Yeah. I've been able to get into relationships with people who hate the music I listen to, and vice versa. But nothing that really lasted that long, despite trying to get into/tolerate each other's favorite bands. Music has actually contributed to the downfall of more than one of the relationships I've been in. (I'm a little argumentative when you play Insane Clown Posse in MY car while I'm trying to drive.)

I like having a lot of common ground with someone, especially musically, because talking to them is a lot easier. Again, being passionate about what you listen to is good enough for me, if you've also got something inside your head that isn't lint and a personality to go with it. But more often than not, I come across people who are insanely attractive to me, but are seriously lacking in at least two of those departments. It never goes anywhere.

However, I'm not really everyone, so... :/ excuse the rambling.
