Doesn't really matter that much, though of course it's nice to share musical tastes with friends. For me, though, it's probably more important to share other things, such as cultural interests and worldview.

It is not important because music isn't the only thing you can have similar points of contact in relation with passions...

I think it is important. I only know two other people (in real life) who like prog, and they're my two best friends.

Not important, but I have plenty of friends into great music. And no one I know are into any really awful stuff, but some are just not very musicinterested. A person's music taste is obviously a part of their personality, so I can't imagine being a close friend with someone into just Nu-Metal.

It doesn't matter, because if I cared I wouldn't have many friends. I have converted a friend or two and became frustrated with a kid who just listens to the crappy pop radio stations, but it still doesn't matter.

It's quite important.
In my life very often the interest in music turned to friendship.

¿Reggaeton, perhaps?... |
Nah, I'm fine with raggae, R&B (I even like the Roots a bit), old school 80s-early 90s rap (when it was still kind of fresh), but screaming emo bands and hardcore new rap is just offensive to my ears. |
I like Reggae and I can tolerate R&B quite nicely, but reggaeton is a totaly different story. I can listen to it on parties and such, but 90% of the people in Puerto Rico (the 10% being old people, deaf people and people who like other genres preferably salsa and merengue *sigh*) listen to that stuff. Almost every car have reggaeton playing loud so others can hear the same thing over and over again... Enough of that for now. I really don't mind about my friends liking my music since only 2 of them enjoy what I listen to.

I actually have the most interesting conversations with friends about music. 
Some of my friends really like prog.
One loves King Crimson, Wobbler and likes Gentle Giant, Emerson, Lake And Palmer, Gargamel and Yes.
Another loves Opeth, Gentle Giant and Emerson, Lake And Palmer and likes Yes, Wobbler, King Crimson and The Flower Kings.
Another loves Opeth.
Two friends of mine (girls, I just want to say that because it is said that women don't like prog) listen to Prog.
One loves The Mars Volta, Sigur Ros and Muse and likes Porcupine Tree and Radiohead.
The other one loves Genesis and likes Yes, Emerson, Lake And Palmer and Gentle Giant...
And I know several people who like prog either, those guys listen to Radiohead, The Mars Volta, Pink Floyd, Yes etc...
