The Different Music Taste Among Lovers
 

My boyfriend and me have the biggest music gap I can imagine. He likes U2, Bruce Springsteen, Musical songs(God knows why), and Elton John.

He makes fun of my music taste, because he finds it that it is bad. He hates SY, Joy Division, and all the bands that I hold dearly.


So, my question is what is the difference between you and your lover?

my only lover is my own hand and it doesn't have ears.

all the girls i dated have had similar musical tastes as me.

I find that girls have the same musical taste as their last boyfriend.

I give my wife a lot of shit for loving the Cure, but then every female I've slept with in the past decade loves the Cure. I just moan along when she plays that stuff, and so she doesn't play it so much.

She had that classic "Sonic Youth was better in the '80s" attitude until I made her listen to all of NYC Ghost & Flowers and now it's one of her favorite albums, and the title track is probably her favorite song.

She actually used to play in Trail of Dead and yet has none of their albums because she agrees with me they're over-produced.

I can't get her into Sepultura, but what the hell. Kind of the same thing with most noise music, though oddly she owns a Merzbow album (never heard her listen to it in seven years though.)

She got me into Hood, which is totally cool. I'd never even heard of them before her.

We both lived in Olympia long enough that Unwound, Bikini Kill, and Karp are not only bands we've loved for years, but known for as long. Her first boyfriend was Scott from Karp, and they played at my 30th birthday party.

Overall our tastes are close enough to make me pretty happy with things. We even both sing some of the same Carpenters songs to the baby.

I guess cause me and my BF bonded over political talk, and making fun of other gay people that we didn't need to bond over music.

Whatev's, still bonded over something.

Musical Bondage, will be my band's name.

Also, it is true that I am a whore. I lost count after 15 people, and that was when I was 19.

What does Sonic Youth have to do with that remark?


edit- saw the picture.

Please, I am not dirty I bathe every day. Just cause I go down on guys, and have anal sex. Please.

I am not that kinky. Here is my list:

Fisting
Handcuffs
Threesome(In cars, someones bed, etc.)
Anal-Sex
Blowjobs
Outdoors sex
I have more, but the more I put the more I remember that I am happy where I am at. It beats cheap one night stands.

So, how was your weekend?

My girlfriend isn't really a music fan. Just listens to what's on the radio, mostly. We have a few bands in common that I've introduced her to though. Like BYOP, the Gossip, Death Sentence Panda. We may or may not be starting to like more of the same things.
She doesn't like Sonic Youth in general though. But I played Rather Ripped for her, and she didn't seem to mind that...

Good, I was all alone everyone went to Vegas. Spent the night with the BF. Other than that it was the usual, work and doing shit afterwards. Oh yeah homework. Well I am off, have a good night.

I guess my top 10 bands/artists would be Captain Beefheart, Sun City Girls, John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Boredoms, Thinking Fellers Union Local # 282, Gastr Del Sol, Stars of the Lid, Secret Chiefs 3, and the Residents with honorable mention to Sonic Youth, Ruins, Bondage Fruit, Happy Family, Omoide Hatoba (who I occassionally like better than Boredoms), The Ex, and countless others, of course.....

Her favorites, if I would guess right off the top of my head, would be Polysics, Lightning Bolt, Motocompo, Plus-Tech Squeezebox, Animal Collective, Secret Chiefs 3, Brainiac, Causey Way, Islands/Unicorns, and Big Black .. she also loves some Miracle Chosuke, they only have that one album though. She mainly likes poppier shit or shit with electronic hooks/keyboards, though she also likes shit that's propulsive and simpler... she doesn't really like stuff with tons of time changes or stuff that would make your head hurt with complexity.

That being said, we usually agree on music, and we get along really well, for a loooooong time she couldn't get into Beefheart.. she enjoyed the music but couldn't stand the vocals.. but now she gets it.. she has me burn her a lot of CD's, she likes a lot of J-Pop, but I do too. So, yeah, we get along a-okay.

I, currently, am single. And I could give a fuck about the music tastes of random beezies. chuch.

Hehe - from my own experience, I can only agree.

Yeah, I turned my ex on to a lot of bands. Portishead, Breeders, Throwing Muses, stuff I felt my ideal girlfriend would be into.

I purposely only go out with guys who have bad taste in music so I can make them feel inferior.

I can't stand all the bands she likes. French Pop Music (Katerine, Camlille and other shits like that...) Beuh !!!!
I made her get into Sonic Youth, Pavement, Sebadoh... but it was a hard work.

Tell them that you don't like music and you prefer staring at traffic wardens.

its difficult i suppose. i mean you could meet someone who is funny, pretty etc but they are wearing a placebo t shirt. what do you do?

you have to slap him.

please do nefeli.

Camille has good songs (not the ones you hear on TV) especially on Le fil and a good voice. She's irritating as hell as a person though (which can detract people from her real talent).

What's more important, the person or their tastes ? And there are far worse bands than Placebo anyway.

Everyone's different, lovers or not.

Same probably applies not only to lovers but also to husbands and wives. I know my tastes are very different from my wife's. She simply doesn't listen to the music I like when I listen to it. I'm the bigger person, though, and never complain about anything she chooses to put on the stereo, even when I hate it.

My best friend's girlfriend doesn't like Sonic Youth, so he simply listens to them when she's not in. That doesn't prevent her from being a great person and they really love each other so why should that be a problem ?

Having a different taste in music than my girlfriend doesn't really bother me for the most part. Putting up with the other's tunes isn't too hard for me though I will give her shit like any other couple's bickering.

There have been too many threads on this topic in the past.

your right a smashing pumpkins t shirt is even worse.

What does she think of your classic albums?

Agreed!

my girlfriend likes the music i listen to
but i hate a lot of bands she listens too

Maybe she fakes liking what you listen to actually :D

haha
nah she was into the same stuff before we met
funny though :P

Pork, I dunno, she probably doesn't like a lot of those.. or she might.. she doesn't think in terms of "classic" I guess.

She does post on here occassionally.................

My girlfriend is such a girly girl
she likes stuff like sade, tony bennett, Steely dan, Amy Winehouse, Regina Spektor anything where someone is singing with a backdrop of beautifully composed music (barf)
She thinks I, (and by extension all of you) are crazy weirdo for listening to such ear-shocking insanity.
she really cannot stand the ROCK.

since she has been with me she has found that she likes a lot of new stuff. she has also told me that despite my music being so difficult and weird, that she understands now why I call her music "simple" and "basic". She said that her favorite music while beautiful, does not ahve lasting depth when compared to the stuff she hears me listen to.

I have gotten her into cornelius, TV on the Radio, the smiths, and other light fare.

she is a musical wuss. Like marge simpson, listening to "wuss rock".

luckily w eboth love classical music, and jazz, although she gets a hard on for jazz vocalists and I fucking hate that shit.
