[Music] Awful Music You have heard and had to put up with

[MTSeagulls]

I remember one. When working in Bunratty I would have a drive of around 40 minutes each way.
The local radio station is Limerick 95FM which I guess is the equivalent of Southern FM or whatever it may be called now (I left Sussex in 2001)
Anyway without fail, during every single journey, morning and night, they played Can't Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake.
I hate it.

Late 70's and a cheap holiday in Greece which included a 4.5 hour coach transfer. The Coach driver put on a cassette (ask your parents) of The Steve Miller Band, Fly like an Eagle, an album I quite liked and actually owned at the time. However, it was the only cassette he owned and the album is under 40 mins long.

For those not of a mathematical bent, that means the album can be played 7 times during that journey. What was worse was when we had the same coach, coach driver and cassette for the return trip 2 weeks later

Working behind Bar in a Northern Working Mans Club (3 mild pumps, 2 bitter NO lager by order of t'Committee), this horror came on the Juke box every half hour as Girlfriends and Wives had just been allowed in (Snowballs and Rum n' Pep from memory)

Taking into account your user name I once went to a gamelan concert in Indonesia. It was effing awful.

Worked the bar in The King and Queen in the early 80's. They only had 3 cassets behind the bar one of which was Rio by Duran Duran . Once is enough not twice an hour.

The absolute crock of crap that is being pumped out in Tesco at the moment, just so that they can make pre-recorded safety announcements every 10 minutes. They are STILL playing Christmas songs ffs!

No although I have overflown it a few times my username is based on my real one!

Still thinking about a worse experience than serving Rum & Peps to Chubster Wives in the Club all Saturday night while Fat Larry gave it forth every 20 minutes.

Very strange cultural experience, the Club had a Side Bar/Lounge completely unused in the week while the Main Bar with 3, yes 3 Snooker tables was wreathed in smoke and blokes necking pint after pint of Beer (mostly Mild) Monday to Friday.

At weekends they would suddenly appear in the Lounge with a jacket and tie and Mrs who would have a Babycham / Snowball / Rum and Pep while he sipped a Half despite the fact he normally sank 7-8 Pints during the week.

Oop North eh?
