    The battery charger for my Makita cordless plays a little tune to tell me when the battery's fully charged. Would this be "Drill" music?

    Dunno. My dentist has Classic FM on in the background when I visit, I assumed that was 'drill music'.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    My dentist plays 'calming' whale music and other kitsch mood music. I loath it!

    Since he is a private dentist and charges enough , maybe I should take along a CD to play when I'm in the chair?

    Could be worse - something you don't want hear while in dentist's chair: "Is it safe?"

    Last night I was out for a meal and I asked my nephew, who is into many types of modern music, if he new about the above. He immediately reacted “What are you doing listening to that idiot, he is hated by many Hip-hop and Rap artists for how he presents himself and what he does”, and he thought some had spoken out against him.

    So perhaps the bad side will remain the minority and will fade into insignificance.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    For great modern pop check out The Ting Tings The Black Light.

    Also the master of pop punk Pete Shelley died recently. Listen to Singles/Going Steady for a collection of brilliance in memory of the man.

    Saw them live twice at the Hemel Hempstead pavilion years ago. With Joy Division support on one occasion. And much later in Bristol. Fab.

    Not heard that one, but have an album called "We Started Nothing". Full of catchy tunes.

    Shame about Pete Shelley too - it's a bit worrying how many names I grew up with are leaving us. Saw Buzzcocks at Heaton Park Manchester about 1990, one of the more interesting bands that day.
