I, for one, know perfectly well how difficult it is to find friends who's music tastes equal up with mine.

Most of my friends are into douchebaggy deathcore (breakdowns and all), mass-produced "indie" bands and then of course there's my lovely girlfriend and her obsession with The Dead Kennedys (her tastes are the most tolerable of the bunch).

Feel free to post pics. To make the thread fun. Maybe of favorite bands or of your friends! =)

All my friends have very different tastes in music.

I could go on listing genres, but I'm far too lazy.

some friends listen to untolerable mainstream shit while others listen to untolerable underground shit.

nah, to be fair "eclectic" might be the word for it.

my ex was furious when i told her i despise the killers and clap your hands say yeah, she made me remind her what bands both of us liked.

All different. Of my two closest friends, one listens to mostly SRV, blues, jazz, R&B, and the other listens to classical, techno, and operatic-type stuff. But they're all pretty open for the most part. My last girlfriend listened to Radiohead and Snow Patrol type stuff.

Mine are varied in their tastes, ranging from Stoner Rock and rap, through Yngwie Malmsteen to Sleater Kinney. I rarely talk to my friends about music.

I have friends I made through music, so those tend to like a lot of the same stuff I do. They can surprise you though, like the guy in my band who's the weirdest and noisiest telling me how much he likes Steve Miller.

I have other friends I made other ways, such as photography for instance. Some of them like shit like U2 or whatever that I can't tolerate, but then I only know that from reading their profiles online and stuff. I don't usually listen to music with non-music friends for obvious reasons.

One of my friends only listens to Iron Maiden and people like Malmsteen, Satriani etc.
Another likes some stuff from a compilation I made for her - The Verlaines, Thurston Moore, The Cure, The Smiths, Suede, The Sugarcubes.

Thinking of my friends and acquaintances, they all have pretty diverse tastes... the only bands we can all agree on are the misfits, secret chiefs 3, dead kennedys, the smiths (who I don't really like but can tolerate), melt banana, joy division, the residents, polysics, and cerberus shoal...

Thinking of 5 random pals for a moment... One of my good pals is into a lot of electronic shit, and amprep type shit but also loves mainstream stuff like the Killers... cool dude... another pal of mine is mainly into throbbing gristle, jandek, early sonic youth, einsturzende neubauten, merzbow, the residents, legendary pink dots, but one of his all time favorite bands is CHEVELLE. No kidding... very weird but awesome dude, got me into a lot of cool shit.. Let's see, another friend of mine is mainly into sun city girls, amps for christ, my bloody valentine, etc... noisey, vaguely folkly, eclectic kinda stuff usually... one is mainly into pop punk and stuff like THinking Fellers type stuff... and one is into just NOISE, wolf eyes hair police merzbow all this shit.. he almost exclusively listens to doom, drone, etc.

So, I'm pretty lucky to be surrounded by a pretty diverse, open minded, and eclectic group of people, and we appreciate each other's tastes...

One of my best friends, I met him when we both shared a love of Babyland and Squarepusher...

My girlfriend mainly likes jpop, jindie, and uh... I dunno, really melodic shit.. .but also loves stuff like Secret Chiefs 3, Mr. Bungle, Estradasphere, etc...

People who I know around here but don't associate with as much seem to be mainly into mainstream punk and hipster stuff (the Locust, Holy Molar, all that shit that was popular 5 years ago).. but I dunno, I only know a few people who are into My Chemical Romance and shit, and they're all like... 15 or 16 years old.

Another friend says she's into different stuff and she doesn't listen to popular music, but her tastes seem very similar to everyone else's. Once I was talking about Sonic Youth with a friend, and she said "You're into Sonic Youth?" I said "Yes, are you?", but she wasn't really, she'd just heard one of their songs somewhere. Then she listened to Goo, but she didn't really like it. She said she was expanding her tastes.
She also likes to namedrop My Bloody Valentine - she'll be browsing through my iPod, and say "You like My Bloody Valentine?" and I'll ask her if she is, but she doesn't really know them.

I dunno, I guess there just isn't much to do in this town and maybe that makes people more explorative regarding music, but everyone (you know, that's around my age) knows who Sonic Youth is around here and has actually listened to them, and most know MBV. Sure, my musical tastes have rubbed off on my girlfriend, but even before we dated she discovered MBV, Le Shok, Causey Way, old Butthole Surfers, and more on her own.

Allow me to risk a large amount of, if not all of my credibility on these boards and defend CYHSY. They have dastardly catchy tunes and a singer, who's voice nestles a soothing abrasion into the wise listener's ear.

I'd choose these guys ove rmany other bands in a heartbeat.
