I hate listening to other people's music

Yes, you will be deleted . . . but your thread will survive.

If it must survive then can it at least be dumped in MPSIMS? I’m a bit surprised that anyone responded, much less as civily as they have.

Luxury!
When I was in college we didn’t have recorded music. My roommates and I had to carry around our own harpischords, lutes and serpents to make music. Imagine three different Gregorian Chants going on in one dorm room…

We love had harpcord, lute and serpant. Ogg only had rock to beat on with stick.

Good idea.

Moved Cafe Society –> MPSIMS.

I totally agree - lame and pointless OP’s like this deserve nothing more than to be totally igno…wait, what? :confused:

I like listening to other people’s music, most of the time: often it provides me with additions to my own playlist. There are cases where it’s unacceptable: no, we are NOT playing the same smurfs song three times in a row. Because the car is mine, it’s not your dad’s car and in my car we don’t play the same song twice in a row, never mind thrice.

The most extreme case was going to a concert where the header was Marilyn Manson (which I’ve never been able to stomach and my friends liked), but where the second group in the 14-or-so-groups list was these new guys from California, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Luxury! In our day we were lucky to beat on rock, without stick… or rock.

You had rocks? Back when I was young we would have given our right arm to have rocks.

But you tell these kids today and they don’t believe you.

Kids these days, with their fancy rocks and sticks and stuff.

Just out of curiosity, what are your tastes in music that your roommates are so fortunate to be blessed with?

You had right arms? We had to beat ourselves on the head with our left leg, as there were no other limbs of any sort back then!

Other people.

What a bunch of pricks.

I agree. Everybody should just listen to what I listen to. Lots of Kesha for all!

uh that’s Ke$ha…pffft some fan you are:D

You had left legs? Fancy stuff. Back then we were just amoebas with pseudopods. Kids these days just don’t understand.

This is harder to answer than you might imagine. Of course, the OP did not explain the whole truth (does it ever?). There’s a reason why my roommates must listen to their music through headphones and I don’t. Mainly, because they listen to a lot more music than I do. They actually have playlists on their computers! They listen to their music a lot! I do not. I listen to music in a very occasional and somewhat haphazard manner. I don’t have a playlist. I am musically retarded, which some may see as a character flaw and others as a disability. (I actually did have a playlist on my last computer and I’m pretty sure it was just coincidence and not an actual act of God when that computer was taken out by a lightning hit on my house… :eek:).

So my roommates are subjected to my musical choices only every couple months or so when I go on a musical bender. Yes, it’s generally fueled by alcohol. Don’t judge me! So, yes - on those occasions, they must listen to a lot of APP (as previously stated), Chris Isaak (artist of choice for depressives and who doesn’t love “Wicked Game”?), some Enya, Emer Kenny, Fiona Joyce (“Cry Over You” gets a lot of play time) or other Celtic type tunes, with a few dashes of Dire Straits, Queen, Cheap Trick and yes, even Paul Simon, to name just a few. I tend to vacillate wildly in my choices - picking random selections from YouTube because I don’t have a great deal of ‘brand loyalty’.

Roommates haven’t complained. Probably for two reasons. One is that they frequently like my choices. Two, because, like I said, it doesn’t happen often enough to be really annoying and three, hey I’m the landlord! I pretty much get to do what I want 'cuz its my house! If they can’t deal with it, they are free to move out. If I listened to music as frequently as they do, I would probably have headphones! As it is, they have to listen to my audible books far more often than music - and I don’t play those all that loudly.

So, no need to feel too much pain for my roommates’ sake - they seem to deal with my little idiosyncrasies just fine. :slight_smile:

I’ll give you a “Hallelujah” on that.

In all fairness, you seem to have the mentality of a 15 year old (from 1977, based on your musical tastes).

That is good enough for me. :slight_smile:
