I'd say the Clash mixed with a bit of Sex Pistols.

1. Yea!!

I'd go for that.

Through in some Who and Zep for the late-night crowd, too.

3. Right now?
I would argue that AC/DC is a real possibility, with all the requisite fist pumping and whatnot.

I remember the funeral dirges and gregorian chants, around here, all too well.

4. Light rock probably
KDU - we play the bands that make you feel vaguely nostalgic. Coming up "Bad Moon Rising" by CCR, "Chimes of Freedom" by the Byrds, and closing out the set "Driven to Tears" by the Police.

5. Barry Manilow
We come to bury Manilow, not to praise him.

9. It wouldn't be one type of music. Too many different types here.
If you try to put it into a single kind, you'd end up with John Zorn or Mr. Bungle, but even that wouldn't be representative of the entire membership.

(By the way, I like John Zorn and Mr. Bungle.)

11. Good Music
Good is a kind, right?

I'd much rather go to a bar that plays only good music than to one that plays a mix of good and bad and mediocre. And there are lots of flavors of good music.

16. I think it depends on which forum you're in.
I would think that the GLBT forum would have a smattering of Madonna.

17. Tom Jones
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna' die
It's not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it's such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say
you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual, to be sad with anyone
but if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
it's not unusual to find out that I'm in love with you
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh


:rofl:

38. Death Ambient.
Or at least, whenever I showed up, that's what I'd chaneg the jukebox to, and everyone would know not to touch it for fear of me, because I'm such a grrrrr TIGER! Scary.

Woooooo.

Back off!
