...or play every instrument in the world?


Languages and musical instruments are the themes of this month's dilemma.
This month's 'Would You Rather?' dilemma offers you the chance to gain new talents, and whichever choice you go for, you would instantly become a total expert at your chosen ability.  So you would either become perfectly fluent in every language, or you would be a world class musician at every instrument.

As it happens, I'm already totally amazing at every instrument* so I'd probably go for the 'fluent in all languages' option, but what about less musically talented people?  Which option would you go for?

...or that you could never read a book or magazine ever again?


Music or books?
 Two brilliant things but which one would you get rid
of if you had to do without one or the other?
If you went for the first option then you could still hear everything else like conversations and general noises, but you couldn't hear songs or music.

If you went for the second option then you could still read signs and menus and basic stuff like that, but you could never read another book or magazine ever again.

Music and reading are both totally excellent, but the scenario is that you have to get rid of one of them, so which option would you go for?

And remember, you're voting for the option that you'd get rid of.

Musical integrity or riches?

...making £5 million per year but producing music you didn't enjoy, or in a critically acclaimed serious band making £50,000 per year producing music you were proud of?


And just to clarify, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being in a boy band or girl band.  For example, I would extremely like to be in Girls Aloud if it meant I got to hang out with Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts all the time.

But for the purposes of the 'Would You Rather?' if you were in a boy band / girl band, you wouldn't enjoy the music you made.  That's the dilemma.

Would you choose riches over musical artistic integrity?
