Fairly similar. We both like classic rock, 90s grunge/hard rock, and some 80s hard rock, but current music differs some. We both like bands like Tool, Volbeat, and Sevendust, but where I veer harder beyond that (Slayer, DevilDriver, Lamb of God) she goes the other way (Foo Fighters, Coldplay, that kind of stuff.)

 
She introduced me to Sinatra, Streisand, Nina Simone, Ella, Third World, Ijahman and Donna Summer and I introduced her to Traffic, Neil Diamond, Eric Clapton, The Doors, Steely Dan, Robert Plant and Hank Sr. We still veer to our side of the aisle when sharing the ipod/cd's on long trips but we've grown to like a bunch of each others tastes.

 
vastly different.

she describes my music as "Those Angry Men Screaming All The Time."

i describe her music as "A Soundtrack By Which To Shuffle Loose This Mortal Coil."

our common tastes intersect at the Beastie Boys, The Who, The Clash, Drive By Truckers, Flogging Molly, and smattering of One-Hit-Wonders from the 80s.

 
probably about 50% overlap.

She hates a lot of stuff I like, though.

I mildly dislike a lot of stuff she likes and hate a tiny bit of it.

 
Mrs. Servo: Contemporary Christian music, some 80s music - the more danceable stuff.

Me: Jazz, classical, Christian rock (Skillet, Red, The Devil Wears Prada, etc.), country (Johnny Cash, George Jones, Freddie Fender, etc.)

 
Me: 70s rock, hard rock, acid jazz, trip hop, stuff that gets you going on a hard run, college rock, some classic country

Both: 80s and 90s rock, most modern country, some stuff currently on the radio

Her: pop, more country, christian

I do like podcasts a lot more than she does.

I don't particularly dig her modern pop, she doesn't particularly dig my punk or garage rock, but throughout all other genres we're mostly on the same page.

sounds a bit like us - we like most of the same stuff (classic rock, neil young, 70's, etc), but she also loves R&B, where I'll just tolerate it. And I like more metal and/or progressive rock than she does.

I'm also an album guy - if I put an album on the turntable, the entire side gets played. She's more of "oh, let's hear this song next".

 
her: country, modern pop, 90's

me: house music, reggae, talk radio/podcasts, 90's

so we listen to 90's on 9 in the car

 
Mrs Eephus likes metal and synthpop a more than I do, and lets just say her boundaries for what constitutes listenable music are narrower than mine. She also favors up-tempo stuff more than a young Ricky Bobby. But her idea of a perfect date night is still to press up against the stage and watch live music in some dive so I'll keep her.

 
Very little overlap in our likes.

When I was younger I vastly underrated the importance of sharing a taste in music with a significant other. I love listening to music all of the time, but it is very frustrating with someone who doesn't share my tastes.

 
somewhere between option #1 and option #3, but oddly that isn't option #2

Pretty much not at all.

I'm a 70's rock guy but I also like jazz, classical and even some country. My wife likes 80's stuff and today's top 40's teeny bopper stuff.

 
Don't know how to answer. I have very specific tastes throughout a wide variety of musical styles. She is much more open to most music, therefore can enjoy most of what I like. I only like about 5% of what she likes.

 
Music has always been situational for me. I answered "similar but different...".

Wifey always likes the same type of music whether she's chilling, in the gym or getting tongue banged by some chick.

I only care that the music fits the situation.

I can't listed to Waka Flocka while working in my office but can in a club

I can't listen to Drowning Pool while chilling but I can in the gym

I can't listen to Toby Keith while jogging but can while shaking off work at happy hour

I can't listen to LCD Soundsystem during sex but I can on a long drive

I can't listen to Drake ever but I would if I decided to have unprotected gay sex

Why do you listen to soft rock at the gym?

 
Thinking back, I don't think I have ever had identical or mostly identical taste in music with any girlfriend.

 
We are so far apart its ridiculous. She pretty much adheres to Christian contemporary. She can handle U2 & Coldplay, but that's as "wild" as it gets. Once I get to Radiohead and Pearl Jam, she's lost. And my small forays into Outkast, Eminem and Snoop are so far outside of her realm I've never even mentioned them.

I'd say maybe a 5% overlap. When we take long road trips, I put in some ear buds so i can stand it.

 
We both dug on NIN, pumpkins, Radiohead, etc in the 90s, so we do cross paths on that and some fun 80s pop.

Now she mostly listens to stuff like Mumford and sons, but I prefer more electric in my guitars. We probably cross paths on about 70% of stuff. About the only thing we couldn't listen to of each others stuff is she doesn't dig metal, and i dont like reggae.
