Eh. My really close (as in, if I knew I had 20 minutes to live I would call them) friends and I don't necessarily have tastes in common -- we turn each other on to new stuff and sometimes make fun of each other for liking certain bands/movies/tv shows. I like to hear about the different and sometimes (from my POV) wacky stuff that other people are interested in.

On the other hand, as a person with a day job, I get a lot of my socializing at nighclubs and concerts -- meaning that a lot of the people I socialize with like the same kinds of music I like, or they wouldn't be there. Some of the people I've met at these events get to be friends, either of the close variety or (more likely) just people I see around sometimes and stop to have a drink with. Sure, I have met people who agree with me about music but are total assholes otherwise (including one of the best DJs I have ever heard, who is a giant cock in my not-so-humble opinion), but I have also met people through music who turn out to be worthwhile to hang out with in other ways -- just like meeting people through any other interest or hobby.
