Poll question: Is There ANY lower form of music than MUZAK.
Edited on Sat May-14-05 03:04 AM by DistressedAmerican
It has been argued that the re-mix is the lowest form of music. I feel strongly that MUZAK is the single worst thing That mankind has EVER done to music.

It amounts to musical assault and battery. Both on the artist AND the listener!!!

So which is lower, more base, more degrading Re-mixes Or MUZAK?
(MUZAK tm Is A Registered Trademark of DOUCHEBAG MUSIC LLC, A Division Of FUCKCO INC)

14. There's the exception to every rule.
And for another, I'd rather listen to modern rap than Britney Spears. :puke:

Even then, I wouldn't.

Now for rap that is not violence-condoning yet speaks valid messages, check out Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet". Nothing wrong with it and it's very creative too, unlike most of anything made today.

16. To All The Hip-Hop And Rap Supporters
I am middle aged and have to listen to this crap in my lower middle class neighborhood daily.

Regularly, the young turks drive by blasting this stuff so loud that I cannot think.

It's WAR and I will not have my peace and quiet ruined by this noise!

2. Muzak isn't all bad
Listening to it is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my current job.

Which probably just proves that I have a shitty job more than that Muzak is anything great, but still...

There *are* a couple of genres I generally like less than Muzak but I'm going to be polite and abstain from bringing them up for now.

5. Yes.
I have a few, but it's bound to upset people who are fans of those genres, so I'll refrain.

Muzak isn't bad, but maybe it's because I grew up playing NES video games. The music in those was about on par with Muzak, so maybe I developed a taste for it.

12. How about Schlager?


I admit both Muzak and remixes (especially if there are 10+ remixes of a song each one more boring than the other one) can be pretty vile

13. Phil Collins
For some reason, whenever I turn on the '80s hit radio station in the car, it's always a verdammt Phil Collins song. Worst earworms in history. :grr: :puke:

15. Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on that
Phil is a good guy. He wrote some nice songs as well and he's cool. At least he doesn't give a damn about his image or looks unlike everybody else.

17. I was a huge fan of Genesis before Peter Gabriel left
which is not helping Phil's cause.

I actually know most of Phil's songs due to heavy saturation back then...it's just that when a chorus of one of his songs runs through my head all night without respite or sleep, I get, well, let's just say that my head feels like a mental hospital.
