As a New Yorker, I love bars. In moderation, I think they are wonderful places, but, like most wonderful things, idiots tend to ruin them from time to time. There are many bar behaviors I find deplorable, but the most offensive one to me is a flagrant disregard for jukebox etiquette. People, it is indecent to play 6 live Metallica songs in a row. Jewel is also unacceptable. And don't make us all sit through the High School Musical soundtrack just because you and your drunk buddies find it hilarious -- this is a bar, everyone here is a grown-up, and there is no room for Zac Efron and his Disney cohorts here.

There's also the matter of infuriatingly overplayed songs that need to be banned from bars forever. Readers, I beg you to think twice before you put your dollar in for the following songs:

That Was a Crazy Game of Poker -- O.A.R. (This one is very important and most definitely includes the 17 minute live version!!!)
Mr. Brightside -- The Killers
Livin' on a Prayer -- Bon Jovi
Here I Go Again -- Whitesnake
Welcome to the Jungle -- Guns N Roses
Don't Stop Believing -- Journey
Sympathy for the Devil -- The Rolling Stones

Playing those songs in a public place is just cruel. There are more than just those seven songs in most jukeboxes, so why are those the only ones anyone ever plays? Any ideas? Any songs I missed that you can't stand either?
