My wife and I have more or the less the same musical taste as well.
Like me, she's a big fan of REM and the Church. And throughout our 
courtship,
I was able to turn her on to some of my other faves (dB's, Let's 
Active, the bands that occupy the Audities universe, etc.).
She now also plays bass in my band after picking it up two years ago 
and essentially teaching herself -- with a little help from me. There's 
some pix of her playing here:

I count myself lucky to have found her on so many fronts -- music is 
just one part of that.

By the way, our first dance song was  REM's "At Your Most Beautiful."

john,
