I often express how I feel with music, so the range has to be fairly large...however, if the person doesn't know of the artist I like, it could be hard to communicate that feeling...
Who would be an artist l might not know whom you like?
@Sticks48 It is more about being so in touch with the music scene that you can easily recall music that fits the mood...if you only know songs from one era or one genre, you are limited...if you don't listen to new music, you can't select songs that might speak better for you in a plainer way...people into music can pick out songs to share because they recall an appropriate artist or title...
@thinktwice Agree. My tastes run from the big band era thru the 80's. After the 80's popular music ( country and pop ) hasn't done much for me. I like country, rock, pop, jazz, blues, latin, and reggae.
@Sticks48 So then you have a wide range...
@thinktwice l will try to dance to whatever tune you choose. ?
I have utterly appalling taste in music. I wouldn't expect anyone with a modicum of style to share it. Just let me drag my aging carcass to a frenzied mosh pit once in a while, and I'll be a happy camper.
Same. Selfshaming music.
@PalacinkyPDX OK...
Nasenbluten
Cattle Decapitation
The Dillinger Escape Plan
The Birthday Party
Squarepusher
Killing Joke
Syndicate
The Dead Kennedys
Sadus, Entombed, Carcass, Morbid Angel and a whole pile of other classic 90's death metal
Etc.
I have a penchant for noisy, jagged, shouty stuff. It's definitely not all I listen to, but it does get my blood pumping.
If musical tastes had to align in addition to political persuasion, religious beliefs, animal rights beliefs, viewing habits, sexual proclivities, geography, and the rest, we'd all be single.
Maybe it's just about chemistry and finding the person who makes you feel exuberant. I want the one who makes me burst forth with enthusiasm.
@IIHEATHENII Thank you very much!
Dan and I are just discovering what we like in common.
I wasn't aware of this
Like anything else in a relationship, similarity's are good for bonding, separations are fine and sometimes healthy unless you hold them dear to your heart.
Can't stand misogynist rap, whiny country music or screaming guitars.
Instead I love mellow jazz, blues and some classical music. As a musician, I prefer ballads in a minor key.
For me it’s less the genre of the music but more individual songs whatever the genre. So I have quite an eclectic music collection with random songs most people probably have never heard of. It’s not likely that I wouldn’t like at least some of the music the other person listens to. A friend of mine has been trying to get me to like the heavy metal bands he loves. Granted most of them I couldn’t listen to for more than a minute. But one I just fell in love with and I’ve become obsessed with their music.
Music is what makes life bearable. It doesn't matter what genre. But if you only listen to top 40 shit, stop for a month and dig on some Frank Zappa
I am mostly open to anything, as long as it is music. I just can't stand most rap or that techno garbage
I’m perfectly willing to laugh go at someone else’s musical taste.
Good to have some common ground but I also like some strange stuff that is not a requirement
I could be wrong, but in my experience with people, it seems to me that a similar taste in music is indicative of similar ways of relating to the world and a generally more chance at compatibility.
