Whose music is most suited to torture?

[milestogo]

i.e., you are locked in a cell and forced to listen to their music 24 hours a day.

[dchill]

1. Anything by Tiny Tim.

[Wingus Dingus]

2. Crocodile Rock could do it, on a loop.

I like some Elton John, but that song is a war crime.

[True Dough]

3. Heavy metal for me

Can you imagine having to listen to something like this for 24 hours? Shoot me now!!

[Ocelot II]

4. The Eagles and The Doobie Brothers.

[Brother Buzz]

5. The Shaggs, Baby!

For some truly demented reasons, Frank Zappa loved this band.

[underpants]

6. Pat Benatar

I’d create nuclear codes to make that stop

[kysrsoze]

7. Dave Matthews.

[keithbvadu2]

8. Ted Nugent with Mike Huckabee

[Best_man23]

9. Twangy Country

But most notably, Faron Young and Ferlin Husky.

[yonder]

10. Tin Pan Alley stuff does me in - Sinatra, Crosby, etc.

Though strangely enough, I can tolerate Tony Bennett, briefly.

[Binkie The Clown]

11. Anything by The Shaggs

[skypilot]

12. Drake

[Harker]

13. ELO. Styx.

I could go on...

[Archae]

26. HEY!

I like both of those groups.

[Harker]

28. No doubt we have plenty of common ground!

As I said, I could go on, but I'll just leave it there.

[Chakaconcarne]

14. Easy Street - Collapsable Hearts Club

On loop?

[Ron Obvious]

15. Love is Blue

Now I actually like the "song", and even the actually-sung French version "L'amour est blue", but the question reminded me of an episode of the TV series Millennium in which that song was played 24/7 to torture prisoners.

Interesting show.

For me personally, it would be either rap/hip-hop or country-western.

[milestogo]

16. Kelly Clarkson

[beaglelover]

17. Billie Eilish

[Otto_Harper]

18. Brian Hyland - Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

[lpbk2713]

19. KISS

[Tikki]

20. Anything with a long guitar solo.

If you can't get your message across in 3 minutes you're taking me hostage.


Tikki

[Harker]

29. Funny you should mention that...

my two favorites are both very short. The Cars, "Magic", and Blue Oyster Cult, "Goin' Through the Motions."

There's a lot to be said for brevity.

[Tikki]

33. Listening to a Cars' song always makes me feel like I'm on to something important.

Tikki
Ben Orr's voice...so great.

[Harker]

34. That's a beautiful way to put it.

Yes. Ben Orr was quite special, lead or harmony.

[FoxNewsSucks]

21. "The Pulse " channel on sirius/xm

Or the Top 10 hit channel.

They're both torture

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

22. Just a thought

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_torture

[jcgoldie]

23. both kinds

Country AND Western.

[Bantamfancier]

24. LOL

Thanks, I needed that.

[NightWatcher]

25. Paul McCartney's Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime

This thread is over

[Harker]

30. It should never be spoken of.

It's screamworthy.

[Archae]

27. I happen to like most of the songs listed above.

I like disco too!

I only detest Steve Miller Band, Carpenters, church music, gangsta (c)rap, "crying country," polkas and "death metal."

A few others, but I can't remember what right now.

[CTyankee]

35. I LOVED Disco. A gay woman I know says very strongly that it was music for her community.

[traitorsgalore]

31. Country music killed the Martians in Mars Attacks

Ack Ack!

[sakabatou]

32. Whoever created the Barney song
