I despise bagpipes. Anyone who thinks that awful noise is in any way related to actual music should have a set jammed into their ears so hard they come out the other side.

/Rant over.

They have their place. Which is a hill far far away and not indoors.

You might like this line from Arrested Development, Season 4:

And, like all bagpipe music it was hard to tell if it was good music played horribly, or horrible music played well.

I'm Scottish, so I felt guilty for laughing at that as much as I did :-)

On rare occasions, I do think bagpipe music can be spectacularly beautiful and moving, but it takes a really talented piper and/or some contextualising occasion (like a major sports event) to really make me like it all that much.

I think even bagpipe players agree with you.

I fuckin’ love bagpipes… but I also love Xiu Xiu so I wouldn’t trust my musical tastes.

How do you feel about Tuvan throat singing? I feel like both sounds are complex and deeply interesting but I also think it's an acquired taste.
