Question of the Day: Make or Break My Love

by Morning Show

When it comes to relationships, everybody has a checklist. Is he tall? Does she cook? Do my parents like him? Does she like kids? Perhaps one of the most common make-or-breakers, though, is music! Maybe you met at a Springsteen concert and the rest was history. Or maybe you were dating, but you realized that you just couldn't take his Dave Matthews obsession. Either way, we want your story! Tell us about your make-or-break music tale, and what songs you want us to play, in the comments below.

What we played:

Wilco "Heavy Metal Drummer"
