    Default WTF do people listen to this shit?

    I have just had the WORST day, and now all I'm trying to do is relax with some red wine and try to let it all go, but it's hot and I have to keep the windows open. No worries, typically I'd enjoy the breeze and the sounds from outside. But my neighbor, whose open window is less than five feet from mine, is playing STYX at top volume. Fucking STYX! I didn't think anyone but my mother liked Styx.

    HOW, HOW, HOW am I supposed to relax and let this terrible day go when I can't hear myself think over "LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADAY!" and "COME SAIL AWAY! COME SAIL AWAY! COME SAIL AWAY WITH MEEEEEEEE!" at volume level 24?!

    Does ANYONE besides this neighbor and my mother actually like this shit? Do THEY even like it, or are they just trying to torture everyone around them on purpose?

    Okay, this is weird. We've lived here since September and this same neighbor blasts his shitty music all the time. Tonight is the first time I bitch about it on the internet, and ten minutes after I posted, he knocked on my door to introduce himself. He gave me his number, with his name and his wife's, and told me to call if his music was ever too loud. "We like to have a good time! But we don't want to bother nobody!"

    *sigh* He was so nice about it, I told him it was fine, no problem. Weird timing though.

    I guess he can grit his teeth like this when I blast Nine Inch Nails and Stevie Wonder.

    The ONLY time I've ever enjoyed a Styx song is when it was used to end the premiere episode of Freaks and Geeks.

    I have much sympathy for you

    Shitty manager I used to work for back in the day seriously loved Styx more than he loved life itself

    That is some bizarre shit

    I love my GM to death, and he f'n LOVES "Renegade". I play it as a last song sometimes, or before we open. Styx, eh, there are far worse things he could be blaring, ya know?

    I think my neighbor reads StripperWeb, LOL! Hi!

    Umm...guilty here too. I absolutely love Styx.

    Wait, let me correct myself. Everything except that freaking Mr. Roboto song.

    That was where they "jumped the shark".

    How about Winger? It seems to me I have some tracks by them on a couple of my dinosaur rock hits CDs, lol.

    That band's name keeps popping up in my mind from listening to the lyrics of that Korn 'All in the Family' remix I have.

    "You call yourself a singer? You're more like Jerry Springer, your favorite band is Winger, all you eat is Zingers. You're like a Fruity Pebble, your favorite flag is rebel..."


    Hey, that's what you need to blast back at them, lol--'All in the Family', the Dave Clark remix, or this technofied version I have that's even hotter.

    'Gettin' bucked by your Uncle Chuck...'

    Then they get really nasty, later in the song.

    I dont even remember who Styx are THANK GOODNESS! I emember that I do not like them though, lol. Ive had a fair share of neighbours with shite tastes in music though.

    Look for Extreme Noise Terror on myspace music, download and blast that to your neighbours for a while.

    That sucks .. my neighbor (in the apartment below mine) listens to some country song .. something about blue eyes and making love .. whatever, the SAME SONG every single day. Not just the same album or artist, the same exact freaking stupid song loudly and on repeat, so I feel your pain!
    Even if I were a fan of Styx (who I'm not incredibly familiar with), listening to soo much of it would get way irritating.. I've often thought about blasting the most annoying motherfuck you rap music I can find .. or perhaps just some SlipKnot or something would irritate them ..

    I once had a neighbor who played nothing but Bob Marley's "Legend" best of album, every weekend, all weekend, from like 8am to midnight. On repeat. I burned him a bunch of other reggae cd's and took them over one day as a peace offering. It didn't work. SO, he got Diamanda Galas' "Litanies Of Satan" blared at him with my big ass speakers facing his wall. I turned it on, hit repeat, and left home for the day. That pretty much ended the whole Bob Marley thing. Fuck apartment living, I will never do it again.

    I once quit a summer job because my boss wouldn't stop playing her Meatloaf album, full blast, every single day, while singing along.

    It was a farm job, so I had to be there at 7am, and as soon as I'd pull my car into the parking lot I'd hear barking dogs, probably also crying like me, and the shiteous sounds of "Do Ya LOVE ME?! OH DO YOU LOVE ME FOREVER?!?!".

    UGH. Like, everyday. I wanted to drown myself in the manure pile. So one day I said "my back hurts. I quit".

    And this crazy lady would bitch about how she never had any friends.

    Well, as long as we're talking about music we're subjected to and hate to hear;

    Will someone please tell the bow-tie wearing dork in the office near me to turn down his freaking opera?

    I can't do it because I'm low on the food chain, but I thought maybe one of you could do it for me...please?

    Ugh..at least you can understand his music. My neighbor accross the street plays hard core reggae(the kind that just sounds like the same 4 notes played over and over for hours). And you cant understand a word..I dont think its in English(he's from haiti) but I honestly couldnt say for sure. He cranks it up so you can hear it 2 streets away....thats when we all know he's been smoking!

    As soon as we all hear the loud ass crappy music we want to appoint someone to go over and confiscate his stash....


    Dylan...give me his email..i'll send an "anonomous" message saying that I'm several offices down and can still hear it!!

    I won't be retaliating on this guy. He was so nice about it, and he doesn't do it all that often. I kind of like apartment living, hearing the neighbors going about their lives. I have another neighbor who plays the harmonica sometimes in the evening and that's pretty pleasant. I dunno, I just dig the whole urban thing.

    I did have some nightmare suitmates in college though. We shared a two-bedroom dorm suite, so they had one bedroom and I had the other one, and they were small-town sorority girls. They'd be up until four in the morning with their whole sorority in there blasting the Spice Girls, Faith Hill, and Belinda Carlisle. Sometimes they'd put "This Kiss" on repeat and play it for a couple of hours, singing along. I HATED THOSE FUCKING BITCHES. I learned how to get rid of them though... as soon as they turned the music on, I'd put on Marilyn Manson's "Anti-Christ Superstar" album and turn it all the way up. By the end of "The Beautiful People" they'd have gone somewhere else, and eventually they quit coming around altogether.
