Ah, ok. I just wasn't sure if you meant you knew of TB before, but then that would invalidate your only discovering Oldfield recently. That album has been a staple of my collection since probably 1978 or so. So innovative. He did a followup decades later, but it's kind of not really worth checking out since the original was so, well, unique at the time.

Also, you may not be aware but he did one or two collaborations, had some hits, and of course there's his Christmas song.

No. That music sucked ass, and though he can listen to whatever garbage he likes, he shouldn't have been playing that shit during everyone's lunch hour.

Finally, I just called him out. He was like, "What? I like pop music!"

And I was like, "Yeah, me, too. Now go find some good pop music. There's a lot out there, and you clearly don't know about any of it."

/rant
Yeah you're definitely the *******. Unless you're a whiny try-hard with a cheap superiority complex mainstream pop music should just be boring to listen to, not something you can't even sit through for a lunch break.

I guess I was still being an asshole, but I really don't want to be forced to watch all that during my lunch hour.

I felt like that scene in Three Kings when Mark Wahlberg, George Clooney, and Ice Cube break into that bunker and find the Iraqis listening to Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time".
Sometimes being an ******* is okay.

My manager played Michael Buble into a small stupid office party and it hurt my soul not to say anything. That ****'s not healthy.
