I like loads of different types of music but i prefer to be with someone who likes the more alternative side

it dont bother me if im with someone and they bring a few cds of there own to chillout with,all i have to do is press the eject button and voila another beer mat

I don't think its important that my 'perfect match' likes the same music artists as me but (as nasty as this probably sounds) Id really struggle to tolerate someone who was into dance, r'n'b or rap music.

Back to the original question - perhaps it depends on how big a part of your life music is?

My last girlfriend had the same impeccable taste in obscure music as I do, I sure miss that side of things I rarely meet anyone who has even heard of most of the bands/music I play or go to hear live.

In general, I'm afraid that I might find someone who was obsessesed with commercial or popular music very boring, taste in music is a window to other rooms in their life. But then again, others would think the same about my choice of music.

It would be nice i guess, not essential but would be nice to go to gigs together that you both would enjoy. now...when are blur touring?
