Turn that Music down!!

[02ducky]

Had an opportunity to rent a car recently for work and it had a Sirius Satellite radio system. Needless to say I flipped through the radio channels and discover there were specific channels for music from the 40's, 50's, 60's all the way through current 2013 music. Got me thinking about the evolution of music and that got me thinking of the many times my parents (mostly my dad) would tell me to turn that music down (turn that shit off). Listening to some of the new stuff I realize that I am at the stage in my life.

How old were you when certain music just became noise to you? I should include that I love music, grew up with Jimi Hendricks, the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Metallica and still enjoy music that is played on 93.3.

Still like my Music and like some of the new bands as well. Never been a big rap fan although I do own some and most of the "Pop" songs these days using autotune make them all sound the same. And one must have quality to go along with that quantity. You make think that BOSE POS sounds good but it sucks big time.

I miss the days when music was made by musicians, not computers or some pre-fabbed money machine designed to woo the population of 14 year olds.

I'm a card carrying member of the "turn that shit down" club but not because I don't like the music. It's more that I don't like the fact that people feel the need to play it so loud that I have to hear it. You like a certain song? Awesome. Good for you. But what the fuck makes you think I want to listen to it? Turn that shit down. And, while you're at it, pull your pants up, turn your hat around, and slow the fuck down. If you left for your job at McDonald's a little earlier you wouldn't have to be in such a hurry. Fucktard.

I'm right there with you on all of that!!! It's not that I don't necessarily like the music someone else is playing, but when I have to turn my radio up to the point of my ears bleeding if I want to hear what I have on the radio over their sub-woofer it's a bit much.

Sympathy for the Devil , The Bomber, and other songs like that are on and it's turned up to 11.

Music died when disco came along, then picked up again.

93.3 sucks now a dayz. While it offers music other stations don't play, it is worlds away from it's beginnings / sounds of 25 years ago. Outside of the music, it's like any othe rFM sound

Odd this topic came up as i was talking to mary moses (former 80's KTCL, NOT 93.3THE POINT! dj) last night about a few tracks she was "spinning" , over on kfrc. How her musical choices then opened up different venues of sound (world, and local) that would have and are still not played on the usual fm stations.
Example: Mumford and Son, while receiving airplay on FM today was played 3 years ago on krfc and kcsu.

The ability to listen to college radio opened up lots of venues music wise over the years. Add to that KTCL back in the 80's & 90's when they were a small ft. collins area indy sound. Or what i refer to as the way FM radio use to be. Those sounds that did not, or do not fit the AMERICAN TOP 40 COOKIE CUTTER format

Another great listen (if you can get it over the air ) is AM RADIO1190 CU's station.

My philosophy is that people with the worst taste in music have to play it the loudest. That said, I like to crank it once in a while.

I can do without POP rock/country/alternative...

Music died when Elvis came along.

I remember hating the talk radio my dad listened to. Then just after high school I started listening to the same talk radio. Now I no longer like talk radio and only listen to NPR.

As far as the actual question, my dad would complain about us watching rap videos on MTV the most, but anything loud enough would get complaints. My dad actually asked me to play Doin It Well by L.L. Cool J. I thought he was checking the lyrics and was going to take it from me. I think he actually liked the song and wanted to hear it. He actually tried to listen to things I liked sometimes, and he liked and listened to 93.3 before I did. My dad introduced me to Collective Soul even. He was never a big fan of the "oldies" because "there will never be new songs."
