- mrbubby, on 06/17/2008, -4/+247I was once in a bar and a dude played Enrique Iglesias "Hero" and then his friend hi fived him for his selection with total sincerity. I'm pretty sure if Enrique Iglesias was there, even he would have called them gay.
- Falldog, on 06/18/2008, -2/+187You're doing it all wrong.
These songs are meant to be played by drunk people for drunk people. (Remember the whole part about being in a bar?) From your article it's obvious you didn't write it while while drunk, hence your logic is deeply flawed. - mecharabbit, on 06/18/2008, -0/+153You may knock that song down, but it will get back up again. You're never gonna keep it down.
- Kanuhduh, on 06/17/2008, -10/+154Those are some good song, though..
- anaesthetica, on 06/17/2008, -5/+138Internet enabled jukeboxes are the best for the casual bar music terrorist. If you really want to kill the vibe in a bar, select all those 15-20 minute completely inappropriate songs with bizarre space jams in the middle.
A good selection to start with includes:
- Pink Floyd's "Echoes" and both of their "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" tracks.
- Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray", sixteen minutes of distortion and feedback
- Anything by Godspeed You Black Emperor! will have half the bar willing to commit suicide at the end of the 20-30 minute cello drone
- The 25 minute live version of Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin, which is mostly noise throughout the middle as Jimmy Page hits his guitar at random with a violin bow
- Any live Phish jams you can find--most of their tracks will last over 15 minutes at least, reaching 30+ if you know what you're looking for
I'd love to hear others' suggestions for maudlin/spacey 15+ minute tracks to search for in the future when I want to kill a bar's vibe. - inactive, on 06/18/2008, -3/+110NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
- homah, on 06/18/2008, -4/+110what the *****. i love journey, especially when performed by amateurs in bars.
- GregFD3S, on 06/18/2008, -10/+109I would listen to any of those songs before I willingly listen to ***** rap, like "Shake that laffy taffy" or "Crank that souljah boy".
***** Rap == Any rap music produced after 1996. - KMyHero, on 06/17/2008, -12/+106Thank GOD they didn't put Chumbawamba on there. I don't how I could live without that instant classic "Tub Thumping." PISSSSSSSSSSING THE NIGHT AWAYYYYYYY! Someone piss in my eyeball because I'd rather have full blown AIDS than listen to that song again.
- StanleyKoolPrik, on 06/18/2008, -3/+89The author is trying way too hard to be the cool cynic but he reeks of a snarky douchebag. Besides, Journey and alcohol go together like eggs and bacon.
- serif69, on 06/18/2008, -8/+94Buried for Piano Man, Hotel California, Don't Stop Believin'. and Sweet Home Alabama. I can't think of a better "***** sing-along" playlist (add on "Glory Days" and "Livin' On a Prayer"). Bars exist to serve people alcohol, and if you complain about any of these songs, you haven't consumed enough of it.
- CYR1X, on 06/18/2008, -0/+83What kind of bar were you in?
- Miamisun, on 06/18/2008, -2/+73I play Hotel California to get the most bang for my buck. Then i play it 6 more times in a row to annoy the ***** out of everyone in the bar.
- Phil8, on 06/18/2008, -2/+66Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeebird
- Chainheart, on 06/18/2008, -7/+67Band - Title of Song
- Avaseal, on 06/18/2008, -1/+54A) You can never hear Piano Man too many times at a bar
B) Where the hell is "It's Raining Men"? you know...for the gay bars.....that i've never been to....that one time when I was really bored...back in '85 - JonTheGoose, on 06/18/2008, -0/+52NEVER GONNA SHAVE YOUR PIE
- Jenovaside, on 06/18/2008, -3/+50why must I cry(no, this is not rickroll)

I bet you can't sit though that whole song without gauging you're ears out. - smallestmills, on 06/18/2008, -0/+43I love to play songs that ***** up the atmosphere and pay the extra 50 cents or whatever to bump my song to the front of the pack. People get really pissed, especially if they had just spent 20 minutes at the jukebox trying to find the perfect mood music for their girls night out/after arena concert night out/3rd date. Ha on them.
