If your potential s/o is a rude bastage the problem isn't the music. If they persist with stuff that makes you choke, even after you've talked about it, there's something wrong besides the music. It's a symptom, not a cause. Anyway, if tastes are blindingly different there's not a big chance you'll be around each other to start anything anyway.
Sure, having common interests is a good thing. The more in common the easier it is to get something started. But relationships and the people in them grow & change or it dies. Looking for perfection out of the gate means writing off some potentially great matches, however unlikely they might seem. Beyond a few fundamental issues, for me it's always come down to how we communicate and work through things, not the little things we have to work through.
