I don't speak music outside of my family. And they have hard times with the stuff I'm into. So, imagine with the women... Oh, wait, there was this metalhead girl who also enjoyed Stockhausen... Oh, wait, she was lesbian...

I once said that I liked Genesis and the answer was "Oh, that's absolute
 ".That very same day I noticed that my bicycle back tire was flat. No hole, but the valve was open. Hmmm... |

Girl: "What kind of music do you listen to?"
Me:"I like that music from that guy, sh*t what's his name? You know... he was on Letterman a while ago.. ah wait Rob something... Robert... you know... help me here!?" Girl: "sorry, i don't watch Letterman, he annoys me. Are you talking about Robert Fripp by any chance? Because I don't think he has ever been on Letterman..." Me: "Who the hell is Robert Fripp?" Girl: "Oh, excuse me, i was under the impression that you were searching for something witty to say to my question, and assumed you listened to strange music (progressive rock), therefor assuming you meant Robert Fripp when you said 'Rob', no? He is a master of progressive rock guitar playing..." Me: "Doesn't ring a bell... wait, was I thinking of Rober Plant? no... not him... hmmm, still can't remember" Girl: "I don't care much for the music of Led Zeppelin anyways, but you should listen to some Fripp..." *GIRL HANDS ME KING CRIMSON - RED* Me: I'll give this a listen, thanks *Boy goes home, puts it on, cuz' he has nothing else to do...* Me (on the phone): Hello is this Suzan (the girl)? Girl: Yes, it is, good evening Me: Marry Me! ======================================================================== hardly a one liner, but this COULD happen. Note: The girl is more into prog than the boy, I thought this would be a good turn on the sexism :) |

No. The stuff in the charts isn't good enough at pushing murder, drugs, free sex and suicide.  |

My tastes seem to be that of an average white male with bipolar depression and a midlife crisis - which is partially true anyhow. I actually once said something to this effect, but the girl wasn't sure whether I was kidding or not. Then again, neither was I.

Are you asking for some chewing gum or is this an 80 year old lady that has lost all of her teeth, thus leaving her with only gum and you are asking for a gumjob? |

I've come across a few that not only like it, but also play it (Rob Halford rings a bell?) As for the topic of this thread: "Anything you can't find at Free Record Shop, because they have no basement" |

I used to drink in a gay-orientated pub and they listened mostly to cheesy pop. I know a few gay men who like metal too, mind you. Plus one of the biggest VdGG fans on P.A. is gay. Edited by James - January 24 2009 at 12:02 |

This from the guy who was worried about being sexist?
 Jeez, I have a lot of gay male friends and none of them like either.

Nope. Melissa is most definitely a girl. So is Cleo (I forget her P.A. name) And many of the guys here are married (to a female) and have children (of their own). Many are also in long-term relationships (with females). There's a few gay men on here but I find that gay men usually like Abba or Disco music. |

Nobody I know has heard of Magma though... not one.
Most people know one Pink Floyd song. Not that I am that into PF, mind you. I have very few bands that I would say people have heard of... except maybe Opeth and Muse. |

I usually start with band names that most everyone has heard of. Then I move on to slightly obscure metal and avant-garde bands to confuse people.
 Oh, and mentioning Magma is a great way to usually change the topic.  |

I'm just not funny, so I didn't bother writing an actual response for this thread... and so far, I've only counted 3 regular female members, so I don't think "sexist" applies here.
As far as I can tell, this place actually could very well be an all gay male forum...

You'd be surprised... A girl asked me that same question and I said: Oh, lots of stuff that you've probably never heard of... Try me... Uh oh! I also mentioned I liked some Japanese stuff, so I had to reel off a list of bands... she nodded and said she'd heard of some of them. I did once get a girl listening to some Porcupine Tree that'd I bought the same day I'd bumped into her (she was a friend of mine before anyhow) and well... she actually got to hear some of Deadwing before I did. Oh and she liked it. I may give her my copy... because Deadwing is just... erm, not my thing. Anyhow, to answer the question: Girl: so what sort of music do you like? Me: oh, a mix of stuff, mostly avant-garde and jazzy and a little bit of metal; but mostly stuff you've never heard of Girl: oh right *puzzled look on her face*; any bands I may have heard of? Me: Opeth Girl: Oh I like them! That usually works.  Addendum: Or, like Pat and some others: Girl: so what music do you like? Me: Theusz Hamtaahk mmmmmm Theusz Hamtaahk mmmmmmmmmmmmm Theusz Hamtaahk! Girl: you're weird... Me: Da Zeuhl Wortz Mekanik! Girl: oh dear... Final edit: the premise of this thread is sexist... a girl who loves prog may be asked what music they like from a guy too. Or perhaps you're gay, of course.Edited by James - January 24 2009 at 10:45 |

 Sounds more like a pick up line to me. Bound to get you a flattered laughter from whichever girl you try it on, I'm sure. |
