Fun Stuff > BAND
The music taste of your (possible) significant other
maxusy3k:
Musical taste is a big thing to me, since my music is a big thing to me. My current crush has the perfect balance... loves a lot of the same kind of music as me, but loves bands I haven't heard of / had the time or money to invest in. This gives us a lot of music stuff to talk about while still having a lot in common.
One of my ex girlfriends started out with the same taste as me and then started listening to all kinds of horrible crap. She also ruined a lot of my favourite songs just by listening to them over and over.
amok:
It's not a vital requirement but then my significant other likes all the same stuff as me as well as other stuff I'm new to, so I've never really considered whether it'd be a problem :D
siobhan:
i think i'd definatly have to be with someone who has a passion for music (and hopefully for a respectable type, if not the same as i like) but who knows that his taste in music is NOT an extension of his penis, someone who could just be mellow about things.. not one of those "OH MY GOD! you don't know {insert band name here}??? what have you been doing? been living under a rock? they're so much better than {insert name of my favorite band here}"
grr... i dislike those people
rynne:
My girlfriend didn't listen to very much music at all when we started going out. The most underground thing she had was Weezer's debut.
That being said, since we started going out, I've turned her on to Radiohead, the Dandy Warhols, PJ Harvey, Aphex Twin, Arcade Fire, etc. :)
She's even agreed to come with me to the LCD Soundsystem/M.I.A. show in June.
Mnementh:
It isn't hugely important to me, though it is nice if we have similar tastes. I tend to introduce them to a lot of new stuff, and every know and then someone introduces me to something I haven't heard of. For instance, the woman I'm currently interested in has very mainstream tastes, but those tastes mesh with what I like in mainstream music (U2, The Boss, Bon Jovi, etc.)
So I guess my answer is no, it doesn't matter, as long as we don't absolutely hate the others taste.
