:laughing:

sex, definitely, it's imprinted on our DNA to procreate

but of course with money, you can buy sex, but it still boils down to sex

If we are talking about these terms as motivators, then drugs is out. Sex and money are things we work for. I don't think many musicians want to make it big to fuel their drug habit (I'm sure there are a few, though, so I don't need a giant list of examples). Drugs are usually used for the music, which could still be motivated by sex or money. Or for the love of music. You know...whatever.

I thought the title of this thread said something about erections.

I can rename it:

"I've got a ragin' boner for music: The effect of Sex, Drugs, and Money"

Sex. As others have said, music has been around pretty much since the dawn of time. In places where there isn't even such thing as "money," here is love.

Also, religion should have been on that list. Most native forms of music, in all parts of the world, starts out as spiritual in nature.

i voted sex. We have so many artists now that is themed with sex appeal and all that... Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Rihanna, Spice Girls, Justing Timberlake, Usher, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert and all rappers existing.

pisceans are more eager to go into the music industry?
