Romance Tip: Do not corner your girlfriend in the basement and croon "Lady" to her.
Domo arigato, Mr. Hecubotto....
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

When I was in high school, my brother liked to play his Styx albums full blast when I was trying to sleep. Kind of put me off them.
I went from liking pop/Top 40 music until I was around 16, and then my brother got me into 1950s/early '60s music, which I listened to almost exclusively for about four years until a college friend dragged me out to dance on New Wave night at the local nightclub. That's when I got hooked on mid-80s New Wave--Dead or Alive, Erasure, Communards, New Order, etc., as well as some of the college radio stuff like REM, OMD, INXS, and other all-caps groups.

In the music crit business we call that the Caps Lock Era.
Okay, we don't but now I will.
(I also refer to the early Beatles music as their Pronoun Era.)
I'm still ashamed I bought the Wilson Phillips album. I wasn't even in high school at the time.
I was never really ashamed of any of my high school favorites, which were mostly Pink Floyd and the Who and the Dead. It was the early 80s, but I guess I didn't know it?
I did have a brief flirtation with ... New Wave? Electronic stuff? I don't even know what to call it -- Romeo Void, Depeche Mode, Yaz, etc. It didn't last long, and I also discovered Joni Mitchell in high school, so.
Styx is another band I loved as a kid that I've slowly been getting back into....
Styx was the second rock concert I ever went to. (Warrant being the first.) (Man, Alaska sucked for seeing big acts.)

I own a lot of stuff now I'd have been DEAD before owning in high school.

Yeah, my love of bandom always seems a little squirmy when my twelve-year-old doesn't even like Fall Out Boy. He adores My Chem, though!
