I tend to listen to alot of house/deep-soulful house and most women I have met say that my image and my musical taste don't match which makes it easier for them to want to date me.

One of the myriad of reasons I married my husband was because he was a piano player and played a lot of the music that I love (old standards, ragtime, etc.,) I couldn't possibly stand to be with someone who was into some kind of music that I detested. It would be torture.

same thoughts here, I may stop from dating an individual because of their music taste or better yet may not even go out whatsoever!
Kinda hard to say as I have never put myself in that position.

Music is a big deal to me, too, and my tastes in music are rather eclectic. So, if we shared a love of some of the same genre's, I'd probably give it a try even if she was a complete mess. (if I found someone who was as much of a fan of Buddy Holly, Leo Kottke, and Alan Lomax as I am, I'd already be half-way in love with them.)

I would not based solely on music, but to flip the question I have definitely been turned off by women because of their music taste. Like this one girl who pretty much only listened to pop music (Britney / Rhianna / pussycat dolls/ etc), that is not going to work for me. It wasnt because she liked it, its because she didn't like anything else. My music needs some depth, and my women do too.

IMO the music we like grabbed a hold of us when we were quite young sometimes middle school or younger and our personality developes around the pop culture associated with that music and those artist 's lifestyles, I think if someone is 180 degrees in a different direction from me I might not see them as a potential love interest. I have had next door neighbors, and co-workers and close friends who music sucks, but I like them . But there is nothing like getting into the car with someone and they grab a CD from their collection and it happens to be one of your favorites,

No, I would not date someone based solely on the music they listen to.

Their music taste would be a contributing factor towards wanting to date them.. and it could also be a disqualifying factor.

I am a huge Jimmy Buffett fan, and I would love to meet a woman who was really into the Parrothead lifestyle...but in this case it's really more a state of mind that the music represents, than the music itself.
