But I agree, I'm somewhat shocked every time I look at one of these other threads and realize that unless people are posting in the metal thread, they sure do listen to a lot of soft, unaggressive music. There's no punk demographic at CP, you would think, for example.
I think people are embarrassed to admit they like mainstream music as well. Like out of all the favorite albums posted here, nobody has the new Pearl Jam, nobody lists anything from Kings of Leon, or U2, or any one of a number of big name bands that released new CD's this year. Heck, Nirvana released a live album this year and it didn't make anybodies top albums of 2009 list?

I bought the new Pearl Jam. Love it. They're not mainstream music though. They don't get played on the radio. I think most people didn't list it because almost everyone knows about it.
I haven't liked U2 since Joshua Tree came out. Not my bag.
The new Alice in Chains is way above my expectations, is aggressive and everyone on this forum knows how much I love it so I didn't mention it again.
One of the last words I would use to describe the one album/artist I mentioned in this thread would be soft. I guess you'd have to listen for yourself to find out though rather than casting sweeping judgements about.
