Man's Constant Battle With Girlfriends Devoid Of Music Taste
 

apologies for the moderately sexist remark, but you bitches do not have a clue.

On the contrary, we have musical discussions at length & it turns us on.

Dudes have bad taste too. But I'm in complete agreement with ya -- I went through about six girlfriends whose closest aspirations to real music was Say Anything. Fack.

Psh.

My current girlfriend listens to everything I do.

There are exceptions, of course, but we listen to enough of the same stuff, while introducing each other to new stuff every so often, to keep us happy in that aspect.

I'm lucky I've never had this problem. Though thats because I'm en elitist douche who refuses to date someone who doesn't at least find my tastes listenable. Its probably valid on my behalf though as I'm a musician and it is the career I'm hoping for.

My last boyfriend listened to New Found Glory.

Thread is bull**** D:

My missus' hates virtually everything that I listen to. We have been together sixteen years so your argument is redundant really.

He was a keeper.

Sexism kills brain cells. If you're going to damage your brain, at least use alcohol. More fun.

I just enforce it on them anyway.

But not The Fall , I would like sex once before they bugger off.

What, no post-punk female afficionados in Britain this time of year?

I'm sure there are but music taste isn't high on my agenda.

I'm not going to poke some ugly troglodyte just because she likes The Slits.

Not even a sympathy shag?

I'll lend her a Delta 5 album & cop off with her mate

He also insisted Bayside was better than Elliott Smith, such an idiot.

...and make the trog watch too you heartless man you :D

He's sounding more and more like my kind of guy. Do you still have his number?

All my girlfriends didn't have taste apart from my last one, who i hit it off with due to her noticing my Smiths shirt.
She did actually have damn fine taste but she was the thickest one of them all. My conclusion is to just grin and bare it.

Haha.
I'm fat, but I always end up with skinny chicks.

I had a girlfriend that thought the Jonas Brothers wrote better songs than the Smiths.

The girl I'm with now loves the Jonas brother, is excited about the New Kids on the Block's new album and thinks Carrie Underwood is the greatest thing since Gary Allen. The last girl I was with believed the Usher and Mariah Carey are the greatest R&B singers of all time. 'Nuff said.

Of course bad musical taste isn't restricted only to girlfriends. Most the guys I know have horrible taste in music. I have to endure Soulja boy, 3 doors down, nickelback, linkin park and staind. You know the type of music for people who don't really like music. Guys with bad taste in music are usually the ones blasting their garbage from ****ty car stereos and insisting that you listen to the new Lil Wayne album. Guys force trash down your throat way more than the girls do.

but...but...but...joy division are possibly a million times better than slayer!
what they have one tuneless thrash record thats worth listening to and is no longer relevant.


ahhhh i know this
last three girlfriends
3. all the worst bits of ed banger records
2. ok... too much in the way of conor oberst and arcade fire for me...no knowledge of old music
1. (present and hopefully future)
loves all that horrible nu folk like jose gonzalez
but she likes most and has good taste in classical(shes a flautist)
but on the whole not great

as a side note: she dont like joy division or slayer!

Where are you finding these girls? All my female friends have excellent taste. It's not like a one in a million situation..

They weren't that good. I'll take Crocodiles or Psychocandy over their two ****ty records any day.

Here here! Heck, I'll take Automatic and Porcupine over either Joy Division record.

@ Alex
Yeh that sums up about how I felt, srsly we even got so into it we were comparing lyrics, I showed her "There is a Light that Never goes out" she'd be like 'that doesnt even rhyme'.



Also,
The words 'Joy Division' and 'shit' should never be in the same sentence

^^^ FAIL

Joy Division shit on Interpol

I actually prefer Interpol to Joy Division.


(I'll put on my coat and head out now).

Well someone has to.

Doesnt need to be said everyone knows that. Interpol sounds like JD raping the Strokes.

...in a good way.

I want to see someone named Big Bubba raping The strokes

I do love Interpol's first album though, 'Stella was a Diver and She was always down' is my fav. Imagine my shock when I found out it was about oral sex.

Corr it's all coming out tonight...

I'll be the first to say that Antics was awful (two good songs, at best) and that what I've heard from the new album isn't any better. But Turn On The Bright Lights is wonderful.

Stella's probably my second favorite after Leif Ericson. I really love that song for some reason.

I thought AC/DC's Sink The Pink was about Snooker

I think Interpol's lyrics are less obvious. :\

I dont have any of their other albums but from what I heard they arent worth the listen. Also Obstacle 1 is great, the reason I bought the album actually. :D
