Me neither especially if its garage music

I like some modern artists like Adelle,James Morrison,anybody that writes their own music or plays and instrument

Some shops don't to check the lyrics to songs before playing them.

It's odd to hear Grandmaster Flash's White Lines (Don't Do it) in public.

Heard the cover of 'don't stop 'till you get enough' by sixth finger in TK Maxx last year. Not often I hear a tune in a shop that really grabs me and makes me want to find out who it is by.

I heard 'You Keep It All In' by The Beautiful South in Card Factory last week. I don't normally pay a lot of attention to the music playing in shops, but as a fan of The Beautiful South I couldn't help but notice this one.

Re: Songs heard when shopping

On this subject, it's always interesting when you hear something in a shop which is appropriate in some way - I was at college in Colchester from '92 to '94, so there are some songs which will always make me think of my Colchester years - 'Sleeping Satellite' by Tasmin Archer, 'Connected' by The Stereo MCs, 'Ebeneezer Good' by The Shamen and 'Ordinary World' by Duran Duran to name just 4 from the first year I was there.
About 4 years ago I returned to Colchester for a visit, and as I walked into town, the first shop I walked into was playing 'Ordinary World' by Duran Duran on the radio. It was a 'Life On Mars'-type moment (although not the '70s) - I was back in '93.

Yeah I know the original is by Michael Jackson but it was this version of it that struck me. It's a chill out version and is very soothing. An unusual choice for a shop where upbeat tunes and dance music are usually the order of the day in a bid to whip customers into a buying frenzy.

Stockport's Poundland was playing Ultravox's Vienna when I popped in today.
