The one piece of music you love that your partner hates..?

kind of blue was my 2nd intro to jazz after Mingus Ah Um..took me 50 years to even get an appreciation of it so got some catching up to do..Will check out your Bill recommendation..Thank you Coster

 

My wife has a problem with some of my AC/DC, Angel City, Priest, Bob Mould and Willie and Neil's voices....but she's a good sport about it.

 

My wife doesn't like The Beatles starting with songs on "Revolver" and continuing to the end of their career.
She likes the Rock and Roll Beatles but the Pop Beatles, Sgt. Pepper on, the drug and political songs don't
work for her. Why did she marry me? lol
My wife doesn't like vocalist, as she calls them, she likes singers.
So, she doesn't like:
Bob Dylan (his voice isn't musical)
Neil Young (he whines)
Tom Waits (he just growls)
Grateful Dead (vocal not musical)
Mick Jagger (can't sustain a tone)

I could list more but I don't want to, these guys are so successful, criticism has no effect on their career.

OH! I forgot... she can't stand Stevie Nicks voice either.
I guess we are lucky to find someone to put up with us...

 

just bought my very first Tom Waits vinyl...Closing Time ...absolutely love it ..kicking myself that I've gone so many years without it....Weird how an album touches your very soul at times...x

 

Pantera and Mastodon are not particularly well regarded in my household but when they need to be played they'll be played and that's life.

 

Same. Seems to be common. Men love it, women hate it.

Also Joe Jackson “Steppin Out”.

 

All below incl sub categories
- Heavy Metal
- Prog
- Classic Rock (with the exceptions The Clash & David Bowie)

WHAT DOES SHE DO LIKE LIKE THEN?
- The Cure (when I imagine myself trying to sit through "Disintegration" a second time during my lifetime, it will equal total depression)
- Edith Piaf

"opposites attract, as paula abdul once mimed according to then current songwriter's instructions"

 

what album is that , Tom ??

 

I'll check it out Liam, Always good to know what someone loves, even when they know their better half- hates it..

 

"Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" but I married her anyway.

 

BLACK OAK ARKANSAS (left speechless...look of extreme anguish)

LOU REED (ugly music)

 

This isn't about my wife but rather an old girlfriend who didn't like any music except music she could dance to in clubs.She was a looker to be sure but....

 

There would be so much that the Mrs doesn't like, but I'll give her kudos for the things she does like.

Dislikes
Beefheart
King Crimson
most Zappa
Metal (but I have gotten her to appreciate Iron Maiden, Dickinson's voice won her over)

Likes
Dylan
Costello
Bowie

She likes a lot of stuff, but the more anti-social stuff, as listed above, isn't her thing, and that's cool.

 

Just seen that the guy who wrote 'straight up' was the son of the lyricist for 'hound dog' -elvis presley..

 

I have an album by The Roots that she can't stand. Usually she at least puts up with most of what I listen to without saying anything.

 

Me too and I m an all consuming Bowie fan


Music in general
20+ years Divorced so I'll use my son
He detests Steely Dan

Funny thing was he heard Dirty Work with me in the car
Loved it - asked who it was

Yeah it's a David Palmer lead vocal

Evidently Fagen's voice but not his genius doesn't register with him

 

my husband HATES Yoko Ono

 

Have you tried shaking her all night long?

 

hahaha so does my wife ... immeasurably

 

Oh any Lou Reed and she’s outta there!

 

Your cat is missing out! That’s a tune man

 

"Surfin' Bird"

 

Anything jazz.

 

Trout Mask Replica clear the room in my house

 

Evening Of Swing (Has Been Cancelled)-Half Man Half Biscuit, which is awkward as I’d quite like to have it played at my funeral.
