Eff yeah, man. There's nothing more pervasive than "I like every kind of music.. (and then the inevitable caveat) Except I hate rap and country."

Which usually means "I like pop music."

piercehawkeye45 · 08-26-2007, 08:21 PM

People like that tend to avoid death metal as well...

queequeger · 08-26-2007, 08:46 PM

People like that don't know what they're missing.

Since nobody ever likes the kind of music I like, this is typically a non-issue.

one of the girls in the ofice found out that I like tenacious D. she's wanted me badly ever since. she even made me a copy of her Tenacious D disc. I seriously reevaluated my opinion of her at that point, too. i mean...what kind of a freak would want ME.....besides jinx.

But you treat Jinx better than anyone else, possibly even yourself.

What kind of music do you like Wolf?

manephelien · 08-27-2007, 06:47 AM

I have a very eclectic taste in music. I'm not too keen on hiphop, metal that's so heavy you can't make out the lyrics, free-form jazz and atonal music, but apart from that I'll listen to anything. Including country and yeah, some rap is okay.

So for me it depends on how tolerant the other person is. If it's someone who likes only pop or only classical or only opera and nothing else, chances are the person is too intolerant in other respects as well for me to bother with for very long. My "favorite band" changes frequently enough that I can't dislike someone for not liking my current favorite.

I can listen to Rammstein, followed by Rupert Holme's Pina Colada Song and not have my head explode.

The problem is not one particular type of music, but rather in the whiplash-inducing changes ...

Unpopular opinion: I hate that song. To paraphrase O Brother Where Art Thou:

(s)he: you was fixin' to cheat on me
(s)he: but it ended up being me!
(s)he: but you didn't know that at the time
(s)he: so I was a sleazy cheater until I DID know

Music taste, like anything else, is something two people can have in common. Naturally, the more you have in common, the more you connect with that person, at least on that particular level.

Most of my friends have a similar taste to mine. The differences are what I look forward to - expanding my taste as I am introduced to artists/genres/etc I otherwise would not have known about.

That being said, I once discontinued a relationship with someone for playing Britney Spears in my truck.

I like music that does that. I have some bands that will play really intense metal then break into this perfectly melodic part with really good singing, then right back to metal.

Ah, the bi-polar bands.

The joys of shuffle on iPod...one minute, I'll be listening to Bach, the next minute King Diamond.
