I enjoy listening to music more than watching TV. When I study my lessons I see to it that my radio is turned on because honestly it relaxes my mind. It helps me focus on things that I need to work on even when I am in front of my pc. It inspires me working when listening to songs I love to hear. On the other hand, watching is not my real type because I cannot work on my files while watching a TV show. How about you friends, what do you prefer watching TV shows or listening to music?

Actually I enjoy both but music the most. I wrote a song called Watchin Television and want everyone to hear it some time next year. I won't go into details although the basic theme is Watchin Television can make you anything you ever wanted to be. And this does seem like reality today doesn't folks with the way all the youngsters adapt so readily to the tube? I usually can't work while on the tele but love to listen to my music while I am writing and such. Crocket.

Hmm that's a hard choice! I think I'd rather listen to music too. I do it more than I watch tv. I listen to it in the car, when I do my hair.. all the time!

Yeah, you can listen to music while doing other things while with watching you cannot because it needs greater attention. =)

Well, for the most part I prefer listening to music. Music to me is more relaxing and can soothe the soul. I often find when I am feeling down Music, especially Christian music will help me relax and think about the things I need to be reflecting on besides what it going on in my life at that time. But I do have my favorite TV shows I really enjoy watching, so from time to time you will find me sitting in front of the TV instead.

I like to do both. When I was in school, I would have the tv or the radio on when I was doing writing homework, like math and such. However, I had to have some semblance if quiet when I was doing reading homework. Sometimes I just have either on just for the noise. I can't always work when it's quiet.

I mostly enjoy listening to music. When it comes to television, I enjoy it only in certain times where I find my favorite programs in it. But, generally I like to listen to music a lot than watching television. Watching Television for number of hours also affect my eyes, whereas listening to music is pleasant and relaxing to do so. Soft music is what I prefer the most. Also I get some sort of relaxation in listening to music and I love listening to music in a calm place.

That's a hard one. I love TV and I love music. For me, I would have to say it depends on my mood. If I am happy, most likely I will watch TV more than listen to music. If I am sad, then I am likely to listen to music more than watch TV.

How about listening to music on television. lol. You know. Concert specials and stuff. I'd have to say I listen to music more because I listen to it while on the PC, while in my car, while in the shower etc But I watch alot of tv to though.

I prefer watching television. I can never get enough of tv. I love the history channel it helps me learn stuff and what not....I watch TV alot at night bc alot of my shows/movies our on at night. The only time I listen to music is when I'm in my car driving. That's basically it. Sometimes i'll listen to it here at home but usually at night when I'm trying to go to sleep. That helps me to sleep sometimes. Might find that weird but it does.

although i really enjoy music it does not do much to occupy me so i would have to say i much prefer tv. tv gives me something to do and to take my mind off of other things. it is also the way i choose to relax at the end of a long, hard day. music lifts my spirits and i doenjoy it but it does not "occupy me" so to speak.

I enjoy listening to music the most than watching television. I dont like most of the shows usually and i rarely prefer tv. Music really relaxes my mind and makes me to work quickly relieving me from stress or any kind of tiredness. I also turn on my radio when i work and it seems as though every work is completed within minutes of time by so doing.

i like doing both but i guess i would prefer watching tv. i find it more entertaining. that's when i have nothing else to do, on my free time or when it's my day off. but usually when i'm doing something like typing stuffs, i turn my iPod on.

I would much rather listen to music then watch television anyday. Television kind of limits the mind to thinking where as music expands your brain to creativity I believe. It might just be the fact that I personally am a musician but either way I would like music better then television.

Music for sure at least for me. I love where music can take me or how it can enhance a mood or emotion. Music is almost like a book to me. I am sure most artists like authors wish for there lyrics to be understood a certain way, but what makes music wonderful is that it takes you where it takes you.
