Never play music for someone unless you’re 100% sure they’ll love it. Otherwise, just give a recommendation and let them listen to it in their own time.
It’s difficult to enjoy something that’s been sprung on you with someone waiting for your validation. Unless you’re drunk or high.
Yeah, I had someone play some Snarky Puppy for me once. Straight up felt uncomfortable listening to it with them staring at me, but said it was alright.
Went away and listened to it again and loved it. Even if it’s good, it’s difficult to get into with someone breathing down your neck.
