Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?

Check out these sure signs of true music lovers. See how many of them you can relate to, and find out just how big of a music fan you actually are.

1. You Really Did Like that Band Before They Were Famous

A lot of people make this claim, but not everyone can back it up. You, on the other hand, have a copy of a CD the band actually burned themselves complete with hand-drawn art. You own a limited-edition T-shirt they sold when they were still playing dive bars in no-name towns. In fact, the drummer even crashed on your coach one night after he partied too hard, and the rest of the band left without him. You saw the group’s rise to fame coming, and no one can question that.

2. It’s Impossible to Answer the Question “What’s Your Favorite Album?”

Top five lists are one thing, but when people ask you to pick just one album as your all-time favorite … that’s ridiculous. With so much good music out there, it would be a disservice to the diverse history of music to decide on only one. That’s like asking a mother to choose her favorite child. You love them all for different reasons.

3. You Always Have Recommendations for Friends and Family

Being a huge music fan means you not only understand what you like, you also have an intuitive sense of what others will enjoy. It doesn’t matter if it’s your grandma, your college roommate, or your boss, you can introduce anyone to something fresh and exciting that will expand their appreciation of music. Everybody needs at least one friend like that.

4. Your Music Collection is Meticulously Organized

Big-time music fans can get a bit obsessive about cataloguing their music collections. Whether it’s physical albums or digital tracks, you’ve got a system that can’t be messed with. Maybe you organize it by genre and then alphabetize by band name. Perhaps you’ve created a hierarchy based on Billboard chart performance or a timeline following the year each album was released. You most likely own a massive external hard drive containing subfolders within subfolders filled with mp3s. Some may call you crazy, but when you love something, you take good care of it.

Question: If you like a music band a lot, you can pick out your most favourite song.

A. True

B. False
