If Songs Were Dates - The Plenty Of Fish Playlist

In my honest opinion there aren't a great number of redeeming features about internet dating.  How are you supposed to tell if you like someone from an awkward, self consciously written handful of sentences?  Well one fellow POFfer I stumbled across had the rather genius idea of listing the songs he'd listened to while writing his profile.  

His selection is actually pretty representative of some of the types of fellas I've encountered  on the site,  So I've named the selection "The POF Playlist" - song choices courtesy of a tall, dark stranger - interpretation by moi:

Clifford T Ward - Home Thoughts From Abroad - Ah, the sentimental but slow ones. Opening message is usually some variant of 'Hi babezz hows u?'. They are the sweet guys, the ones I probably should be going for. But the conversation always goes a little flat when I ask are you more of a Tesla or Edison kind of guy?

Led Zeppelin - Tangerine - Uh oh, the one who's still pining for his ex. A pretty sad song about lost love, the best thing about this song for me has always been the end, I like the way the tempo goes a bit haywire and the guitar is just allowed to play, but the thrills are few and far between.

Alice In Chains - Dam The River - The date typified by Alice in Chains would probably be long haired, a bit awkward around ladies, and have passions outside of their career and homelife. All these things are good, providing the passions are not Xbox360 or LARPing!

Johan Bach - Air - The intellectual. Will probably list his personality type as 'sapiosexual', which is slightly intimidating as you wonder if you will be intelligent enough to get his motor running. He probably wont end up being that clever after all, he just has a subscription the the National Geo
graphic and thinks he is.

Mastodon - Curl Of The Burl - Mastodon are like the metal band you cant put in a box, with sounds and influences from a plethora of other genres. This date could be interesting and likely to surprise you but watch out for a slight air of superiority

QOTSA - Go With The Flow - This one will be 6'3 of pure rock god. Sex on legs, ginger, beautiful - practically perfect in every way. No wait, that's just Josh Homme, unfortunately.

R.E.M - Nightswimming - Earnest, sincere, sensitive. Probably wont appreciate my drunken humour and would possibly find me a bit uncouth.



I can't seem to find Josh's POF profile
