I also own lots by Charlie "Bird" Parker, 'Trane, Bill Evans, Gil Evans, Chick Corea, Jaco Pastorius, Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin and a lot more. I would say I own more than 250 jazz and jazz fusion albums. | |

Posted: 6/29/2007 4:22:00 PM | | I was practically driven away from a workplace many years ago because of an inconsiderate coworker blasting her loud '80s dance-pop noise. It drove me crazy--it's the only kind of music I truly dislike. Fortunately that was years ago and it was just a summer job. It wasn't like I knew I would be working there for a long time. | |

Posted: 7/1/2007 5:56:22 PM | funny you should mention this... i did make my ex-husband quite angry when Ok Computer came out. this CD was the only thing i listend to for literally one whole year. i played it over and over again. sometimes, even repeating the same song maybe thirty times in a row. for some reason i tend to do this with movies as well. i have sometimes will watch the same movie every night for a month straight. don't know why, but perhaps this is why my ex-husband is now my ex-husband.

Posted: 7/13/2007 9:00:33 PM | I play a CD boom box at my job, and one of my co-workers gets unusually "bugged out" by the synthesizer intro to "Baba O'Riley". She said "I can't listen to that. I'll have nightmares!".
I'm hoping someone will write a great song that will frighten away anyone I don't want to be near. | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 9:16:37 AM | Music's a lovely thing. Neighbor's aren't. I can't turn up a Marshall amp to 10 and play some loud blues, nor can I throw some Stones on the record player and crank it, because it disturbs my neighbors and interrupts them from watching violence, sex, drug use, and "celebrities" on TV. I don't understand how such a lovely thing can be so frowned upon.
That said, I'm sure there's not too many women who would rather hear old blues recordings from the 1930s over and over and over and over again, Aerosmith's "Rocks" incessantly, or a White Stripes mix tape 37 times a day. Which is fine & dandy. The only time music starts getting me cranky is when my co-pilot starts to fiddle with the radio dial. I'm not a big fan of radio, and it's ruined a LOT of music for me, because it's the same thing day in and day out and very rare they throw in any variety or a track I haven't heard in ages. Guaranteed, at least once every two hours on the local rock stations, you're going to hear Van Halen, Ozzy, Pink Floyd, a mushy Zeppelin song or "Stairway to Heaven", "Freebird" or "Sweet Home Alabama," Bon Jovi, repeat. The classic rock stations, they'll throw in Styx and Journey (ick). I'm not trying to put down anybody; I mean, they've all gotten further than I will, and I respect anybody with the ability to write and perform songs, but good god, man. Overkill (not the band) is not good.
I prefer hearing what radio doesn't play, so I just stick with good old public radio, where they're not afraid to throw on an old, unknown swing number in right along side with live Jimi Hendrix and Latin jazz.
I don't think I've driven anybody away with my musical tastes-of course there's some compromise there-I'm not gonna say "Oh, well you don't like Buckcherry so I'm not going to date you." or anything, but for the love of god, just keep the fingers off the commercial radio.  | |

Posted: 7/17/2007 2:25:31 PM | I don't really like to date people who aren't into metal...but then, I don't usually get along all that great with other metalheads either.  It's usually outgoing guys who are overly optimistic though. I'll never understand why overly happy people even listen to metal. I tend to listen to music I can relate to, but who knows-- maybe I'm the only one who does that. | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 9:06:14 AM | | These Christian priest dudes, well, they had move in thehouse next to mine, and they always came over trying to convert me. They were always pissing me off, one time I even threatened them..... subtley.... they were on my porch, and I was all like "I have a baseball bat, want to see it? It makes things go flying pretty far." they suddenly got the picture. They still didn't leave, so I put in some Manson, into my cd player, cranked it up as loud as possible. Apparently, they despised Marilyn Manson, because they started packing right then, and there...... IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! I owe one to good ol' Manson, now. | |

Posted: 7/20/2007 3:36:03 AM | | There is no such thing as bad music, just music that you'd rather not listen to. If it makes somebody else happy, it's good music. That being said, just because you think it's great, doesn't give you the right to crank it up! I hate to go to a park when some moron is blowing out his speakers. People go to the park to get away from all the noise of the city, not to listen to you. | |

Posted: 7/20/2007 7:10:50 PM | | Ya, I play and like jazz and progressive rock, so I just keep that to myself. I figure it's like work, I try not to discuss particulars about work too much. If she likes my music great but I don't push it. | |

Posted: 7/21/2007 12:20:11 PM | Try being into progressive death metal. It drives most people away before they've even heard a single song you're into .
Again, it might not be the style of music you like listening to that's driving people away, (although I'm sure ALOT of people don't want to listen to "the world is a great big sewer" type lyrics.) but it's probably the mind-melting volume that you metal-heads like listening it to. Also, I got kind of a kick out of what tripdaily said about how his wife hated Frank Zappa, because mine did too. Also Peter Gabriel. What annoys people about Zappa is that they take him seriously. I'll bet Frank was laughing about that all the way to his grave. | |

Posted: 7/22/2007 7:37:15 PM | I guess my question would be this??
Why get involved with anyone who isn't into the same or atleast similar musical styles. I've tried....I've failed! Especially if music is your life and you already have a very insatiable bond with it that is just going to make most individuals jealous to begin with. Look, let's face it.....Iron Maiden doesn't mix with Jay-Z, if your that different, it isn't going to last too long and quite honestly, you will be better off for it!!! | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 1:53:56 AM | No, but the reverse is usually true. They are very attracted by my music and I am at times repelled by theirs and their taste....
Sounds snobby, but its not - just a part of my blessing and my curse in who I am in the world of music.
...Now I did say curse also, so please don't gang up on me now!...:-) This is not about who is right. It's just that yes, I have been driven away by other people's taste in music. | |
