You kinda deserved that request, and she was probably right. Your taste in music is only relevant in so far as it is used to make you better at making your crowd as happy as you possibly can. It’s not your dance floor; it’s theirs. I, for example, hate country music. But I make sure I know it enough to be able to play it when needed.
I know that, I understand exactly what you mean. If I was being hired by a club to play top 40, I’d play top 40. As it was, it was my show, I was playing there primarily for me and the people who like my tastes in music (there are plenty of them there). There is absolutely no way I could please everyone. I play electronic music, the top 40 crew complains. I play top 40, the metal crew complains. Someone will ALWAYS complain. I figured it was easier to just target the group with similar musical taste to me, because then I could throw a little more passion into it.
