The shoprite I go to plays Radiohead, Spoon, and Hall and Oates. No complaints here! (I complain a lot when they play Six Pence None the  Richer and Jewel).

I'd be kind of ambivalent about the addition of Radiohead to my shopping experience.  Do I really want to hear the end of "Exit Music (For a Film)" while I'm reaching for a bag of Utz?

The best I've heard at Shaw's Supermarket was "One More Time" by Daft Punk. I will never get tired of that song.

I heard "Beat on the Brat" in my local Kroger a few months back. I don't normally pay attention to what's playing while I'm in the store, but that one startled me.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

I seem to hear a lot of Crowded House in my local Food City. And I like it. Judge away!

My Piggly Wiggly always plays a lot of Weird Al and The Cure.

Are there Piggly Wigglys outside of eastern NC?

My friend works at a Metro that seems to play Sheryl Crow and Nickelback on a kind of horrifying endless loop. My local place is pretty much the same. I am jealous of all of you.

There used to be a Piggly Wiggly in Fairfield, OH (near Cincinnati), but it closed down long ago.

Now that you mention it I do remember hearing CH's "Something So Strong" at my local Shaw's. And it made my shopping experience much more enjoyable.
