One of my friends likes a lot of ska, which is fine, another likes a lot of what I introduced him to, Joy Division, Dinosaur Jr, and he also likes a lot of Smashing Pumpkins. Then another is into grunge and noise rock, which is pretty sweet, he's usually listening to Scratch Acid or Jesus Lizard or Big Black or something in that vein.

And then there's my brother who has extremely similar taste to me except that he his is a bit looser, especially when it comes to indie.

I have a mate who really likes his hiphop, well he says he does but doesn't really delve too deeply into it. His girlfriend likes stuff like High School Musical and other pop stuff. Another mate likes his grunge and general rock, Nirvana, Floyd, Smashing Pumpkins, Wolfmother. Another mate likes alsorts from Michael Jackson to Metallica to Crazy Frog...(yeah he stumps me on that one too).

None of my friends really know or care to much for my stuff, but I always get a "woah, who the fuck is this?" out of them:)

i usually let them pick the cd. this works out pretty well since i like all the cds i own.

I just tell them, well you like them I don't. I wouldn't listen to something I didn't like in my car just because someone else wanted to.

Exactly. But recently my cousin bought "Now 23" *shudder* and borrowed my car when she came to pick me up and take me home..it was loud and the windows were down and there were people outside...I got embarassed..and asked her to turn it down..she said "why cause its not goth sh*it?"

WTF does that mean?
