Seriously if you are going to play your shitty pop music loudly Sunday morning....

I will make you suffer.

I have a great sound system and I own Barry Manilow's Greatest hits. I'm not afraid to turn that up loud.

And that's probably the best of the annoying music to drive 20-something's batshit crazy. Oh and the next door neighbor on my other side is deaf so she won't care.

We were in the car, stopped at s light and there was a biker behind us. He had music blaring. Barry Manilow's "I made it through the rain," lol!

I've a hell of a system, as well...and a really diverse music collection that includes some "acquired taste" (shall we say) stuff.

That's how you fight pop music.

Not with more pop music.

The kid next door was playing it outside on his boombox over and over at about 9 in the morning after I had pulled an all nighter. When I yelled at him to turn it down, he turned it up. I put on some Jefferson airplane and he turned it up. I put on Hendrix Purple Haze at 10 on the dial. He turned it off and went back inside his house

In bird season, the dove and quail hunters showed up and banged away. I tried many times to explain that the
pond was well within 1/4 mile of my house and that it was illegal to hunt there. I was met by pointed shotguns more than once.
So I backed up my truck, put Hendrix on full blast, and the birds flew away.
The Game Department finally put up no hunting signs.

playing some REALLY bad country - western REALLY loud, one quiet Sunday afternoon. You know the type; "My girl ran off with my horse and the dog wrecked the pickup and I'm hungover" - type stuff. Off key, and guitar out of tune.

I fired up the stereo system, cranked it up to 8, and put on "Ride of The Valkyrie" for a few minutes. They got the hint.

The next step was "Tubular Bells" at 9.

If they didn't get the idea after that, I was going Nuclear: Bagpipe music at 10.

Did I mention that the last two stages of my home-made stereo amplifier require a substantial amount of liquid nitrogen when going 'all the way'?

I like opera (except Verdi), but most people don't. Especially 20-somethings who like shitty pop. Go with any of the Wagner Ring operas, or if you really want to freak them out, Alban Berg's Wozzeck. If you don't like this stuff yourself you will probably have to turn up the sound system and leave for awhile, but I guarantee they'll just hate it.

... and plug your ears. Or put on headphones and listen to some Zep on your computer while the neighbors suffer. Really, some "Greatest Records of the 70's" would have them burning you as a witch.

They have the picture to prove it. Barry has had a little too much work done.
