U.S. military interrogators have often blasted music at detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. According to the British law group Reprieve, these are among the songs they have used most frequently:
Wow, I can see myself being tortured by drowning pool…scary. That said, Meat Loaf is awesome.
I also hate metallica…except for maybe the first 3 records or so. Megadeth is much more awesome…better musicianship and political lyrics.
haha, Barney, haha
^that nearly drove me crazy when our eldest granddaughter lived with us and she was in love with barney. listened to that stuff constantly for a while. fortunately she outgrew it quickly as kids often do.
what, no Union Federal? maybe that’s just too mean.
I think I saw where Queen was included, too.
I listen to Eminem for 30 seconds and want to commit suicide; I can’t imagine what weeks and months would do to someone.
I thought Slim Shady pretty funny. Almost went to see him a few years back at the House of Blues in AC.
yo, respect he D! 313 in da house!!!
I think we should all list what would be musical torture for us specifically. I’ll start:
Matchbox 20 - any record. The thought of Rob Thomas’s voice makes me want blow their music out of my head…with a bullet.
Also, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and EVERY RAP ARTIST that has released a song in the last 5 years can all do the world a favor and die
Me, it’s childrens’ Christian music. Or Christian childrens’ music. Whatever.
Half the time they steal the melody of some unsuspecting traditional nursery rhyme and set J-E-S-U-S to Bingo was his name-o.
And there’s plenty of really tacky and corny religious stuff that gives me similar willies.
That kinda stuff makes me wanna put Rob Thomas thru my head!
Nickleback and Creed.
Talk about the Barney music, I had reason to hear a guy by the name of Raffi, who plays music for children and they supposedly love it. It sent shivers up my spine when I heard it and thought it was definitely playing down to kids on top of mediocre performance value.

I’ll second the Creed and Christian music overall. Ugh. Puke.
Yeah, I forgot to mention that I hate anyone who sings like those guys…there is a whole list of em. My friends and I have affectionately (or not) dubbed this type of singing “The White-Man’s Disease.” It is the semi-macho but also almost southern sounding(?) method of singing that was began by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder (who was original and actually good), but was then ruined by an insufferable list of imitators. There are also black men who have said white man’s disease. i.e. Hootie and the Blowfish. Creed, Nickleback, Matchbox 20, 3 doors down, and others all fall into this singing category. It is hard to describe with text…but I’m sure everyone here knows exactly the type of gut-wrenching singing I’m talking about.
They ain’t no Steve Perry, that’s fo sho.
I <3 steve perry…and his mullet and chuck taylor’s
According to the RIAA (and Wikipedia), Journey is the 28th best-selling band of all-time.
Yeah!
Play the fucking Polar Express soundtrack. They play this at work and it makes me envy the deaf.
then again…i actually like Asia…does that make me gay like they said in 40 year old virgin?
