go back 5 minutes ago to a moment in time when I had not entered this thread and reviewed that lame, weakass, stale, soul-crushing list of songs that someone wants associated with the Michigan Stadium experience.
This Twitter account should be banned, and whoever put this together should be forced to sit in a room and listen to this playlist for 48 straight hours.
At the end of this time, my guess is they will certainly no longer like "Welcome To The Jungle" - it is on the playlist twice, which is immoral and contrary to all civilized playlist creation rules. Love Guns n Roses - but cmon...
I feel violated - going to take a shower, drink a large Markers Mark on ice, and try to forget such a playlist really exists...

Yet another comment when rendered in the voice of the avatar is amazing. I can so hear Mike Damone saying "I would do anything to go back 5 minutes to a moment in time....."

I'd foot stomp to this if they had the cajones to play it.

feel like compaining about stadium music has become the hipster thing to do these days. Really, there is nothing that does not outrage this fanbase. Uniformz, stadium music, ticket prices, advertising, talking about Sp88888, threads during the offseason, threads during the season...fuckers were even trashing Stephen Ross in the thread about him donating another 50 mill to the school. Some of you people need to get laid, badly.

"Hipster thing to do these days"
Have you ever experienced a game without piped in music? I graduated less than ten years ago and none of the games in my four years at UM had a single song played over the loudspeakers. That was the experience virtually everyone up until recently thought of as "Michigan football." And it wasn't just The Victors or Temptation - when the band fired up "Livin on a Prayer" in a game we trailed late (2004 MSU) and the students would all sing along, it was awesome. They would do that kind of thing because they knew they were providing the soundtrack.
Now I come back for a game every year and hear the PA system playing worn-out arena tunes at every single stop in play, and often playing over crowd chants so as to actively discourage the crowd from getting into it. It's terrible. If it makes me a hipster to wish they'd just do what they did for the first 129 years of Michigan football instead of (poorly) imitating a minor league baseball game atmosphere, then hand me the flannel and kombucha.

This is spot on, the first time I can vividly remember piped in music was for the first UTL game against Notre Dame, and then it was ONLY Seven Nation Army. Which was cool that one time, but not to be repeated over and over. So that was what 5 or 6 years ago?
A big part of the cool factor of college sports is how ORGANIC it is. Mr. Brightside during the Cinci game = Cool. It was different and the fans got into it. Then they tried to force it again against Air Force and no one gave a shit.
I also like all kinds of music but I don't go to Michigan Stadium wanting to hear some shitty song clip every commercial break. I can do that at home for way cheaper, AND have control over what song I want to hear.
Also +1 for flannel and kombucha

I think throwing the word hipster at everything you don't like in life is, paradoxically, hipster-esque.

I'd like to present an alternative:
M Fanfare
The Victors
Varsity
Let's Go Blue
I Wanna Go Back to Michigan
Hoover Street Rag
Cheer #1
Intimidation
Iron Man
Black Dog/Kashmir
Respect
Rocky the Flying Squirrel
Heaven/Everytime We Touch
Calyptors
Blues Brothers
Temptation
Hawaiian War Chant
Yellow and Blue
... I think that about covers it.
September 20th, 2017 at 11:09 PM ^
"Blues Brothers"?
After my rant above, I am going to refrain from being critical on this list - but only because you put "Kashmir" on the list. That makes up for a lot of errors and sins.
September 20th, 2017 at 11:17 PM ^
You know, Otis Redding's "I Can't Turn You Loose" from Blues Brothers? The song the MMB plays in The Cake and at the start of every 4th quarter?
September 21st, 2017 at 10:06 AM ^
for this list.

think of anything that separates college from pro sports more than performance by a live band. And because my daughter performed at the Big House twice as a member of the Western Michigan band, I clearly am biased about this proposition.
Piped in music should be a function of filling breaks in play but I still want to hear the Victors after a score and a first down.
I mean most schools get this. I can still hear the echo of the Trojans incessantly played fight song from last Saturday's game between USC and Texas in my head.
September 21st, 2017 at 12:14 AM ^
I just wish we could find some type of song that is OURS and only ours. Wisconsin has Jump Around, Virginia Tech has Enter Sandman, etc. My vote is when the defense comes on the field for the first time in the game we play the beginning of the solo of Domination by Pantera:
September 21st, 2017 at 9:10 AM ^
You mean... like... The Victors?
September 21st, 2017 at 9:37 AM ^
September 21st, 2017 at 10:24 AM ^
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
The stadium was fine before RAWK. It doesn't need Special K. Didn't hear anyone complaining about stadium atmosphere in 1997...

Yeah, that's just part of being Michigan. We study in libraries on the weekend; we grumble with our arms folded when the team is winning in an imperfect manner. We don't lose our heads easily.

The Dance Band on The Titantic....
September 21st, 2017 at 10:20 AM ^
You mean like playing "I Can't Turn You Loose" (aka "The Blues Brothers song") every game between the third and fourth quarters and people dancing to it?
September 21st, 2017 at 12:32 AM ^
September 21st, 2017 at 7:56 AM ^
...they should enter the field to "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". I can't think of a more appropriate song.
September 21st, 2017 at 8:14 AM ^
I personally dislike the piped in music. To me it takes away from the college atmosphere. The other reason I dislike it is because the sound system in the Big House is crappy. When music is played, it is so loud it is full of distortion. It also seemed to me at last weeks game, they played more piped in music than in the previous game.
Sunday I was at Heinz Field. Typical pro game....full of piped in music, but I have to admit, it sounded much much better. They have an amazingly clear sounding system with no distortion.
Still, for me, the piped in music does not add to my gameday experience in Michigan Stadium.

Any person who creates a playlist that contains Black Eyes Peas, Florida Georgia Line, and Flo Rida should never EVER be allowed near any type of music playing device.

I'm curious what the distribution of people who hate piped in music is in the mgoblog community vs. the fanbase at large.
