My wife loves 30's and 40's big band and swing. I've actually started developing a taste for it. There was some surprisingly racy stuff back then.

Oh, that sucks. Someone like you deserve a girl to love him. But maybe your tastes in music are too demanding ? I know that when I was looking for girl, I was extremely demanding, but I was lucky. In a nutshell, she loves me, loves Prog, read sci-fi books, sometimes play games & can handle computer well, looks good to me, doesn't smoke, do drugs, & doesn't hang out with friends all the time. Perfect. |
Contrary to popular belief, I do listen to non-ZART/non-prog stuff.  I just haven't found the right person yet, when something's meant to happen it will.

Perhaps the prog of it's day. I can appreciate that stuff although the closest I have come to it in my collection is Birth Of The Cool. On second thought maybe classical was the prog of it's day.

My lovely missus very kindly puts up with whatever I happen to be playing, and she enjoys quite a bit of it now. At the moment, she especially likes IQ, The Decemberists, and Oldfield. She does, though, unfortunately draw the line at H era Marillion. Years of attempts to educate have fallen on deaf ears

My girlfriend's favourite is British indie/punk band, The Enemy. I am not very approve, to be honest.

6 years ago (Marty 16 years), I wouldn't mind girl stating that she listens "everything", or "what's on radio" - pop stations. Now (Marty about 22), I won't be able to be with such a girl.
Am I too picky ?
Contrary popular belief, you got me here Jon
EDIT: + To learn her Avant, I at first have to learn Avant myself. It's a long way.

Its easier to say what she dont like since like me she likes almost everything, but she likes alot of stuff i have never heard and i like some stuff she never heard so we have alot to share, but i know she hate Iron maiden and most 80s metal, other then that she likes all good music, but she thinks i listen a bit to much to PH and VDGG.

My wife enjoys Edna Swap and Bonnie Raitt which is fine by me. I don't bother playing the music I used to, it's just so retarded to think that the idea of actually putting on Art Zoyd in a Country & Western town like mine would be worthy or proper. What's the point of exposing myself? If she takes the kids to North Jersey, she gives me a gift. A night alone with one of my freaky friends, plenty of wine and choices for mind expansion, and Popol Vuh, Univers Zero, Frank Zappa, Guru, Guru, or whatever I desire. It's not as exciting as it sounds but it sure beats an evening at Cowtown rodeo. As I've said one million times over, where I live one must climb a telephone pole to answer their incoming phone calls. Yeah,....Eddie Albert lives here in spirit. It's their deal not mine. I still remain behind closed doors listening to Krautrock wondering if in Germany people are alien to this extreme? I doubt it. But then again, it could be the old "Grass is not so Greener on the other side situation" right?
Like the time I met a prog fan from Germany at Nearfest. I was really excited to even meet anyone from Germany and like a fool, I asked him if he liked Amon Duul II, Guru, Guru, and Eloy and his response was "Well, all of those bands are in a box"....I said....In a Box? He said...Yes, people in Germany today think of bands like that as being in a box. It was then, upon arriving home that night, that I packed all my prog cd's into boxes and stored them in a closet on the 2nd floor. I needed to do it anyway for their safety but, I also did it for a kind of sick sarcastic humourous reason as a reaction to what he said. It's like I've told you all before.....when you eat, later there is an end product. That's nature's way of saying F-YOU. or a new piece of gum with tasty flavor is popped into your mouth and then later it loses it's flavor becoming mulch.....Again, that is nature's way of saying F-CK YOU! It's easier to believe that these things in life happen for no apparent reason. The turmoil is not worthy and therefore the emotionally charged reaction is meaningless. I don't want to hurt you and you should not go the distance either. That is how I feel about the difference in people's musical taste.
