The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

This one is pretty easy for me.
When we got married, I DJ'd our own wedding with a series of playlists for each part of the night. Then we gave out a mixtape that represented tracks from the night.
From there, every year on our anniversary, we make another playlist. We've been married 15 years, so that's 16 mixtapes of music. The whole thing is right here, all 16 - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5sXokGoRzMdrT7CykXmfx2?si=f8c05f8ea7004f3d
If I had to pick 1 song, it would be the lead off song, Decemberists "The Crane Wife 1 & 2". https://songwhip.com/the-decemberists/the-crane-wife-1-and-2
The Crane Wife story and then album were part of our relationship while we were dating, then the night the Decemberists came to town touring the Crane Wife, that was the night I proposed, then we went to go see them. We still have the concert posters from that night up in our bedroom.
So yeah.
That's pretty awesome. I like that you've kept the tradition up for your anniversaries too.
I am a music obsessive. But to be honest my choices might make my wife's ears bleed. At least she is cool with me blaring music through the house every chance I get.
haha! We each definitely have music that's not each other's fave (you'll notice Yes has yet to show up on the playlist lol). But we love music and love listening to music together at home and in the car, so when songs connect with us we jot it down! We also have fun with themes some years. Like for our 15th anni, we did 15 songs that had a number in them that went in order one to fifteen! It's fun to build the playlists together and share with family and friends. <3
