Both are little too bombastic for my tastes, so neither

Neither, but if I have to listen to one, it will be U2.

If you're going to have a "Neither" option, why not have a "Both" option?
I like both.

Would prefer to listen to neither, but if forced, I guess I could eek out a few tunes from U2 which don't annoy the hell out of me

It doesn't imply anything about how much you like them. Both could be 10/10. Answering that you prefer both to each other is meaningless. |

The question is "Which do you prefer?" People see 3 votes for "Neither" and they assume those 3 people don't really care for either group. ...I don't really care that much, but I disagree that answering "Both" compared to "Neither" is meaningless. |

Answering that you prefer both to each other is meaningless. Technically, yes preferring neither means you like both equally (no qualitative judgement of either) but I think most people would read it (arguably wrongly) as meaning they don't particularly like either. Whereas answering one or the other will probably be read as "you like the one you pick", even though you could hate them both just not hate one of them quite as much as the other. |

Whereas answering one or the other will probably be read as "you like the one you pick", even though you could hate them both just not hate one of them quite as much as the other. That was always the problem with IMDb polls. People answered the question they "preferred" rather than the question they were given. And this is true for real-world polling as well. Maybe we need a 5th definition; "You hold above all other choices and you don't dislike any alternatives." That way, we could have named the movie "Sophie's Preference." verb (used with object), preferred, preferring. 1. to set or hold before or above other persons or things in estimation; like better; choose rather than: to prefer beef to chicken. 2. Law. to give priority, as to one creditor over another. 3. to put forward or present (a statement, suit, charge, etc.) for consideration or sanction. 4. to put forward or advance, as in rank or office; promote: to be preferred for advancement. |

This is exactly the point I was trying to make. ...It doesn't always matter if one is grammatically correct, all that matters is what the majority of people perceive you're asking. |
