Music

@Imperious:

Theme song for The Three Stooges and Gomer Pyle.

I love this!  :-D

@Der:

USA by far. Andrew Sisters, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland - game over!

I’d have to agree completely, but you left out Swing, Jazz, Jive and Big Band.

Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Glenn Miller, etc. that music still works.

France had Edith Piaf, but otherwise I don’t think many would choose Wagner over The Duke.

Tipperary was WWI.

ah the memories.

Metal!

Emperor Taiki what you like seems to be darker so if you want to listen to a Christian band like that there is a band call Red that you might like.

I have a folder of period marches that I listen too that is spaced out for about the time it takes to make a move in turn order. There is nothing like doing the German moves while Panzerlied is blasting on the stereo.

As far as the options I voted for Classic Rock which could have easily been Hard Rock and much of the latter is now considered part of the former. To a person of my age Classic Rock means early Rock and Roll which I do listen to and not stuff from the '60s or '70s again which I listen to. My other choices were Bluegrass and Blues. I think I can honestly say I have heard very few groups from the last 2 decades that I thought were worth a flip and see no reason to listen to inferior (in my opinion) music merely because it is new.

Just based on my knowledge of music, math and physics, I’d say that your speed would have to be pretty close to the speed the grooves were designed for in order for the music to play in a recognizable format.  Too fast and you’d miss notes (tires skipping over grooves) and have deformed notes (too many vibrations traveling too close together.)  Too slow and you might not generate a fast enough wave to carry the melody either.

The article does mention the roads were designed for 55 mph.  That leads me to believe there is a finite range of speeds that the road would function for.

As for tiring of the music, one would think it would be something you would not drive over on a daily basis.  Dunno.  That’s why I mentioned it would really suck to live by the street built like that and you’d probably want to put it in a touristy place like near a boardwalk, pier or famous gathering place where merchants can fleece the tourists.

You could use the back ground music from “Pearl Harbour” for the Japanese. (I know the movie is weak)

You know what I mean? Everytime a scene from the moive cuts to the Japs this awesome drum beat kicks in. The best part of that movie is the scene that has a far away shot of Hawaii then a one Zero flies into frame and then another and another until the whole sky is filled with Jap Zeros and that deep, epic, drumming is going on……tight. I get goose bumps watching it.

Now that I’m thinking about it, in addition to the drumming there is some flutie type piping going on. It sounds very “far easty”
