Good idea, bad implementation
Yahoo! News - Michigan's 'Hold' Music Gets Much Hipper
Hip? Last time I knew, music from the 50's and 60's was not 'hip.' In fact, I think I'd rather hear some crappy elevator music that I don't recognize than an uber-shitty version of a good beatles song or an uber-shitty version of a bad freaking Beach Boys song.
Then again, now that I've memorized the Capital One hold music-and it is truly awful, this I guarantee you-maybe it's time for a change.
When you come down to it, I guess any music that is super-popular is going to suck. It's just the law of humanity. Mainstream musical taste is only as good as the lowest common denominator.
Case in point? Britney Spears. Need I say more?
