Which tunes would you ban??

ANY tune that has the inbuilt ringtone of your phone in your pocket built in, likewise the one that has the doorbell or phone whilst listening loudly !!!

They do my head in!

So Derry Argue was, like

Anything mentioning Christmas, eg "I wish it could be a merry little white Christmas every day, so here it is, pa-rupapumpum, Santa." It wouldn't help with Land Rover-related noises, but it would help my sanity.

I've had a hissing sound that had my head on one side, trying to figure out if a tyre was deflating, but it was just tape hiss from a rotten recording of an old tune I used to listen to when I was a kid..

This was in the normal car though, I took the stereo out of the landy, couldn't hear a damned thing! Every song sounded like flap flap rumble clank whistle rattle, now I know that music doesn't sound so good these days but there are limits!

New Order, "Blue Monday". The intro sounds just like something majorly mechanical giving up!! Queen, "I want to break free", what my rear prop rear u/j sings to me on an annoyingly regular basis! Badger.

Theres a very large number of tunes that seem to have sirens in.

Always makes me concerned until i work out its only the music.

An Art Of Noise tune, Paranoimia I think, starts off with the sound of an engine trying to start, then firing, then firing again and so on, then goes into lots of dripping sounds plus the sound of tyres skidding, and a voice saying "paranoia".... Made for Landy driving!

I was commuting a couple of weeks back in the Rangie... turned up the radio to overcome the 65mph rummble.

On the way home the radio popped. Buggering thing ain't worked since. Only bright side is I'm not doing motorway miles presently.

Those mobile phone ones always get me.... none sound owt like my phone which is even more annoying because it means someone sneaked in the boot and is waiting to mug me of my £3.25 and a bit of fluff at the next set of traffic lights. Mind you I'd like to see the look on there faces as they slide down the dog guard only to be impailed upon one of my projects I've been meaning to pull out of the boot for a while :-)

Bit off topic and not LR related but ....

Whilst driving my bosses Jag some time ago and listening to Tubular Bells on the tape (gives you some idea of the time scale :>)) I was all alone in the car a some IDIOT in the back seat said 'GRAND PIANO' and I nearly went off the road looking for who it was.

MAB

Amen, I'll agree to that. Scares the crap out of me at least 5 times a day, thinking there's summat big and looming behind me.

So MAB was, like

"Come in, Rodney Slater on the saxophone!"

After installing a DAB radio and having my first reception dropouts in the L band I had been worried for minutes that my engine is going to blow up or something else really expensive is happening to my car. Really took me a while to realise that it is just the radio reception

Everybody who knows the funny sounds when loosing DAB reception should know what I mean *g*

Whow, I really have not heard this for years, and in fact I forgot this song, but, yeah, great example!!!

Bruce says he couldn't agree more, and while they were at it to ban Christmas.
