You could always move to a nice Islamic country. America Rocks! Get used to it.

You know, I think I understand how you feel. I can't listen to almost any classic rock anymore. It's not that it's bad, but I've heard it all about a gazillion times. I've been listening to a whole lotta Nine Inch Nails lately, which at least sounds fresh to me.

The Stones!!! HAHAHAHA! They play Van Halen and Motley Crue on the classic rock stations now. You're about 20 years out of date.

No I can't agree. The Killers, Blondie and Idol are punk rockers or new wave. (I looked it up). Lol, 20 years ago, Idol, Blondie etc might have been punk/pop. New Wave hasn't been a term in use for at least as long. It's pop, not rock, and not even remotely hard rock.

So being that I just digitized my entire Frank Sinatra collection, does that make me a bad person?? :-)
To: Hound of the Baskervilles
Well there ya go. See several people have posted the same remarks. But no one has yet to say they have walked out of a store because there was no music or because the music was too slow, too soft or was not rock music. So dammit...I'm right. Stores are losing money when they play loud or inappropriate music. Dumb bunnies. Oh no. Want to run me out of a store? Play MUZAK, or Yani, or heaven forbid John Tesh. I'll run like a straight man from the backstage of the Ice Capades. The only thing that might possibly drive me out of the store faster would be country music.

Now I ask you...is this appropriate music for a department store?Don't ask me. I've been listening to the song for 30 years and never figured out what it was supposedly about.

I'm sorry you seem to have no connection with your physical/sexual side. That is what rock is meant to tap into. It does so naturally without effort for most of us. Cerebral music like symphonic music has it's place but listening to it exclusively is like looking at Japanese watercolors all day and missing a Grucci fireworks display.
BTW, The Electric guitar in the hands of someone like Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson or Stevie Ray Vaughn is a thing of immense beauty and raw-refinement if that terms makes sense to you.

Can't people be content with their own thoughts at least for a little while? Exactly, it's just noise pollution plain and simple. Anymore, you have to go somewhere to get away from music, not go somewhere to listen to music.

Nope - exact same reason: that fiance made me observe the five seconds after "Stairway" as well.
Perfectly good song he messed up for me. Ptui.

Have you heard Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt"? Word has it Trent Reznor was moved to tears when he saw Cash's video. WOW.

Out of respect, I'm observing five seconds of silence after each of your posts. :)

Now, see, if you're doing it out of respect on your own, that's one thing, and perfectly understandable. I am, after all, the source of much that is good and right on FR. ;)
If you're doing it because I or someone else insist that you do, that's another story.

How about if I campaign for (but not force) others to do it?

If you wish to lobby and to use your superior powers of persuasion, I say go for it! And do let me know how that crusade turns out. ;)

I beg to differ. I really do. I have so much connection with it, I don't need people helping me connect to it by playing rock music in every bleeding store or place of business or on every TV commercial. I am sorry that you need so many crutches and reminders to get in touch with your sexual side.

Wait a minute wait a minute. Ever heard the 1812 Overture? The cannons going off, the bells ringing...that sort of thing? That's fire works without question. Try Charge of the Light Brigade by Suppe. Plenty of classical music has fireworks. And yet I don't want to hear those loud songs in a department store either. So why do we have to hear loud rock or loud anything?
Why should anyone have to listen to someone else's choice of music in order to shop for food or clothing and the necessities of life? Really when you think about it its not fair. But as I said, I am not about to launch a crusade against store music. I am not that type and their are already too many crusades anyway.
I am just saying...think about it.....why does there have to be music every where you go? And why is it always rock music? What's wrong with the thoughts inside your own head? I can go for days without background music or TV.
