I mean I'm not a total prick but I dont allow mixing of our records and we each have our own HiFI in seperate ends of the house.
BUT if I hear the GooGooDolls Iris or Alanis any more I may be forced to move. In the reverse of this thread I am forbidden from playing Can anymore or she will leave. Share the experience of my pain

Beck

lately, Carla Bruni. regularly, Magnetic Fields, and lots of bands I formerly liked. You see, I go through records quickly - between my buying habits, downloading and reviewing for five magazines, records have a short shelf life with me these days (tho i always return to the great ones) - Lady Jessica tends to become obsessed with certain records, and plays them to death. Destroyer's last two fall into this category too. Can't handle it.

my gf listens to ja rule, blue, sisquo etc oh yeah and she hates stuff thats too 'weird', luckily the relationship extends beyond musical taste.

I remember meeting my wife for the first time and of course the subject of music came up and she asked me "do you like Collective soul" and I was unable to reply truthfully so I said "yeah luv em"
And so now the CD is always near because we BOTH like it. "well dear YOU like collective soul we can take that on the 4Hr trip to Florida..." er YAY!

Fear of listening to Collective Soul is what keeps me honest with my girlfriend.

BUT if I hear the GooGooDolls Iris

You too, huh?

Same for Edwin McCain's "I'll Be."

We actually have the opposite problem - I can't think of anything offhand that she listens to that I actively hate (she loves a lot of things I'm indifferent to or wouldn't go out of my way to listen to, but nothing I'd ordinarily change the channel on), but she mocks me for liking Avril Lavigne, and I sometimes get strange glances when Winamp hits one of the bootlegs/mashups on my playlist --

"Isn't that Justin Timberlake?"
"Yeah, but ... just the vocals, see, the rest is, um, Metallica ..."
"Isn't that Justin Timberlake?"
"Right, but -- but see, that's 'Enter Sandman' right there, it's kind of funn--"
"ISN'T THAT JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE?"
"Can we skip to the part where we have sex now?"

Edwin McCain who is he? she likes him too! wanted to drag me to the HoB to see him live. I took an extra shift at work instead.

tori amos, the frames, among others...

Enya.

I don't have a wife OR a girlfriend. But can I bitch about the strange things that Handsome Soundartist likes to play me? I never really wanted to discover the odd joys of Radio Three...

― kate, Monday, 7 April 2003 08:45 (twenty-two years ago)

The Dixie Chicks

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 7 April 2003 08:53 (twenty-two years ago)

i support the playing of the dixie chicks*

* = in principle

See, I don't mind when he spends hours listening to the mains hum of the National Grid, and he likes to listen to radio static at night. That I find rather endearing. But I draw the line at weirdy beardy experimental Norwegian Free Jazz Speed-Folk!

― kate, Monday, 7 April 2003 09:11 (twenty-two years ago)

i've endured Linkin Park, P.O.D., Good Charlotte and King Adora over the years - truly our love is strong

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 7 April 2003 09:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Good god, stevem, I forgot about King Adora - they are terrible!

I have heard so much more Belle & Sebastian then I ever wanted.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 7 April 2003 20:52 (twenty-two years ago)

hhmmm, well, she knows what I hate so when she wants to push my buttons it's usually good ol' AM radio classic rawk: Rush, AC/DC (their only good song is Back in Black - it's true!), Boston, Yes, Foreigner, uhm... Air Supply.

Fortunately, we share a mutual love of hip-hop, metal, new wave, especially funk, lots of other stuff.

anal cunt.

― marquis de suave, Tuesday, 8 April 2003 08:25 (twenty-two years ago)

My wife doesn't listen to music, that torments me.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

"their only good song is Back in Black - it's true." That statement is more untrue than you can ever imagine.

New here, can't help but reply. No girlfriend, wife -just husband. He has decided that all music has been "done" -whatever that means. I keep my secret stash of Rush, Niko Case, Stan Getz etc in the '87 Bronco with the most excellent sound system to keep me sane on my drive to work and back. Life w/o music -NEVER!

― Neecee, Tuesday, 8 April 2003 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

The girl I've been dating for the past nine months, she doesn't really torment me with anything. She likes things that I don't, but since we usually drive in my car I get to pick the music and the like. Though from time to time, I've been bombarded with Ani Difranco, Weezer, Belle & Sebastian and The Moldy Peaches.

Ex's of mine, though.. they've had awful taste. Nine Inch Nails, The Bloodhound Gang, The Sex Pistols, NOFX, Save Ferris... bleaghh.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Here is a completely perverse thing: Edwin McCain is married to my cousin in South Carolina. I've never met him, and I rarely see my cousin, but it sure is odd.

― Sasha Frere-Jones (Sasha Frere-Jones), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

The fuckin' Grateful Dead.

― matt riedl (veal), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

my sympathys to matt riedl (god bless you bro)
