    What a pile of suck. Apple may rock, but iTunes users’ taste leaves much to be desired. ;)

    Only thing it proves is that a large percentage of iTunes customer base are from…. the zit-faced demographic. Teenagers and early twenty-somethings. Lady Gaga and Hannah Montana? Jeez.

    Granted, Apple needs to do a better job of appealing to and catering to mature adults who…. listen to classical music, jazz, or even classic rock.
