Most rockin' thing you've heard in a supermarket.

2 am, 1969, munchies aisle, Acme, suburban Philadelphia: Muzak, interrupted by Howlin’ Wolf’s Smokestack Lightning.

 

"K.I.N.G." by Satyricon was played in ever shoe and clothing store over here when it was new. Other than that and a few Motörhead and Priest tracks, lots of Maiden, AC/DC and Metallica.

 

I remember there once being complaints at the Tesco I worked at because Ace of Spades was played loud at 6am

 

Well, you live in Norway ... so .... yeah.

 

I should just call it 'normal', is that what you are trying to say?

 

“Cities On Fire With Rock and Roll” Blue Oyster Cult. Pretty alright!

 

I heard "Heartbreaker" once. Saw oldsters rockin' down the aisle.

 

yeah, the other day my local Morrison's was playing The Kids Are Alright by The Who. Maybe not the rockiest number ever but I was quite impressed.

 

Heard Soundgarden's "Outshined" once in a market. It was weird to hear that.

 

I used to do overnight stock at a Grand Union in North Brunswick, NJ. My guitar player was the night manager at the time. Each night he would wrap tape around the announcement mic and put it next to his boom box.

Typically he was playing death metal, the most extreme stuff you could find at the time. The few customers we had complained for sure. Store was 6 months from closing so no one cared.

Fun fact, this was Matt Pinfield’s grocery store in those days, tho he was only spotted in the daytime.

 

Miles Davis - A Tribute to Jack Johnson was rocking at the Publix yesterday. It was kinda late though.

 

Food For Less plays The Ramones I Wanna Be Sedated fairly often.

 

Bebe Le Strange by Heart

 

Robin Trower - Day Of The Eagle
at Giant - lol

 

Popcorn by Hot Butter. Guess you had to be there. But we were rocking!

 

Recently heard Band On The Run and Spies Like Us (2 separate days) at my local Shaw’s.

Hardest track? Probably Rockin’ In The Free World.

 

I heard The Cure - Just Like Heaven one time. Such a great tune.

 

I have never rocked out in a supermarket. I'm too busy reading labels to determine calories from fat.

 

The Cult - Fire Woman rockin' out at a local grocery store (local chain)

 

Not the most rocking, but most unusual for this song to be heard over a U.S. grocery store's Muzak system (and I heard it on 2 different visits to the same store):

 

Van Halens--I'll Wait
