What is the Best Music in the Big House?

Submitted by xtramelanin on

Mates,

For many of you tomorrow will be a fantastic Saturday at the Big House.  Like you, I expect that bearcat stew will be served sometime before halftime, meanwhile the tempertures will be great and the sun shining.  Love the marching band which at least for me will always be #1 for music. I'm also glad they aren't playing nearly as much, nor as loud of 'rawk' music at the games.  That said, I must admit that I have an affinity for some of the songs that you frequently hear at the Big House, songs that I would never otherwise be listening to.  

Norfleet's dance music of a few years ago is a perfect example, Sandstorm and Atomic Dog (link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IneWNeRFP) songs I would have never known existed if I hadn't seen it myself:

 

So the question is this, excepting the MMB which is king of the hill, what are your favorite songs to hear while you are in your seat at the Big House?

Have a great game day, and Go Blue!

Didn't even have any pull when I was in the band. The RAWK ship has sailed. Wish the band had stood up a bit more when that started, but they apparently didn't. 

If you want to read some tea leaves about how MMB-Athletics dynamics works, there's a podcast about marching bands that came across my feed, and John Pasquale did it over the summer.

Go forward to about the 10 minute mark. There's a subtle drop in there about DB influencing halftime shows. And much discussion about how decisions are made.

The Germans refer to it as Kuschelrock (snuggle rock).

Americans don't care.  They just love it.

"Don't Stop Believin!" by Journey, 

"I just died in your arms tonight!" by The Cutting Crew 

"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison

"Love of a Lifetime" by Firehouse.

"Love Bites" by Def Lepard

These should be played at all college football games because mandatory, man.

The M Fanfare, followed by the full version of The Victors suits me just fine. Unexpectedly was given tickets by a season ticket holding friend today, so my son and I will be there in the SW corner, row 47 to hear that tomorrow.

Oh, I think the football game should be a fun watch too....

The only time 7 nation army is appropriate is when norfleet or night games are involved. UTL at the very end with 7 nation army was great. In the 3rd quarter of a noon game, not so much.
