Another Fan Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 A lot of times I notice music at supermarkets is better than most popular music for at least the last 10 years ironically imo. I suppose Amy Grant would be considered of the elevator music genre today but I admit I like listening to her music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU are not supposed to sing in there. No wonder it got awkward! We took our college age son to an outdoor amphitheater to see Steely Dan a few years ago. It was a very warm and sticky summer evening, but I was loving it. About halfway thru the concert we asked him what he thought. His response was “it’s like elevator music without the air conditioning.” Ouch! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coloradobillsfan Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 My favorite is Acoustic Alchemy. I guarantee you have heard them in an elevator at some point! Odds are it was this song; the most recognizable section starts about 5 minutes in, so I'll queue this up after the intro: I got to see them in a small club a couple times, and they were absolutely fantastic. Probably not enough to excite any teenagers though - do they still even care about melody and musicianship? Yeah I know I'll take my certificate and be on my way...

Philly McButterpants Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) My dad owned his own business and used to put on WJYE (back when they played elevator music) all day everyday in is shop, and in the car, and at home . . . . ? If there is a hell, they're playing this on an endless loop. Edited March 7, 2019 by Philly McButterpants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that era, their slogan was ‘Beautiful Music, All the Time’. We coopted that into ‘Elevator Music, All the Time’. * I also recall a dispute over the practice of business sound systems playing radio stations as background music. Wasn’t there an ASCAP push to somehow compensate performers and composers, since they were not receiving royalties for the performances that were technically being broadcast? If the business was actually subscribed to the Muzak service, they were then ‘in the clear’, since compensation is built into Muzak for composers and performers. Promo, any wisdom on this?
