Re: Easy Listening / Muzak / Elevator Music
Holy cow, I can't believe we didn't already have a thread for this! You covered the greats :) One I don't see is John Fox and His Orchestra.
"Clair" I love this one! I reminds me of the 1973 adaption of The Borrowers I used to watch all the time as a wee one :D
"The Last Waltz"
"There Are Such Things"
"Love Me"
"Sailing By"
"Here, There And Everywhere"
I can say that although I enjoy many different genres from Classical to Power Metal to Skater Punk, Elevator Music is most definitely my favorite :) (How fun it would be to take a few trips up and down an elevator in the Empire State Building in the mid-70s!)
Edit: No Mantovani!? For shame!
"Tea For Two"
"Smile"
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"

Re: Easy Listening / Muzak / Elevator Music
awesome! i'll re-post a link to the documentary on Easy Listening here: http://ffilms.org/the-joy-of-easy-listening-2011/
that docu explains why you will see so many covers. they are a normal thing in Easy Listening music.

Re: Easy Listening / Muzak / Elevator Music
In Valencia you have easy listening in the regular trains and in Barcelona in the metro. Sometimes the put classical music.

Tiny Tim: Easy listening meant to unnerve. The best kind.

Re: Easy Listening / Muzak / Elevator Music
Is this the end of music? Are bots to blame for composing it? I have become addicted to lofi crap like this:

It just feels so very good to have some kind of soundtrack that I do not need to engage in. :|

Re: Easy Listening / Muzak / Elevator Music
Time to wind down, try to unstress yourself. Terrible music really. But I am fascinated.
