The music taste of your (possible) significant other

Yes, yet another poll to satisfy my endless curiosity...
Who, when considering someone to ask out/date/get to know better, has similar/good musical taste as an absolute requirement, and who does not?  But if so is there an exact science to it or how do you go about deciding what is good enough?  Or, is there anyone that is currently with someone who does not have similar/good taste?  With this crowd I might dare assume that most have some requirement but maybe you have an interesting past story.

While it's not a prerequisuite, it generally warms a guy  to me, for two main reasons:
1 - music is important to me, and sad though it may be, it's a large part of who  I am. It doesn't have to be the same type of music, but some kind of a passion for it generally helps.
2 - Indie boys generally have fringes or longish hair, making them instantly more attractive, and occassionally couple this with a love of eyeliner. Also, the hyper-sensitive, artsy thing is kinda cool too.
3 - Boys in Bands. I know it's lame, but I can't help going to gigs and being attracted to the guy on stage with a guitar/mic/whatever, and have a rather appalling track record for disasters with people like this.

Case in point  -  I met the guy I'm currently nurturing an unhealthy crush on when he approached me in my local indie club and started ranting about Bright Eyes. We don't talk about music that often, but it's there as a common ground...

I've just realised that this thread relates to significant others, and I can only talk about it in theory. This is very, very sad.

Of course it’s important, I more or less listen to music 25 hours a day and if my girlfriend couldn’t stand my music it would definently be a problem…

japaneasy:
I've never actually dated someone who liked the music I liked, at the time I liked it, heh.  My last gf was totally into the indie scene, at the time, I hated it.  I listened to trance and house mostly.  Made road trips an interesting experience.  I'm finally coming around to it, a good while after we broke up.  Heh.

yggdrasil:
The last girl I went out with doesn't seem very interested in music at all, so she never had any problems with anything I listened to... it would have been nice if she was into the same things as me, but you can't have everything.
