What kind of music do all you people like???

[TheZilla 0]

I love this thread!

My fiance and I pretty much see eye-to-eye on music, with some exceptions. Like, he once owned a "HIM" album and I've never let him live it down [though, to be fair, he bought it during a hard break-up so maybe he was not thinking clearly, hehe]. I own a lot of George Michael CDs and it just makes him terribly ill.

Even though he's only 4 years younger than me, sometimes there's like this huge gap with music taste. He LOVES the type of music called 'Mash Ups" and I feel like an old crumudgeon going 'It's not MUSIC! It's just a bunch of NOISE! It's not ORIGINAL! What is this new fangled craziness you're playing me???". He, on the other hand, doesn't really know much about 'The Clash" or 'The Jam" and I'm like "Where the HECK have you been????".

My music taste is all over the map, I'll go from vintage Red Hot Chili Peppers to Billie Holiday in one sitting. My favorites are U2, RHCP, Fun Lovin' Criminals, G-Love & Special Sauce, Scissor Sisters, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Beck, The Beastie Boys, Blur, The Clash, Jamiroquai, and craploads more. My fiance is a big fan of NIN, Johnny Cash, Dresden Dolls, Phillip Glass, Yann Tiersen, and The Eels.

On the topic of music, what's "YOUR SONG" with your S.O.? Ours is 'Somewhere Beyond The Sea" by Bobby Darrin. We've got like 5 [i think everyone does! hehe] but that's the ONE.

LOL.

"The Chain" - Fleetwood Mac.

The lyrics are decidedly non-romantic. But on his first visit here, everytime we went anywhere in the car, it was played. Everytime.

So we decided - why mess with fate - and claimed it as our own.

A little of that Motown Magic, a bit of Rod Stewart, got Pink's latest and also brought Amy Winehouse, my taste varies depending on what mood i'm in lol

At our beach wedding, my flower girl/maid of honor walked down the aisle to song! I walked down to Ella Fitzgerald's "The Man I Love".

We danced to the Kinks 'Waterloo SUnset' since it's all about London & that's where we met!

We have some of the same tastes!!

Yah "our song" is not even a love song. It is more of a lost song....But the wedding band is going to learn it anyway!

Like a few other people round here, the whole reason we got talking in the first place was because we have similar taste in music. How on earth have I come to be marrying someone I 'met' through a random middle-of-the-night encounter on a music forum, discussing our shared fondness for My Bloody Valentine?! I forget that's how we started talking, now - it seems insane (and incredible) when I think about it!

Anyway... we both like the same kind of stuff, pretty much - our music tastes converge, even if they don't match up entirely! We both love indie-rocky-guitarry stuff, generally... and both love getting all nostalgic about various bands we both loved in the 90s. He's also constantly looking for new bands and introducing me to them - which is good, saves me the trouble of listening to loads of ####### in the hopes of finding the occasional gem! We do seem to love the same stuff, if I think something's amazing I can be pretty sure he'll agree, and vice-versa... the only stuff he loves that makes me think '#######?!?!?!' is the shouty-yelly ancient hardcore punk he adores, and which just sounds like a hideous noisy racket to me! It makes me feel like my own grandmother, or something, going 'how can you call this music? How can you like it? This is just people shouting!'

Ummm, specific bands? I dunno... ones we both love: the Afghan Whigs, Throwing Muses, My Bloody Valentine (as already mentioned!), Her Space Holiday, The Magnetic Fields... hmm, my mind has gone blank! Oh, he's obsessed with Husker Du and Bob Mould, and is disgusted that I love(d) the Jesus & Mary Chain (amongst other ancient throwbacky stuff - god, I feel old!) because he thinks they are (one of his many nominations for) The Worst Band Ever.

Um, rambling.. I will shut up!

Our wedding song was Highland Cathedral on the piano because we couldn't find a piper in Central Pennsylvania

But at our reception we looped Metallica and Alkaline Trio CD's (metallica before they sucked )

I've always liked country more than any other genre (blame my parents) and Dave's always been into all kinds, but mainly rock.

When we first met, he would text me lines from songs, which I'm sure was his way of getting me to listen to them. It worked! We now like some of the same music and made a deal that whoever's driving gets to choose the radio station.

Our song is Gerry Raferty - Right Down The Line. The words just mean so much to both of us.

OMG!!! The Jesus & Mary Chain!! Awe man, I still freakin' love "Come On" and I often play "Sometimes Always" on road trips. They're not the best band in the world but I still play 'em and I ain't shamed!! hehe.

God, nostalgia. I have 90s collections up the wahzoo [Even though I really don't think the 1990s should be considered 'nostagic' at all!]. One of my favorite things is to play 'Mmh mmh mmh mmh" by The Crash Test Dummies and lip synch it dramatically to horrified individuals around me. It's so terrible...it's GOOD.

EMF, James, Rancid, Dinosaur Jr., Alice In Chains, Pavement, Pulp, Soundgarden, Primus, The Petshop Boys, Spacehog, Kula Shaker, and soooo many more are in my repetoire. I refuse to feel old! Though, sometimes I do when I've heard teenagers referring to Green Day as 'Classic Punk". Yeeeesh.

country music plays on my radio only.

I LOVE NEARLY ALL THOSE BANDS!

When I was in college I was a DJ and The Petshop boys stuff always got thrown in... and who couldn't like Dinosaur JR. I haven't heard Spacehog in ages. Going to find it.

Hm, I love lots of those too. 'specially Dinosaur Jr. And Pulp. And Pavement... hmm, not listened to Pavement in ages!

And yeah, TheZilla - the JAMC definitely weren't the best band ever, but I think my boy's estimation of them as 'Worst Band Ever' is a bit harsh!! They seem to bring him out in hives... bizarrely, as he keeps sending me MP3s by new bands who sound like carbon copies of the Mary Chain - strange boy!

I know I am feeling very musically inclined to pull out all my old stuff!!

I don't want to go work either.

Annie came down the aisle to Highland Cathedral. We had a mix of everything for the reception
