Have you ever thought of what music will be played in Hell to make your suffering even worse? Perhaps it is time you did as you will be spending a long time there gazing up across that unbridgeable at God and I sitting on our clouds listening to Heavenly Harpists.

My first nomination is an endless loop of McCartney's - just mentioning his name gives endless possibilities - execrable Dull of Kintyre.

There would be a 23 hour programme of virtually non-stop music. It would include bagpipes, heavy metal, country & western, reggae, the sort of pop music where there's just one line repeated over and over until it fades out, and anything with a very thumpy, dominant bass line.

John Lennon's "Imagine" and his duets with Yoko would be also up there with a whole lot of cello concertos and someone screaming "Sanna Claus is comin' ter towwwwwnnn".

(Actually, Hell would be John & Yoko screaming a version of "Sanna Claus is comin’ ter towwwwwnnn" accompanied by cellos with a deep bass rhythm, backed by bagpipes and repeated on a loop.)

If you want to nominate cr@p music stations then Classic FM, aka Carsick FM, must be a long way up (or down) the list. Is it just me or do they play Barber's bloody Adagio every hour?

It's the lack of imagination that drives me nuts. Thank God for BBC radio.

I wouldn't know; I only listen to music on the radio first thing when Absolute comes on because I can't face the gloom of the Radio 4 News and Today programme before my first coffee of the day. From then on it's R4 as there are few radio stations whose music output I can abide and none of them are listenable to (or in some cases available) without DAB which I don't have in the car.

Gosh - where to begin? Any country & western; anything by Elvis; anything by the Smiths; any hymns that have been messed about with by the Politically Correct brigade; any Edith Piaf.

I mostly agree with the anti-bagpipe brigade, but with two exceptions

(a) outdoors, playing Scotland the Brave or Highland Cathedral (but not Flower of Scotland), and

(b) playing Mull of Kintyre; for reasons I really can't explain, I quite liked it. [Hot and Hormonal]

No, it's either the theme from Star Wars or Fanfare for the Common Man, thanks for reminding me I can't stand either of these (to the point where I leap to turn the radio off). I do like Classic FM otherwise though.

Too many to mention!! Dubstep or anything of that same genre, hip-hop, rap, anything by pappy poppy "manufactured" boy bands (and girl bands!), Jennifer Rush singing "The Power of Love". Worst of all, the Christmas songs CD that many shops have playing every day between the middle of November until 25th December, I am sure you know the one I mean, it has on it: When a Child is Born, Simply having a wonderful Christmas time; Santa Claus is coming to town; John and Yoko singing a dreary anti-war song and one that goes "Bells are ringing out for Christmas ..."

It's kind of interesting thinking of tacky Christmas songs broadcast all over Hell. "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", among the top ten, I would think.

Maybe Christmas lasts all year, in that case! [Big Grin]

No - they alternate it with the slow movement from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto and the slow movements of every symphony they've got on CD.

Having said that, I think Classic in general has been a Good Thing, in that it introduced a lot of people to classical music who otherwise wouldn't have heard it.

Well said. Eternity's going to last a long time, and you know your call is not important to them.

I'd add anything by Bob Dylan.

I was also going to say the Christmas song which goes 'let it snow, let it snow, let it snow', but perhaps one might want to be reminded of the cold.

Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah . I don't care who is droning through it, it has to be one of the most over-recorded, over-hyped, repetitive and depressing songs ever written.

When I was going to the orthodontist once a month as a teenager, I ended up listening to a lot of the easy listening station while sitting in the chair. Late era Chicago, Starship, REO Speedwagon, really brutal stuff. All while having my braces slowly tightened.

Throw in "Imagine" every hour at the top of the hour and a few of the worst modern Christmas songs ("Last Christmas," "So this is Christmas," "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time,") and I think you get a pretty accurate soundtrack.

(And you people seriously need to educate yourselves about rap and hip hop. There has been a lot of commercial crap put out, but there is also some seriously good stuff out there.)

I kind of doubt that Satan will play anything by the Gaithers or any "Jesus is my boyfriend" music, even for the purposes of torture. But we're still left with Elvis and boy bands, which are pretty horrible.

I was told that rock music would send you to hell. If that's the case, and if that's what Satan plays, then I'm going to be pretty happy. Just no Black Sabbath, please.

I actually really like that. They just hardly ever play it when I'm listening.

Anyway, whatever else they play in Hell, it will be punctuated by mobile phone ringtones and it will be that infernal bloody whistling one that seems so prevalent just at the moment.

OK, I agree with most of these. My own contribution would be anything by Bruno Mars. He could sing it himself, as I am sure he will be there, for the offenses against music he has perpetrated.

Just for variation, you could have Classics on 45. Repeatedly. That should be enough to torture everyone, whatever their musical taste.

I can't believe so many people don't like the bagpipes! We had the village pipe band in our wee parish church last March, Psalm 139 to "Highland Cathedral." It felt like total immersion in the music; it was all-encompassing within the church. I honestly thought "This is what Heaven will sound like."

I think Hell would sound like one of those "on hold" telephone tunes on a short loop - 2 minutes of something classical, then "Thank you for holding" and the same 2 minutes of music again. And again. And again.

Bagpipes are fine. Provided they're played on a hilltop a long way away.
