I just cant sit in a bar and listen to 'bar music' So, I alway use the TouchTones app and pay the $5-10 to 'control's the playlist.

Nobody knows its me... but damn I always feel like 90% of the bar dislikes it and I hear maybe only 10% who actually enjoy what I pick.
One time I had some guy going around the bar ANGRY as fuck I somebody (Me) put on Deftones "When Girls Telephone Boys" (admittedly...a little to hard for that bar lol)

Tonight picks why I had dinner and a some beers in order..

Tool- Patient
Tool- Push It
Neutral Milk Hotel- Aeroplane
B-52's- Give me Back my Man
REM- Day Sleeper
Interpol- PDA
At the Drive In- 198D
Joy Division- Disorder
Slint- Breadcrumb Trail
Melvins- Honey Bucket
Melvins- Revolve
Kyuss- Demon Cleaner
Deftones- This Place is Death

Needless to say I think I made the bar unhappy...
I thought I strung together a badass playlist for $10 lol

 

[Insane Metal]

People sure like having you around in bars

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Just pick all of Trout Mask Replica one day.

That should get the party started.

 

[lock2k]

Didn't even know it was possible to do this.

 

[Shifty]

Tool is your opener?

I like Tool, but you really are That Guy, OP.

 

[Weilthain]

This is why I don’t go to bars anymore. joking not really joking.

I made my home “the bar” and I am basically like cartman with his own theme park now.

 

[bronk]

Touchtunes has some pretty good death metal. That'll really piss people off. Better than Freebird for the 1000th time.

 

[Tesseract]

i'm the guy who resets the juke and plays when the man comes around

come to our corner and shoot your pool shot homey, put a 20 on the table

 

[Kagey K]

I miss the day of actual jukeboxes where you put your money in, picked the songs and had to wait in the queue.

Then again I haven’t been out to a bar for a very long time, unless its Karaoke, which is a whole different level of pain.

 

[LegendOfKage]

Tool- Push It
Neutral Milk Hotel- Aeroplane
B-52's- Give me Back my Man

As someone who enjoys all these songs, WTF were you thinking?

At least you weren't as mean as you could have been:

 

[Constant Flux]

You have terrible taste in music. If I was in the bar, you would have pissed me off too.

 

[Kagey K]

What happens when you pay each other to be first?
when you both get in the same bar how do you decide the playlist!

We will sit and enjoy our time there in silence. F the jams.

 

[AV]

I'd love to be in that bar. I imagine the majority of people wouldn't.

Take it to the edge and start playing skits like Message to Harry Manback. That'll freak 'em out.

 

[DESTROYA]

So your that guy?

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Are you the sort of person who puts on a song for a friend or group of friends and says "wait- just lis- just listen to this part- just list- okay it's this part-" several times during the song?

Because if you are...

 

[Macapala]

I would totally play classical music just to piss people off. Get some Funeral March going.

Just put Sweet Child O Mine on repeat. Everyone loves that song. Actually throw some Queen in as well.

 

[Foamy]

I accidentally tripped on the power cord. Fight me.

 

[Deleted member 713885]

Didn't even know it was possible to do this.

It's an app "TouchTones"
Most bars where I live use it. You just open it and it displays the bar your in. Like $5 for 6 songs.

Tool is your opener?

I like Tool, but you really are That Guy, OP.

Haha, was just the openers..and they were slower songs!

Are you the sort of person who puts on a song for a friend or group of friends and says "wait- just lis- just listen to this part- just list- okay it's this part-" several times during the song?

Nah, just hate drinking and listening to shit music.
It's usually 70's rock, dad-rock, or country.



Worse thing I've ever done is set it to play Televison "Marquee Moon" a bunch of times in a row.
Great song...once.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Pop pleb

 

[Dark Star]

Tool and Deftones ? Hell yes. I would totally frequent a bar that played late 90's / early 2000's progressive rock and alternative metal.

OP has GOAT-tier taste in music

 

[Kamina]

OP at the bar:

 

[lock2k]

You have terrible taste in music. If I was in the bar, you would have pissed me off too.

Tell us what you like. I'm curious.

