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...

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.

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.

I love all kinds of music. The problem with me is that I'm too open and know too many genres. Some people have music that will make mu ears hurt. Literally.

If it is truly "music", I'm sure I'll love it. Whatever it is. I just hope they are open minded as well.

Dan and I are just discovering what we like in common.

I feel like there should be one genre we can both agree on, or long car rides will be unbearable

It's nice but not necessary. I listen to all types of things and very open.

At work I have listened to whatever I want all day long for decades (used to be cassette tapes)--always with earphones -- though they were really sweat inducing long ago. We we drive long distance, we switch every 2 to 3 hours. Whoever is driving chooses the music. I can find something to appreciate is most genres. My ex wife listened to music when she was cooking. Music is one of the spices of life.

My partner loves music from the 60s and he & Sirius warble along every time he's in the car. I listen to the local classical station. It's refreshing for me to ride with him and I think he doesn't mind my music, either. No biggie.

Well...unless he wanted to listen to jazz all the time....

What lover dumps love for vinyl or cd's

I don't mind most types of music. I have to be in the right mood for rap and hip hop. I am definitely against country music all the way though.

I can tolerate just about anything as long as it's not blaringly loud, I don't even want to hear music I like being played too loud. I hate pubs and clubs etc where the music is blaring over a conversation. I want it in the background!

If that was the case I’d be screwed. I have somewhat unconventional taste in music for someone my age.

Not going to lie. But for me music is really important. We have to be a little similar or I will go insane. That being said I am generally very open to new sounds.

With so much out there now just let me have my things and don't blast ghetto rap or modern "country".
Was very spoiled in last relationship with all the overlap in taste. Had never had that before and don't expect it again.
Even then there were some things we couldn't stand that the other liked, but yeah, lots in common & it was a huge plus. But again, no longer a pre requisite.
Just know I've got an addiction to a certain artist been playing in a loop for 3 years now. Spend any time with me at all and you'll know who HEFTY/darker sounds is.

I think it can definite help to love the same type of music. Turning each other on to different music is also cool.

Honestly I'm very easy going so I'm good with just about every genre

It's great if we like the same music, but I have been in relationships that opened me up to new music. Actually my first long term relationship introduced me to a lot of new stuff that I otherwise wouldn't have experienced. That's the great thing about relationships. If you have a foundation of beliefs in common then each person can introduce miscellaneous things into the relationship that might take hold and open up new experiences for both people.

well, i guess it's not as important as i thought under my particular circumstances because he won't keep his hearings aids on. if he were a hearing person and he played marie osmond all day long i'd be in hell. our tastes do intersect -- 100 percent where i've introduced him to stuff. stuff he already liked... not so much.

Christian, rap (or hip hop or whatever it's called), and crying in your beer country are deal killers.
I will not listen nor tolerate hearing those, anything else is open (yes, even opera.).
Call me close minded, I know what I like or can bear.

Music soothes the Savage Beast. I prefer jazz and my husband preferred country. We both learned to like new kinds of music. It's called growing.

It depends, mostly on how loud she needs the music of her choice to be.

I can deal with any music my SO likes, no problem. But if you can't do chores without shaking the house with Florida Georgia Line just let me leave before I kill one or both of us.

I'm a musician so I think it's a little more important to me. Partially that's because I'll hear things that the average person wouldn't notice, so I'm a bit more critical about what's good or not (in my personal opinion).

The only thing that matters to me is chemistry
Everything else is just unimportant fodder
