I wrote something in another thread about art not being a great way to communicate, which I stick by... at the same time I understand the urge. Music is important to me and it affects me strongly. Sometimes I talk to my T about specific artists or songs, and he usually hasn't heard of them. Music is important to my T, too, but I don't know many of the artists he likes, either; we just have different tastes. But he often repeats quotes from songs. And in fact I don't like it very much when he does that. Usually I don't really know what he's trying to say and I have to ask him to explain it, and when he does it feels kind of flat and not very interesting, maybe because it's not really his own thought. So I guess I see sharing art or music as using someone else's expression in place of your own expression, when it would probably be better for you to look for your own expression, if that makes sense.
