Maybe I'm out of touch

[Norm Peterson]

I don't get the Bon Jovi hostility.  Is this a youth thing?  Reading the poll comments and the references to the new music intro on the other thread, it sound like young folk will just hate a song by Bon Jovi for the basketball tunnel walk.  Is it because it's Bon Jovi?  Because he's 40 something?

 

By the way, "Out of Touch" is a classic Hall and Oates number.

Apparently you have to answer each question to vote.  So, kids, feel free to voice an opinion on question #3.

[MichHusker]

Id much prefer rock, but out of kids my age, I'm the minority. Might as well go with rap...

[Silverbacked1]

Also Norm need to add rap is okay in small doses. I call listen for awhile, but not more than maybe 5 songs in a row. But that is how I am with all music.

[Norm Peterson]

Silver, you would have me by about 5 songs in a row.  Just my personal preference but I can't listen to it.  I have ecclectic musical tastes, but that is outside my range.  

[Silverbacked1]

Mostly I listen to it if I have to take one of my son's cars. They listen to it some rap, and I don't know how to go to radio on their radios. So I either listen to their cd that is in or just turn it off. Hate driving and it is quiet so...

I think that the intro music as important to the players as it is crowd.  It's their game- they should get to decide what pumps them up. I don't mind rap/ hip hop if the song fits the subject matter.  IMO the Bon Jovi song is a buzz kill.

It should be The Blueprint by Jay-Z. Not only does it sample theme from "the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" but it speaks to the "Blueprint" of success we're layin' down, and the kids will dig it.

Whats the point of doing a poll for rap music if every response is negative? 

 

As far as the Elvis question, comparing Elvis to Bon Jovi is like comparing 2Pac to Puff Daddy.

It was a joke.

No.  Actually, comparing 2Pac to Puff Daddy is like comparing Quantum Physics with Myasthenia Gravis.

 

 

 

 

 

(I've heard of both but I don't really know anything about either.)

Which Elvis, Presley or Costello?

 

If Presley.....

 

Which one, skinny or fat?

 

It does make a difference.......

[Dean Smith]

JBJ today is not like Mick Jagger then. I know a lot of high school students today who still think the Stones are cool but will ask, "Who is the old guy in the spandex?"

In an effort to be "helpful," I pulled up on the internet what appears to be a current list of "Most Popular Songs." So, based on title, alone, (i.e., I didn't actually listen to any or look up the lyrics) here are some possibilities:

Royals by Lorde (but too much like the old baseball team in Omaha)

Roar by Katy Perry

Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus (the new Tim Miles nickname)

Hold On, We're Going Home by Drake

Applause by Lady Gaga--or maybe her "I Was Born This Way" or the one that mentions her Nebraska guy

Berzerk by Eminem

We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus (sorry about Miley twice)

That's My Kind of Night by Luke Bryan

Get Lucky by Daft Punk

Treasure by Bruno Mars

Cups by Anna Kendrick (seems like such a supportive song)

It Goes Like This by Thomas Rhett

Night Train by Jason Aldean

Demons by Imagine Dragons

Can't Hold Us by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Redneck Crazy by Tyler Farr (for the games when "Git 'er Done" shows up)

Just Give Me a Reason by Pink

Give it 2 U by Robin Thicke

Or maybe one by Taylor Swift--perhaps the one about never getting back together . . . ever.

[MichHusker]

Wow...that list just destroyed all my hopes for mankind.

[Bugeaters1]

I went to you tube to listen to the blueprint and was offended in the first 30 seconds of the song with the use of the N word and then again about 20 seconds later. Not a good song IMO.

Our problem was we weren't thinking old school enough.

Clearly we should walk out to Brahms.

Lincoln's own Denny Zager and Rick Evans.

Cip could that be the year we win a game in the dance?

I kid, I kid:)

Talking about rap as a music style is like talking about rock. Moterhead, Taylor Swift, the Stones. ACDC, and I suppose even Miley Cyrus could all qualify as rock. Rap is just as varied. Just like you might think JBJ sucks but State Radio is all that, Maybe Tyga ain't your thing but you could like Macklemore. Personally I'm down with the old school PE & KRS1

[slowneasy]

I am an old fart who will probably never get the opportunity to visit your wonderful arena, but choosing Lorde's  "Royal" would be cool because she is a Kiwi. Plus the lyrics are reasonably intelligent. When push comes to shove though, playing good solid rock songs as an intro will do the trick for everyone. Australian Rugby League had Tina Turner's "Simply the Best"  as their theme song at the end of  80's which worked a treat with all ages
