Classic rock radio stations who play "all the classic hits from the 60's, 70's and 80's"

All of those stations have around a dozen songs they play on repeat and all of them have the same dozen songs. There are hundreds of songs they could play that fit their description but nope, they're all playing that same dozen songs over and over again only broken up by adverts for funeral plans, over 60's cruises and incontinence pants because they know their listeners aren't young.

 

They know that all their listeners have reached the age that by the time they've played a dozen songs, we've forgotten what the first one was anyway. Buying any more than a dozen would just be a waste of money.

 

Now what were we talking about again ?

But would people shell out money to buy that music?

 

Every year I go to a progressive metal festival along with 9,999 other weirdos who can headbang perfectly in time to constantly changing time signatures. Im positive 95% play at least one instrument. 

There's definitely a market for prog music made for musicians.

White Egg Terror might have some mileage as a band name...

Made me think of a couple of songs by the utterly bonkers and amazing Oaf: The Terrors, and Eggbound.

Celebrities who applaud themselves on quiz shows, or on chat shows when they are introduced.

 

Seems to be more and more common.

 

I mean, where the hell did this ultimate expression of vanity first become acceptable ???

 

Rant over. Happy New Year everyone.

New Year.

I've not read all of the posts, but the vast majority of them seem to be about things people do not like rather than prejudices. The definition of a prejudice is "opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience." 

 

Here's mine. Bass players have poor reading comprehension ...🫣

Sliced Ham tastes better in a sandwich when it is all crumpled and rumpled up, rather than laid flat.

"Classic rock radio stations play all 60 classic hits for people in their 70's and 80's"

 

Fixed it for you . . . .

Talking of irrational prejudices, I remember talking to my Mrs about someone or other on't telly (can't remember who).

We both said we didn't like her for some unfathomable reason - we couldn't work out what it was until my Mrs said "she's got an annoying chin!". 

And that's what it was!
