I having been going to blazer games regularly since I moved to portland in 2006, including full season (2006-2007) and quarter season ticket packages.  One thing I've noticed over the years is that the RG is getting worse about pumping in music during the gameplay, and after the first preseason game, my friend and I couldn't believe how often the music was played. 

What really struck me, aside from the obnoxiousness of having to listen to horrible beats/music while trying to watch the game, was that the music typically would stop during the dead ball periods and start back up when the game resumed.  We couldn't understand why the music was pumped in during the gameplay but stopped during dead balls.  It may seem like a small thing to some people, but I don't understand why anyone would want to have music playing during the game, and i find it annoying while trying to watch.  As much as I hate the Lakers, I can respect that at their home games, there is little to no music playing while the game is going on.  What does the BE community think about this?
