Dammit I didn't even click on that link and the chipmunks 'christmas time is here' is looping in my brain.
What's wrong with me?
Edit: Okay I clicked it and listened to it all the way through, hopefully that will cure me.

Oddly enough, I'm now getting back into car audio... At least in my Jeep. The top is off permanently these days, so I needed to boost the radio in order to hear it when on the freeway.
Which was first the main speakers being replaced and modifying the crossover frequency of the stock tweeters.
Just recently I added a new HU because my stock one didn't even have bluetooth, so I used a bluetooth->FM transmitter which wasn't great. And the stock HU didn't put out enough power, so I was in the "distortion zone" just to be able to hear.
Unfortunately I realized as I planned the build that the stock system was built around a completely underpowered 8ch amp that drives everything at 2 ohm. And although my head unit has RCA pre-outs, of course the stock amp doesn't have line level inputs, so I have to drive an amplifier with an amplified signal.
So the next step is an aftermarket amp, which will then push me to replace the sub aftermarket, and probably the tweeters.
All that for a car I drive <20% of the time...

Be the ball!
Alpine makes one that fits in the back, it's pretty cool. Start with speakers, imo.
I am a 70's to 80's rock kinda guy. I grew up then and love the classic rock bands. I do remember though at barbecues when I was young my father cranking his 50's doo whops, which he and his friends loved. Songs like "In The Still Of The Night", "Tonight Tonight", "Please Say You Want Me To", among many others where always in the background. So I did grow up appreciating that genre of music and all of that cool harmony.

Nope.
Now I have Alvin singing "Merry Christmas From The Family"...
I have to admit, it is pretty damn funny in my head, but I am sleep deprived and mentally exhausted- everything is pretty damn funny at this point.

Cotton Eye Joe. Just typing it gets that garbage pile stuck in my head.
+1 to Dave Matthews and throw in Blues Traveler too. Makes me want to punch something.
I love me some Herb Alpert, though. This is hanging above my couch.

Herb Alpert, Underachiever:
1. The "A" in "A&M Records."
2. "Alpert's musical accomplishments include five No. 1 albums and 28 albums total on the Billboard Album chart, nine Grammy Awards, fourteen platinum albums, and fifteen gold albums. Alpert has sold 72 million records worldwide."
3. "In 1966, over 13 million Alpert recordings were sold, outselling the Beatles." 1966! Outsold the Beatles!
A complete disappointment to his parents, but he soldiered on...

Rap so-called music
It wouldn't be as bad if there was a requirement that it be an instrumental.

It exists and falls under hip-hop.
Rapping is one of the elements of hip-hop, but you rarely hear anything that I would consider music on the radio. Most of what gets awards and airplay isn't part of hip-hop, its an abbreviation for the word, cRAP!
PM me or start a new thread if you want some names of some turntablists and producers who actually put out good music.
I'd be interested in some suggestions to check out.

Mercifully, the factory that I work at quit playing music over the PA system about a decade ago. It wasn't too bad when it was just variety every day, but someone had thought up 'theme days'. So all day Tuesdays was 100% country. And not the tolerable country of old, but it was whatever the new country is classified as. That was rough. I was super annoyed at first, but not having to deal with any type of holiday music also outweighs the negative. I couldn't hear much through the earplugs over my press hammering away anyway, but when I was in a less loud environment a handful of years ago, there was a point where hearing "Little Drummer Boy" made my eye twitch.

Yeah, after the first million times you hear them they get annoying.
Basically anything that was from the disco era. But there's two songs that I really loathe, one modern, 7 years old. The other from the disco era, Mcarthur park. For me the lyrics doesn't make sense, and that is deal breaker for me
I'm with you on MacArthur Park. Absolutely hate it!!
* edit: Just went back to page 1 and checked....yep I listed it. Blech, I hate it...
Well according to Pavement he talks like a normal guy.
Btw there better not be any pavement songs on this thread!

Disco definitely sucks. But, for the record, “MacArthur Park” wasn’t a product of the Disco Era. People of a certain age probably remember the Donna Summer version, but the song was written, by Jimmy Webb, and originally recorded, by Richard Harris, almost ten years earlier.
Webb has explained in interviews over the years that the lyrics were simply observations of things he saw at various times in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles while hanging out there with his then girlfriend. The cake left in the rain was at the wedding of a couple who had the misfortune of having it start to rain during the proceedings.
Even with some background information to provide context, MacArthur Park is a weird song. It was very popular at the time, however. I was a college student in ‘68-‘69 when the song was popular. Along with “In-a-Gadda-Davida” MacArthur Park could be heard almost anywhere on campus at any time of the day or night.
The psychedelic period of rock ‘n’ roll certainly produced some musical oddities.

I was unaware Donna Summer covered it. I hate her version too.....even though I've never heard it.

In fact I hate everything from Green Day, can't stand that nasal voice of the singer.
