Actually Cmaj7 was my original username here!
Hmmm. You're not putting me on, are you?

See this post and the quote in the next post for proof.
So you were! Blimey.

Well as long as it is a dumb poll, I'll say something dumb, or ignorant at least, but truthful for me: What is a 7th chord? As such I cannot vote meaningfully. Oh well, I don't belong in this thread but felt like dumbly posting in it anyway.Originally Posted by Dim7
Really need a "What is a 7th chord" poll choice.

I should have included the "non-tertian" ones as well though...
I actually have a sincere opinion about this dumb poll. I really like the sound of half diminished seventh chords more than any other.

I find dominant 7th's outside of musical context quite ugly.
I chose the Dominant 7th for the obvious reason. It's easy to play on the guitar and is essential for the blues.
Hurrah!

I voted minor 7th.

I like minor 7ths too, but we are only allowed one choice.

That tritone, I suppose?
I'm fond of the four-note quartal chord, which, with a change in voicing, becomes a suspended fourth with minor seventh. Why isn't that in your poll?
Also, there's got to be someone else out there whose first association of the the sound of the minor-major 7th chord was with the James Bond theme.

Sounds prettier than dominant 7th to my ears, even though there's both a major seventh and a tritone.
