Bands/Albums you dig but your significant other detests

Steve Earle
(early) Lucinda Williams
(early) Bottle Rockets
Be Your Own Pet
Judas Priest

That's a fun topic idea. Deerhoof and Lightning Bolt are definitely the two she absolutely despises. I've been pretty lucky with everything else…especially considering she's a reformed hippie.

Zappa
Oingo Boingo
Hayseed Dixie
Commander Cody
Jerry Reed
Jim Stafford

Arctic Monkeys

ugh…this reminds me of my youth…
my dad every now and then, when he was feeling wild or on a bender, would blast Zappa records. my mom (and the rest of us) hated them

tool, van der graaf generator

While they are not my favorite band, my wife absolutely can't stand Ladytron.

for some reason, these three stick out the most:

Dresden Dolls
Elbow
Wolfmother

lauren hill

Merzbow and Throbbing Gristle.

Sleater-Kinney

Phish, Billy Joel, Jazz.

I've found a trend, many of my ex-girlfriends hated bands with unique singing styles like Xiu Xiu, Joanna Newsom, Antony & The Johnsons, Mountain Goats, etc

My current girlfriend wants nothing to do with my disco or jazz albums :(

All of them really…

But to name a few:

Explosions in the Sky
Modest Mouse
Superchunk
landspeedrecord

anything that drones on and on and on, that requires mind altering drugs to truly enjoy.

Oh yeah, and Roger Allen Wade

yup

my girlfriend hates smashing pumpkins
but then again, at this point, i don't care anymore and i think billy corgan can go fuck himself with this 'reunion'. i'd rather them be gone forever.

Depeche Mode … my gf saw them for the first time last year at Coachella, and she described Dave Gahan as "slimy." I can't really argue that one.

Antony & The Johnsons
Dusty Springfield
Tom Jones (old school)

On the whole we're pretty compatible when it comes to music.
