You really expect a bunch of millennials to come forth with a playlist full of passe rock anthems that would please their dads and grandpas?

The only reason you get any rock at all in the arena is b/c Comcast knows some fans' music tastes are effectively frozen in time.

The hard rock/heavy metal/whatever is kind of overdone. But it really doesn't matter.

To me, the best kind of goal song should be something with which the crowds in the stands can easily sing along to. That's part of why I think the Blackhawks song, as annoying as it is to the rest of the league, has so much staying power (as well as it coming along when their Cup drought ended in 2010 ).

With that in mind, I would think that the Beatles version of Twist and Shout would work as something the crowd can join in with call and response style of repeats in the chorus. And it would really work if they starts with the "AHHHHHSSSS" following the guitar solo. It will make a good transition from the goal horn (the horn can overlap and fade out after the ahs start):


(After all, it helped to Save Ferris.)

Another option, for something completely different (for a change), is this:


Just because the chorus/refrain is so apropos. But someone needs to rework it into:


It would be really nice if the goal-scoring players name can be worked in, although that would be hard because it's not always apparent right away who that player is, and also because someone will have to always re-record for every roster change.

But I'm not sure my second suggestion is as good for audience participation as the first suggestion. But it would be nice to hear some old school hip-hop for a change.

I like the idea of an upbeat and catchy sing-along. How many seconds are these things usually?

Or the music back in that era was just much better than the shyte that is out there today.

Not really. Remember what old people thought of your music when you were young? You've just become the old person.

There's actually a lot of great music being made these days, across all genres.

I hear what you're saying. I'm obviously older than most. My music is late 60s to late 70s. It's not that I don't hear newer stuff. My roommate in Jersey has a recording studio. Since freakin 1975. I've heard it all, cutting edge. Weird stuff. Some of the bands I like have put music out for decades. I have over 100 albums on my phone. Over 40 artists. If I listen to 10 hours a week it's a lot. At the end of the day, I start with what I like the best and work my way down.
I like progressive rock and jazz.
But I respectfully disagree that that era of music is not the best genre and music of all time. My favorite songs usually are 8-10 minutes, sometimes longer.
Sometimes being stuck in the best era is actually ok.

Music being art, it's all a matter of opinion and subject to personal feelings and experiences. And a lot of selective memory.

Rock & Roll is effectively dead and has been for years.

It's not dead, just all gone indie.
