"How important is musical taste in a relationship?"

It isn't... But then music isn't my life. That doesn't mean it's unimportant. In fact, I spent my Army enlistment as a musician, traveling Europe in an Army Band...string bass and Tuba. I also played professionally for a bit after discharge, while finishing college. So, music is important to me too...good music...and I loath some of crap that's being produced today.

However, my wife likes Country music and I can't stand it...especially the fiddles and twangy guitars. Like I said, though...music isn't my life, nor does it define our realationship.
