 At our store, we have mostly dreary top-40 from the past two years. I actually enjoyed the organ music as I used to practice classical organ music when I had more spare time. I get a kick out of the "The Blob" by the Five Blobs and a really good cover of the Ramrods' "Ghost Riders in the Sky."

 No Halloween music at our store. Just the same dreary repetitive mix played for years and years.  I'm actually looking forward to Christmas music because it means less of our regular play list. 

A few "new" songs (from the last 5 years or so) are gradually introduced as time passes, but most of them being played over the last year are especially depressing, annoying, irritating, as much fun as listening to someone scratching a blackboard with their fingernails.

I'm really amazed at how it is possible for the In Store Audio Network to accidentally pick SO many songs for their playlist in which the singer/song has either one, or some, or all of these characteristics:

1) a bad or vaguely unpleasant-sounding voice

2) sings just barely on-key

3) Screeches, whines, screams, shrieks or moans at least some of the lines within the song's length

4) has chord / pitch progressions that appear to have been written by a 5-year old child 

5) repeat one particular short verse (or line) at least 5 to 20 times and consider that to be great music! 

6) 70% to 100% of the lyrics are unintelligible 

7) You feel worse after hearing it than you did before. Except for the somewhat 'good' feeling that "it's finally over! Alright!" 

 

I know some of you "rockers" won't like this song, but to me it is uplifting and easy on the ears. I wish Kroger would put a few good tunes like this on their playlist....

From 1975, LOVE by Lyn Paul: An under-rated singer with a really good voice. Please humor me and Give it a listen     >
