I give my wife a lot of shit for loving the Cure, but then every female I've slept with in the past decade loves the Cure. I just moan along when she plays that stuff, and so she doesn't play it so much.
She had that classic "Sonic Youth was better in the '80s" attitude until I made her listen to all of NYC Ghost & Flowers and now it's one of her favorite albums, and the title track is probably her favorite song.
She actually used to play in Trail of Dead and yet has none of their albums because she agrees with me they're over-produced.
I can't get her into Sepultura, but what the hell. Kind of the same thing with most noise music, though oddly she owns a Merzbow album (never heard her listen to it in seven years though.)
She got me into Hood, which is totally cool. I'd never even heard of them before her.
We both lived in Olympia long enough that Unwound, Bikini Kill, and Karp are not only bands we've loved for years, but known for as long. Her first boyfriend was Scott from Karp, and they played at my 30th birthday party.
Overall our tastes are close enough to make me pretty happy with things. We even both sing some of the same Carpenters songs to the baby.
