I Know it's Only Rock and Roll but I Hate it.
11/27/2005 | Hound of the Baskervilles

Posted on 11/28/2005 3:51:41 PM PST by Hound of the Baskervilles

I'm posting this in hopes of getting opinions and advice about my growing annoyance of being bombarded with loud hard rock music everywhere I go. It's in grocery stores, department stores, even dentists offices, and it's ALWAYS on TV, in practically every single commercial.

What's worse, I got a job at a major chain department store that caters to mid-America. It's not Penny'S but it is on a par with Penny's/ The sotre plays mostly rock and roll all day long. At night it's nothing but hard rock. The Killers, Lynrd Skynrd, Blondie, Billie Idol, Swiftfoot, ZZ Top, and on and on and on. The music is loud too. (It's loud in most stores.) Not only that, in the store where I work the lyrics of some of the songs are raunchy. Aerosmiths Walk this Way is about oral and group sex. Billy Idol's Rebel Yell is about, well I can't print the words. Even the song, What's Your Name Little Girl, (don't know the artists) is about picking up a woman at a hotel and staying the night with her, plus a band member "having a go" with one of the guests.

This is just my opinion please you rock fans don't take offense. I hate rock music. It's worse than animals growling and screaming. The electric guitar is the most annoying instrument known to man. I am wearing earplugs to work and night and in most stores. Still I can hear it. Help me someone to understand why this music is the most popular form of music in the world. If you like it tell me why so I can try to understand and learn to live with it because there is no escaping it. If you don't like it please give me some sympathy!

Have you heard The Gathering?

I wasn't a big fan of "The Legacy," their last one with Skolnick until First Strike Still Deadly. Didn't much like Demonic.

If it's too loud, the musician has ruined his eardrums.
And now he wants to ruin yours.
