My Dad always plays Leonard Cohen in the car, the same tape over and over. And he can be a tad depressing at the best of times 🙂 Also in my gym they play really bad dance music, this supposedly gets you more motivated, personally I would prefer if they put on a radio station. ---

In the late 60’s I rode in a buddy’s car from Monrovia, CA to Sunnyvale to visit a mutual friend and his wife. I had to listen to Wolf Man Jack on a clear channel radio station for 400 miles going and 400 miles back. It was then current 60’s rock-n-roll, and I hated it. Strange, but I miss it now (probably in comparison with what’s become popular _since_ the 60’s). Kinda miss the late Wolf Man, too. Hard for even me to believe, but I actually look for that stuff now. 😃 ---

On my last trip to New Orleans, my boss insisted that I accompany him on a Dixieland Jazz riverboat cruise. 4 hours straight and no where to hide…:eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/music-you-have-been-forced-to-listen-to/109041.md?page=2)
