In fact, I usually listened to the game summary, then lowered or muted the volume during the "song", and returned to normal listening volume when normal coverage had returned.<BR/><BR/>And I have used the mute button during many a Madden broadcast of any sort.<BR/><BR/>Fox, CBS, NFL films, and other networks have already used classical music (or horrible period music), so I guess I associate a variety of music with football anyway. NCAA 2006 for PS2 includes snippets of songs like these, for instance:<BR/><BR/>[something by Lush]<BR/>Pixies, "Debaser"<BR/>Superchunk, "Hyper Enough"<BR/>Guided By Voices, "Teenage FBI"<BR/>Mother Love Bone, "This is Shangri-La"<BR/><BR/>...and the Madden 06 jukebox included some of these:<BR/><BR/>[something by Godsmack]<BR/>All-American Rejects, "Night Drive"<BR/>Nine Black Alps, "Cosmopolitan"<BR/><BR/>And I love some of those songs, but if they have looped around enough times to stick in my head (especially "Debaser"), it's a clear indication that I've been spending too much time with the PS2.<BR/><BR/>mark72Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-1157352183765498622006-09-04T02:43:00.000-04:002006-09-04T02:43:00.000-04:00I do like the new music, but you're right: it's ju...I do like the new music, but you're right: it's just not football!<BR/><BR/>(Have I ever mentioned that I really dislike change??)<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://tulips.fluidnature.com/" REL="nofollow">--bella</A>bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04648691129113717331noreply@blogger.com
