Music Pet Peeves

[Prime]

One of my pet peeves is when people say "I listen to everything" when they actually mean "I listen to whatever my friends are listening to/what's on the pop radio station".

It's also annoying when they think that the stuff on the pop radio station or any station is the best music and nothing else can compare. Can't tell you the amount of times i've tried to talk about a band and the response I get is..."well are they on the radio?".

Oh god I know! Or this one time I mention how Elton John is the single most successful man in charted to my cousin and he just kept repeating "In your opinion he is.". NO it's not just my opinion. It's a proven statistic. Quit trying to argue it. Geeze....

My response to this is usually "... why the hell are you listening to the radio?"

Having been on the radio as a broadcaster for a long time (well 7 years), I know better than to say that to someone. I liked having "good" ratings, plus I didn't play anything "popular" and when I did play a popular artist, it was usually deep album cuts.

Because the CD player in my car is broke! That's why! :mad

It was in the trunk anyway.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Not the point. Trunk or not there was a time where it played and that lasted for over a decade.

 

[ladyislingering]

It died because you were so hard on it.

Psssh, it wasn't in my hands for even two years.
