They play those where I work as well. The worst thing is when one is of the age cohort who grew up with those songs being popular, one has literally listened to the same music in public for 40 years. My older and younger colleagues don't get my animosity towards the music. The older ones didn't listen to it on a loop in school or on the bus, or with their peers, the younger ones think it is cute to like 70's and 80's pop music.

Why can't I belong to a generation where the music one listened to as a kid is never heard anymore? Neither older people are made to regularly listen to 'Mairsey Doats' or 'Mr Sandman', nor are younger cohorts forced to listen to 90's Boy Bands. But me?...Oh no, here's Bohemian Rhaspsody for your listening torture, <again>.
