I know I have mentioned before Sweetie's and my disparate tastes in music. And how if you were to guess who is the girl and who is the boy based on the music collection you would be wrong. Over the years we've started to mesh our tastes a bit more. But, apparently, not as much as I had thought.
We've both gotten iPods in the last couple of months, so the task of converting the CD collection to the computer has befallen us. Although Sweetie got his iPod second, he undertook the task first. I knew he skipped some of my CDs as he was uploading, which is fine by me, but I had no idea quite how MANY he had passed over. I've finished transferring the files from his computer to mine, so now it's time for me to add in those he'd missed. Thankfully, he made a list for me for easy reference.
Among the artists he chose NOT to include on his computer:
Belly
Camper van Beethoven and Cracker
The Cure
Dead Milkmen
Depeche Mode
Duran Duran
Everclear
Iggy Pop
Led Zeppelin
Meat Puppets
Morphine
Nine Inch Nails
Pink Floyd
The Pixies
The Sex Pistols and Sid Vicious
Social Distortion
Soundgarden
Weezer
Young Fresh Fellows
However, some of those he DID include:
Violent Femmes
The Offspring
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Cake
Death Cab For Cutie
Jesus Jones
For many of these it's obviously a case of lack of exposure, rather than dislike, based on those things he HAS incorporated into his world. So apparently it's time to expand his horizons once again.
How could he pass over The Cure?

Just don't know 'em. Could probably sing along with them on the radio, but I didn't recognize any of their stuff. So I passed them up.
