Best Answer

The major scale sounds more open, and sometimes brighter and happier. The minor scale sounds serious, and sometimes sadder.

Some examples:

Major scale: Neon Trees, "Animal" ; Pink, "Glitter in the Air" ; Nickleback, "This Afternoon"

Minor scale: Dido, "Thank you" ; The Script, "Breakeven" ; Miley Cyrus, "Can't be Tamed"
