What's a nice way of telling your girlfriend..."your new favorite band kinda sucks"

[skra75]

I have a dilemna. She's really into this god-awful reggae band. They have a chubby white dude on vocals and sound like a bad imitation of that hebrew dude that raps and does reggae (can't recall that fuckers name, but he sucks too).

What is a nice way of letting her know I can't fucking stand this music, and that she could be listening to a virtual myriad of better reggae that is out there?

yeah, fuck.

[Rock]

Just tell her it sucks.

If I didn't tell my wife that some of the bands she likes sucked balls, I'd have to listen to shitty music everyday. I'll listen to my own shitty music, thank you.

[cookiepuss]

yeah..you don't have to be nice about it...just say you don't like it. you don't have to go into why..just say "hey this is not for me."

My man tells me he doesn't like my music all the time. I'm cool with it. I'm kind enough to avoid playing it when he's home. unless I'm mad at him. then I play it just to annoy him. LOL.

[beastieangel01]

that's one thing that always worries me. When certain bands/music don't line up for us both.

There are two artists in particular my boyfriend listens to that I am embarrassed FOR him. Though there is sentimental value, for good reason, as a kid in relation to his parents. But, outside of that it's god awful. And I accidently laughed really hard at him playing it when I first met him because I thought he was joking (before knowing a back story). Oops.

He doesn't really play it around me anymore, ha. I have yet to have him tell me he doesn't like something I listen to. He has found many new artists he LOVES because of me.

:cool:

anyway! I recommend just saying you aren't in to them. I'm sure she will be kind enough to not play it much when you are around. That tends to be the solution.

[HEIRESS]

I dont like that matisyahu dude, his lyrics are too I HAVE A FIRE INSIDE AND I NEED TO LET IT BURN SO I CAN LIGHT THE PATH TO THE RIGHTEOUS ZION etc for me

I have never dated anyone with even an equivalent of the love for music that I have

though my first love really really liked shit like less than jake and other poppy punk and I was all (n) (n) (n) up in his face about it, but he hated my hip hop so fair's fair eh

[abcdefz]

God. I still regret not going to an ex-girlfriend's fucking Flock of Seagulls concert. I laughed when she suggested it and she was cool about it and dropped it, then dropped me within weeks afterward.

[bigblu89]

My wife and I pretty much have nothing in common when it comes to music, but I think I've influenced her taste a lot more that she has to mine.

[Yeti]

I am not a Dead fan but I used to listen to Chinacat Sunflower and Uncle Tom's Cabin to get a hummer from the Deadhead I dated in the 80s.

[The Notorious LOL]

matching up group for group about what music is good is fucking boring anyway.


"I love that group" "yeah me too" "lol"

[ericlee]

I tell my wife her music sucks all the time. I was listening to one of her songs and the guy seemed like he was being emotional but he was saying "ling ling" in the song. Freaking LOLfest.

I'm glad she's getting into my music.

[The Notorious LOL]

my friend once saw the ladies cd collection and said "y'know its awesome you two get along as well as you do when shes got mos def and jurassic 5 in her music collection"

[Schmeltz]

The nicest way, of course, is to buy her something. (http://store.theonion.com/product_info.php?products_id=185) I got mine in the mail a couple of weeks ago and it's a big hit!

hahahaahahah!
:( for DDD sorry (lols)

Yeah, you know, it's totally fine to not like some of the same stuff. As long as there's a good overlap of things you both do like, having some differences of opinion about what's enjoyable is not a dealbreaker. That's why I only ever get to play Depeche Mode at high volume when mr.peachy is out of town, and he only ever really listens to Elvis Costello with headphones.

[adam_f]

I went out with this girl once a couple years back. We were in the car, I had Gang Starr's "The Ownerz" playing we got in, and she said she knew who they were and that Premier was a fag.

Two things: I was impressed she at least knew who Gang Starr was because from what I could tell she was into emo at the time. And that night was the last time I ever saw her.

You can make fun of my music all you want, but don't be calling Premier a fag.

[befsquire]

"oh my god i really fucking hate that. turn that fucking shit off now. it's horrible. do not ever play that around me. ever."

see how easy that is? it's the epitome of diplomacy, really.

[skra75]

Gang Starr's "The Ownerz"

good song.
lol

[skra75]

also - she's getting the picture that I hate the band.
It's a shame she's not into better reggae though. I have a shitload of better reggae.
Last comment: I've realized that a whole lot of merengue is pretty fresh. hats off to her. And, I forgive her for liking 'evascence'. fucking yuck.

[zorra_chiflada]

evanesence? man, that's fucking unforgiveable

[p-branez]

i made my friend a wilco cd and she said she didn't like it. at least she was honest.
i don't think it really matters anway.

[DandyFop]

And, I forgive her for liking 'evascence'. fucking yuck.

Jesus christ she must have the vagina of an angel

I heard Snow got fat but I didn't know he had a full band now.

I can guarantee you it is bomb pussy he's dealing with here. (y)

[trailerprincess]

FFS just tell her.

[na§tee]

aaaaahahahahhahaahah. this made me LOL. thankyou. yo, what does he look like? because i tend to crush on most curly-haired jewish boys. jewish boys that hip hop are even better. imma google.

oh and skra, i would just be honest. perhaps saying they "are shit" is not so cool though, hahaha. how about "oh, i would strongly prefer if you didn't pollute my ears with that rubbish" OR "here is some horace andy".

[trailerprincess]

or next time she puts their music on, burst some ketchup sachets near your ears and roll around on the floor screaming 'MY EARS ARE BLEEDING, MAKE IT STOP!!!'

Subtle, yet effective.

[skra75]

oh, i would strongly prefer if you didn't pollute my ears with that rubbish

tI can always count on you for the classy out. you people from the UK are so damn refined.

[na§tee]

aaahahaha. nae bother, skra. here, come and join me in my conservatory for a cup of earl grey. scone, anyone? do you mind turning that frightful noise polluting my ears down?

[ET]

If that doesn't work then threatening to stick your cock into a running Salad Shooter ought to give her the message.

[skra75]

but I'd miss it :(
I've got her listening to trentemoller and hot chip so hahahahahh.
soon she'll join me at my side and well rule the galaxy as father and son
maybe not that sounds creepy lol
