesus** · 11-02-2012, 09:01 AM

Music is overrated to me, which is definitely not to say I don't enjoy music, but I think people like the thought of projecting how much they love music more than they actually like music.

**Basel** · 11-02-2012, 09:12 AM

I love music. I'm constantly listening to it (at work, in the car, at school). But when I'm home, it's all about the TV. I like too many shows and love sports way too much to never be able to watch them again. If I had to live without one, I'd live without music.

**BlakeJesus** · 11-02-2012, 09:19 AM

I've supplanted music with podcasts in my life for the most part already, so this is a little easier for me than a lot of people probably.

Music over TV for sure.

FSH · 11-02-2012, 09:39 AM

Not even close. Music you can get bored of listing to the same stuff but with TV you got Movies, TV Show and Sports you can watch endlessly without getting bored

TV all the way

This.

I love music but I can literally go span of months without listening to it.

**Headliner** · 11-02-2012, 09:48 AM

Well, it would have to be TV over the long term. If it was a short term thing, it would be music easily. I don't watch TV often so it's easy for me to go lengthy periods of time without much TV.

**Jamel Irief** · 11-02-2012, 10:05 AM

Do video games and sports count as TV? If so TV, if not music. I actually suspend my TV service every summer after the NBA draft and don't turn it on until September. In high school and college the running joke was that I was never seen without headphones on and showered in them. Most people have a tv in every room, at any given time I own 4-8 pair of headphones (and just purchased only one TV my entire life, the others I've owned were hand me downs).

**Porn Player** · 11-02-2012, 10:14 AM

Video Games are not TV. Sport watched on the box is. However, you can still go to live games.

****ing hipsters trying to take self pride in their music.
