you're not wrong, usually 9/10 times i play i love just hearing bells and chimes...but a few pints deep and an evening out of it sometimes you have to mix it up when gettin' rowdy!

XM channels, Willie’s Roadhouse, Outlaw Country, Prime Country. I keep it low just as background filler. I find it hard to concentrate and play with rock music. Old time Country music just keeps me chill.

The chimes alone are music to my ears, especially when we have a bunch of people playing. I don't think I've ever turned on music while playing our pins.

Usually just have a TV on. Not paying to much attention to it but it will be on none the less. Not listening to music.

I'm a rock guy through and through and more modern music also but if you've never experienced EMs with the lights down real low while listening to doo-wop you're missing out big time.

I like cranking up Lawrence Welk and his Champagne Orchestra. I really get going when Myron Floren breaks into a rip roaring accordion solo!

Rock. The rock and the bells/chimes take me back to the arcades of the 60s/70s.

And I crank it up.

Usually just the great sounds of the machines. Mayfair in particular sounds great. But sometimes Pandora 60’s 70’s and 80’s.

Must've been motivated to keep the chimes going and drown out the radio.
