LOL, I know how that is, I introduced my roommate to Linkin Park a few years ago (when they only had 1 cd, be thankful there's now some variety) and he listened to it CONSTANTLY. It wouldn't be soo bad if it was pure garbage.

I don't mind the music but my roommate leaves the front door unlocked all the time. It doesn't matter if he is home or not, it is always unlocked if he is in the area. I should just install hotel room style door lock set.

Tell him to listen to Fort Minor. It's a new band featuring Mike Shinoda that is mostly based on the song "Breaking the Habit". It intwines classical instruments with modern rap. Not rock.

Play some Bloodbath really loud. As long as your stereo goes louder then his, and the cops don't come, then you win.

You need to blackjack him with his stereo one night when he gets home. Then tie him to a chair with his speaker cables. Turn on the TV and force him to watch Little Einsteins (http://disney.go.com/disneychannel/playhouse/littleeinsteins/ ) until the Linkin Park lyrics make him cry because they're so angry and sad. -Then-, infect his computer (if he has his own) with many a virus. After he's done enjoying the Little Einsteins marathon, leave him there to watch late night children's programming (or as an alternative, Golden Girls reruns) while you go do your homework in the library.

This probably won't keep him from going back to his old ways, but it sounds fun right?

Yeah, I told him to STFU and he turned it down but I can still hear it. These walls are paper thin.

:music: These walls are paper thin and everyone hears every single sound :music:

roflmao i remember the dorm days. I remember my roommate played the same songs over and over again, drove me nuts. I really like the smashing pumpkins, but damn he kept on playing "tonight x2" 100000000000x/week that it drove me up the wall.

I used to like Dave Mathews band as well, until he kept looping their CD grrr rofl.

I feel your pain. When I was in college, I had a roommate who played the same song over and over and OVER. I hated her. :(
