My ex loved Tesla and Rush, I dislike Tesla and want to strangle a kitten upon the sound of the head singer of Rush opening his mouth.
I had a girlfriend that loved this ska band called The Toasters…I hated them with a passion…boring as shit, vacuous garbage.
Michael Bolton, although thankfully she doesn’t play anything of his when I’m around.
Thankfully her devotion to kitty rescue makes her too busy to hear anything by Justin Beeper. ;-p
Thankfully my lady doesn’t listen to rap or hip hop, so we’re good to go.
The SO likes classical music, and I enjoy it, despite being clueless to recognizing most of it. The poor guy…he occasionally has to put up with my preference for stuff from the ‘80s. Even worse, he has work to piped in cheesy pop music. How he has done it all of these years without going mad is a miracle.
@Pied_Pfeffer The 80’s music is far more superior than anything Beethoven, Liszt, Bach and Mozart ever created! Hmph! Lol.
( I mean we are talking about Spandau Ballet here, geez. )
I had a girlfriend who liked Phish and other such jam bands. Thankfully, I could tune them out when I was sober. Listening to that crap when I’m not sober isn’t as pretty of a picture though.
@Jude ack, Green Day makes my ears bleed.
He loves the cheesiest of the cheesiest 80s music, like Richard Marx. Where ever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you. That’s actually not as bad as some of the other answers in this thread. One ex was obsessed with “Shimmer” by Fuel and sang it like he was pouring out his soul, every time he had a few drinks. XD
Hubby—likes- is obsessed with a local band called Motorpsycho and I can’t stand them.
He likes to listen to old-school hardcore stuff sometimes, and I just can’t get into it.
Other than that, we’re pretty musically compatible, which makes sense because we met through the local punk scene.
What she does in her own time, on her MP3 or in her car is her business and I don’t pry! When there is music to be played I own the play button! :)
I like Coldplay, Greenday and Snow Patrol…
People don’t like Pink Floyd? Snow Patrol? Coldplay? what is this world coming too?!
Kate Bush, whose lyrics I like, has that horrible screechy high voice, oh lordy turn it off !!
Not really. My partner is one of those weird people that aren’t into music much at all, lol. I listen to enough for both of us I guess.
Lol, this is actually the only song that she loves – Rhythm of the Night by DeBarge.
There used to be a band here called “Skyhooks”. They were a sort of 1970s glamour rock band. I think their music is shite and my husband does recognise the music isn’t great but the band has nostalgic value for him. This is not representative of his normal music taste (thank god) Link
Any one of a number of modern “heavy metal” bands, which have more shouting and screaming than actual singing. The names that come to mind are Cradle of Filth, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot. Cant remember any more but I hate them. If they played only instrumentals, with no (so-called) “singing”, I’d probably like them.
My wife loves musicals… Wicked, Les Mis, Phantom. Ugggh!
We have a nice arrangement. She doesn’t bring me to musicals, and I don’t bring her to Horrorpops or Nashville Pussy shows.
Tom Jones
It’s Not Unusual….......the song I like, Tom Jones I do not.
I can’t think of a particular band/artist but he likes Jazz and I can’t like Jazz no matter how hard I try. I just don’t get it.
