Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

So... you must hate most modern pop; seems there's a rap interlude in everything.

Okay, so we know what you hate. What music do you like?

I'd prefer to be wide awake during a colonoscopy with a fire hose to rap.

I've got a colonoscopy coming June 16 (it was originally on June 1, but, it got rescheduled).

no one, your post brings me more fear and trepidation... at least I will be OUT while they do mine.

Limp Bizkit and Eminem will probably be playing in my earphones, if they give me a music option like they did during my two hour MRI. However, I will make sure to request my faves...

Eek. LW

I do indeed hate radio gaga.

Amongst my favorites, Floyd, Hendrix, RUSH, Buckethead. Recently started digging surf music.

Dngrsone · May 5, 2015

Oh. You're a Rush fan.

: rolleyes:

I half-expected you to be a Country fan. Old-school, George Strait country, not that Shania Twain sh*t...

Dngrsone · May 5, 2015

I'm just messin' with ya... I listen to most genres, though Mumford & Sons bothers me for some reason.

Oh, and I can't stand Nightcore...

Turn on Bruno Mars if you want to see me throw a chair.

I don't believe you.

Can I just watch?

I like Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, all that mindless pop, it's usually fun to sing along with & is generally positive & upbeat. Sometimes I think maybe I'm supposed to have more grownup tastes in music at my age? But I don't care, I like what I like! [emoji4]

I once dated a guy who told me the kind of music I like is horrible... we're no longer together (that's not why, though)

I don't see how something that's free & makes me happy, could be called "horrible"? [emoji19]

I'd give it a 2. It's a little too weird for me, not something I'd want to listen to again.

I needed some ear bleach after that. For EM's other victims, you'll need this:

Sorry to hear that!

Mindless 'happy-as-you-go' pop music is relatively harmless.

PattiCake, listen away, and be happy.

It's the music that insidiously divides us in the United States that worries me.

AM Rock in the '60s and '70s, while being poor in sound quality, played everything that made the Top 40 - The Beatles, then, the next tune would be Aretha Franklin; followed by The Beach Boys, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Conway Twitty or Roy Clark, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles... Hendrix... Joplin... then...

As the '70s kicked in, Brownsville Station, The O'Jays, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and...

I miss those times. Our nation, trying to come together, via radio.

Now, radio divides us - especially in the talk show format. SiriusXM fills the void, but, the old magic between the deejay and listener has disappeared - unless you're the right caller for those free concert tickets.

Interestingly enough, one of my favorite deejays is George Noory on Coast To Coast AM. He covers the paranormal, UFOs, and subjects that are informative and mind-opening about current events.

Isn't EarlyMon in some sort of clear violation of forum policies? Torture is not acceptable here, is it?

bjacks12 · May 6, 2015

I'll tell you where bin laden is, just make it stop!

Early, I think you need a new avatar
