At Warbirds Over Denver we play only period music. We have a high quality sound system and have received rave reviews of the audio presentation. While it's difficult to please everyone all the time, if you use common sense, appropriate music can greatly enhance the whole experience. Speaker placement is very important...they need to be placed in areas that won't blow away anyone. The approach we use is like what is done in a movie...use the music to enhance the action. If it is distracting, it's too loud or not appropriate. While I do certainly agree that face ripping music of any type can lead to a bad experience, there's nothing like The Flight of the Valkyries during a WWI gaggle or Baa Baa Black Sheep during a Corsair gaggle as Larry said! I for one think you should add another catagory to your poll. I'd bet you'd see some interesting results.