 

[yeahokaywhatever]

Neutral Milk Hotel doesn't really feel like bar music. The local brewery near me put that record on and fuck that depressing ass record.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Whenever my buddy goes to the bar when it's almost time to leave, he plays Christmas Music, nSync, Backstreet Boys and Miley Cyrus. Just to watch the chaos and see if they will unplug the jukebox. Ultimately it's money well spent.

what a legend

 

[ResilientBanana]

what a legend

His bar trivia team name is "uncles with benefits".

I've known him my whole life. He's certainly got a great sense of humor.

My young padawan, I spend probably $30 a week on bar jukeboxes. Here's my top plays

Hall & Oates - I Can't Go For That
Dwight Yoakam - Guitars, Cadillacs
The Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize
Michel Jackson - Billie Jean
Wham! - Everything She Wants
Jamiroquai - Alright
Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dark Necessities
Corey Hart - Sunglasses at Night
Kavinsky - Nightcall
Depeche Mode - Strangelove
Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight
Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day
Billy Idol - Eyes Without a Face

Songs that I like but are not good for bars:

- Nine Inch Nails. Anything from them.
- Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode. Has a minute long outro.
- Anything too electronic. Some bars don't have good bass or they play the jukebox music too loud and the bass is ridiculous. Stick to vocals, acoustics, and percussions.
- Anything over 5 minutes. Please fuck off.

Whenever my buddy goes to the bar when it's almost time to leave, he plays Christmas Music, nSync, Backstreet Boys and Miley Cyrus. Just to watch the chaos and see if they will unplug the jukebox. Ultimately it's money well spent.

At the bars I go to, they will just skip your song with a remote if they find it obnoxious.

"But I paid for tha-"

Nope. Fuck you.

Most of it yes, but I didnt want to put anything to hard on I guess.

I usually go with..



This ones a banger

They have a 'master control's behind the bar.
I've seen them just turn it down or, if its offensive, skip it

 

[Deleted member 713885]

These are my stats this far.

Last nights last plays.

My top songs. (I got into a drunk Greta Fleetwood kick last summer...)

And top artist.

(I blame my GF for the Lisa Loeb..)

And the bars top played songs...and why I play my own shit!

 

[RavageX]

The bar I went to, it was almost always Nickelback, kid rock or freebird. The same Nickelback songs...the same kid rock songs. Oh, and that hinder song. And the same AC/DC songs.

There were so many other bands and such to choose. Anytime I played stuff(metal, hard rock, other classic rock) People seem to like it, but had no idea about most of the bands.

 

[brap]

If you ever want to clear out a bar

You have terrible taste in music. If I was in the bar, you would have pissed me off too.

yeah needs less buttrock

That’s a good list. Gets the girls up and moving, helps mix the club up a bit.

 

[Weilthain]

It’s even better if they have the music videos aswell.

my go to is this (I say go to, i did it once)

 

[highrider]

I think we may finally have a solid lead on the declining birth rates in the west.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Patrick Bateman would be proud.

Are you the sort of person who puts on a song for a friend or group of friends and says "wait- just lis- just listen to this part- just list- okay it's this part-" several times during the song?

Because if you are...

You like Huey Lewis & The News?

Dwight Yoakam - Guitars, Cadillacs
The Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize
Michel Jackson - Billie Jean
Wham! - Everything She Wants

Depeche Mode - Strangelove
Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight
Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day
Billy Idol - Eyes Without a Face

This playlist is more commercial, therefore more satisfying in a narrower way.

 

[Sub_Level]

Patrick Bateman would be proud.

Do you like Phil Collins? This is Sussudio.

 

[Constant Flux]

Tell us what you like. I'm curious.

N*Sync.

 

[Pejo]

OP, while I feel for you as someone else with the best musical taste in the room, nobody wants to go to a bar and listen to Neutral Milk Hotel. They're probably there as a way to try to connect with people, not kill themselves.

 

[Rest]

As someone who enjoys all these songs, WTF were you thinking?

At least you weren't as mean as you could have been:

That's the first time I've ever laughed at John Mulaney. Why isn't he that funny any more?

 

[funkygunther]

You're playing Daysleeper at a bar? People are trying to have fun. No wonder you're not popular.

 

[ScarletSpider]

I know a guy that likes to do a shitload of blow then go to bars and play "Who Let the Dogs Out" over and over until people get pissed.
