The Great Highland Bagpipe
is not a musical instrument. It's a weapon of war, which was used to scare the living shit out of the enemy (most often the English). The fact that it is possible to play tunes on it seems almost incidental.

That said, to be fair, a good pipe band isn't bad. At a suitable distance. And the tunes do sound indivudual you know them. It's like any genre of music - if you're not into it, it all sounds the same.

I wouldn't fancy having them outside my window at 10.30 though. Especially if I was shagging at the time.