- bearcat8543, on 06/18/2008, -8/+47did they HONESTLY just say that santana is washed up. this list instantly loses credibility after that. buried.
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -4/+42Something tells me "Mr ***** Taco" got blown off while these songs were playing, hence his adversion to them.
The blog was poorly written and he seems rather repetitive in his gripes. - bxblox, on 06/18/2008, -5/+41Every bar should play "Everybody Hurts" at closing time.
- eeevildictator, on 06/18/2008, -2/+342112 by Rush of course!
- Coolmatt49, on 06/18/2008, -1/+31Ooo...I like that song.
- Coolmatt49, on 06/18/2008, -4/+34NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN
- dsmx, on 06/18/2008, -0/+29Worth digging just because they had the decency to put it on 1 page.
- 22catches, on 06/18/2008, -2/+30Opinion as to why Band / Song is awesome. Insult aimed at previous poster.
- Shenanigans, on 06/18/2008, -3/+30NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND DESERT YOU
- plainOldFool, on 06/18/2008, -2/+28But the drummer in Hanson is a chick.
- yorkhock, on 06/17/2008, -12/+37These songs are the reason why I only drink at home. (And church.)
- ElBeh, on 06/18/2008, -0/+24Never play this in a heterosexual bar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q54LJ5RsqRw
- bearythebear, on 06/18/2008, -1/+24NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU CRY
- jackspade, on 06/18/2008, -1/+23Anything by Bonjovi....gets the ugly 20-something overweight white girls crazy
- DforSpiD, on 06/18/2008, -0/+22That's just terrible...
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -4/+25Saying that Santana is a washed up guitarist is the equivalent of Michael Jordan being a washed up ball player...they still own their respective courts
- skankyBacon, on 06/18/2008, -1/+22Lists like these ("You should like stuff less") are lame. Like it's so much cooler to sit there seething because you think your musical tastes put you "above" it. I'd rather be the person enjoying it all.
- CrackyJSquirrel, on 06/18/2008, -0/+21** Hold me close now Tony Danzaaaaaa ***
- TrevorBelmont, on 06/18/2008, -1/+22No mention of Stairway To Heaven? Hey, I love it too but it means that the dance is over and your parents are outside.
- Jeremyz0r, on 06/18/2008, -1/+22"I wanna take you to a gay bar!"
- lacr, on 06/18/2008, -1/+22Truth is that when I saw the video for "Mmmbop", I thought they were all girls...
:[ - Pinkshisno, on 06/18/2008, -0/+21Wow...
- rinehart, on 06/18/2008, -8/+28Screw that list. I enjoy a little over half of those songs. Screw digg and them hating on everything that everyone likes.
- homah, on 06/18/2008, -0/+20The 17 minute version of InAGaddaDaVida by I-Ron Butterfly.
- ichbeineinrcg, on 06/18/2008, -0/+19That song is by America, and not liking it makes you a GOD DAMNED TERRORIST!
- headzoo, on 06/18/2008, -0/+18I was thinking "American Pie" as soon as I started reading the list. Another one that I'm sick of hearing is The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Maybe you don't hear it at all where you live, but around here people play it at least 5 times at night.
Oh, and don't forget Margaritaville. That really needs to be retired. - VeggieLane, on 06/18/2008, -1/+19i am sorry but the unoriginal blogger has no idea what he/it is talking about....
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -3/+21Pretty sure playing The End of The World As We Know It doesn't make you hip. It was in Independence Day.
- insomniac8400, on 06/18/2008, -1/+19How did a homeless man get a recording contract?
- Devotia, on 06/18/2008, -0/+17Retort about poster's lack of musical taste and masculinity. Suggestion that poster educate himself in music theory.
- Devotia, on 06/18/2008, -0/+17I had to listen to Never Gonna Give You Up to cleanse myself after that.
