My Girlfriends lack of musical knowledge is disturbing.

Without roasting my girl to hell and back I thought this was hilarious and really highlighted how easily it is to think less of someone because of taste in music .....just kiddin...........i think

lol

So my girlfriend calls me up and shes harping on about Prodigy

when she catches me off guard and says I also found this amazing song called "Tom Sawyer".......

So im thinking this cant be happening lol I dont wanna come across as a total douche we have been together for 5 years its all fun and games but theres only so much crappy music (imo) that you can take at once.

I had to rush of the phone so we didnt finish the convo but later found this in my inbox:

Needless to say I instantly threw up in my hands. I replied sending a link to Rush playing it in Rio I think.

Her opinion: Utter crap.

Pointless little story I know but thought it was funny.

I think you are pretty much ragging on her tastes more than her knowledge.

I just died inside

I am appalled at that cover. What is music coming to?

Luckily my girlfriend loves Rush and most of the music I like, although the first thing she always does is pick the most popular song by any band I have on my computer/ipod. Slightly annoying, but I'd probably tell her to leave if she preferred that Tom Sawyer cover over the original.

I'm going to go watch Rush in Rio now to make up for it.

Nothing matters like...taste.

Is she hot?
If so why care what she thinks?

edit to add:

Stingray_EB · #8 08-07-2009, 02:46 PM

Yea you guys are right its more a taste thing than knowledge i just thought it was strange how she hadnt even heard of Rush after finding a cover of what I believe to be the bands best song.

I seriously broke up with a girl just because she told me she thought Megadeth sucked.

come on man, the prodigy is good music, even if you don't like it, you can't hate on her for liking it

it's not like the jonas brothers, who get their songs handed to them and are part of a marketing machine, the prodigy are a hard working band

I agree about MSI though

that makes me want to run around and rub feces on the walls.

My closest female friend (who I've known since junior high) seemed really offended when I stopped seeing a friend of hers after a couple dates citing her (IMO) terrible taste in movies/books/music as a main reason.

She thought I was being incredibly shallow when I think the reality is that these things not only matter to me, but IMO are a very clear indicator of whether or not two people have enough in common to get along.

I'm not saying a couple has to like all the same things, but there has to be some common ground. And the stuff she liked was just a huge red flag. Having run into this woman a number of times since, I'm convinced I just saved the two of us a month or more of additional dates that would have just led to a worse breakup anyway.

One of the things I like about my girlfriend: she doesn't listen to Rush.

Well, I played the video & my cat just barfed (I don't know if it's from the vid or if he just yacked for no reason). Now I've got mild brain damage from listening to this cover & I have to clean up cat puke. thanks.

RobertPaulson · #17 08-07-2009, 02:58 PM

I do like prodigy, but I couldn't make it through even half of that version of tom sawyer, talk about a travesty.

Gord_oh · #18 08-07-2009, 02:59 PM

No offense, but she might have been right.

I love when MSI covered this song. The blast beats just make it ridiculously fun.

MSI is such a fun band live and Jimmy Urine's vocals are all over the charts.

You can't ever compare it to Rush: it's like comparing apples to Raisin Bran.

I'm pretty much expecting to get flamed for this, so I'm now subscribed. =)
