Fun Stuff > BAND
The music taste of your (possible) significant other
The Engine Driver:
I think it's important that we have at least a bit in common.
Her favorites are Elliott Smith, Sleater-Kinney, REM, Quasi, Moby.
Mine are Elliott Smith, The Decemberists, Belle & Sebastian, Wilco, Corrina Repp, Quasi, Modest Mouse, among others.
She seems to dig most of the stuff I've introduced her to, though.
I couldn't have a long term relationship with someone who was listening to crap like Good Charlotte or Stain'd or any of that modern rock radio bullshit.
muffy:
Dude! My mate's band supported Quasi last night in London!
And they're supporting Sleater Kinney soon...
(That mate would be the guy I like but have done nothing about...)
LightThievesAll:
I had a girlfriend who was quasi-pretentious and very much into bad indie rock and, uh, "deep" I guess mainstream rock. This did not mesh well with my punk and metal sensibilities, however, there was a give and take and we managed quite contentedly. As a direct result of that relationship I cannot tolerate Dave Matthew's Band even to a degree.
Also, for some reason, I never get involved with subculture girls. Don't know why. The current girl I carry a torch for is a recovering hippie, but she likes 60's skinhead reggae and Black Sabbath, so we can hang out peacefully.
Note: to the ladies, never, NEVER scream "don't get hurt!" as your boyfriend leaps into a circle pit, because he will be the de facto punching bag for several songs.

LightThievesAll, oh geez I can imagine it *holds back laugh* eh, sorry
If it was on a show it'd be funny but probably not fun in real life...

Truer words were never spoken my friend.
As for the gf... she listens to *country* though she's starting to like indie music a lot more. She just recently asked me to burn a copy of my Shins and Arcade Fire albums for her to keep at her desk at work, and she *loves* the Decemberists (I took her to her first show ever where they played phenominally), so it's at least getting better. And whenever I try to say that country sucks she reminds me of Iron and Wine and The Fruit Bats... both of whom I love immensely.
