My highschool sweetheart recently contacted me after a number of years without any communication. I won't go into that though, since I'm trying to keep this musically related. However, it has given me an idea for a new series. Since I have always really been into music, I've taken notice of the musical preferences of my significant others. In retrospect, I'm noticing that there is no solid connection between similar tastes in music and the longevity of a relationship, which makes sense to a degree. After all, if you truely care for someone, then the music they listen to should have no bearing on the relationship. On the otherhand, there is very little country music that I can stand listening to. So if I were dating someone who was really into, I might get a bit aggrevated. Anyways, my new series will feature an ex and a musical artist/band that I recall them liking. And, in honor of my highschool sweetheart, I have decided to start with the most recent and work my way back in time to her. With that, here we go.
KristineShe was a huge fan of Billy Joel. Her CD collection consisted primarily of classic rock, pop and country music. As previously stated, I tend to dislike most country music and I'm selective when it comes to classic rock. As for Billy Joel, I have a great deal of respect for him as a musician and performer. That said, I really don't like his music. Sure, the songs are catchy and the lyrics are usually well written, but I could never really get into it. As for the relationship, let's just say that we had very little in common, asside from our mutual love or wine and black & white movies. I can honestly say that the demise of our relationship had nothing to do with our completly seperate ideas on what "good" music is, but of all the relationships I've been in, I would have to give her the award for Most Oppostite in Musical Taste.
