  I never understood the hate for Muzak that my peers had growing up. They just wanted their radio super stars and this was “grandma’s music”. As best as I can tell, it’s just that they’re all non-musicians maybe? I play several instruments and really appreciate what these ensembles did. Besides, it’s nice to take a stress break and listen to something soothing rather than constantly hearing someone sing about his/her disappointments.

  I will never forget sometime in the 80's - in a dept store in Vancouver - and hearing a Muzak version of "Like a Virgin."  It is seared into my memory LOL.

  I was the weird kid growing up in the late 70s and 80s. I loved elevator music. I used to listen to a station in Southern California called KJOI. I would have it on at night as I slept and listened during the day. I recorded it on cassettes.  Now, I find music like that on youtube and occasionally listen during my meditation time.

  This reminds me of going to the movies as a kid. Before the previews they just played soothing Muzak. It was so nice sitting there talking and laughing with my friends, anticipating the show, listening to jazzy Muzak and loving life. Nothing beats being a kid in the 70s❤

  This is great. I always loved the music that came over the MUZAK system and was always in awe as a kid growing up in the 1970’s where it was coming from and wishing I could obtain it. Now I can thanks to the internet. I love numbers 11 and 12. Some of the songs I don’t care for but most are great. Who cares if people hated MUZAK and others like it. Some of us do. I’m also a huge huge HOLLYRIDGE STRINGS fan.

  For those of you who have only flown post-1985 or so, this was the entertainment on commercial airlines. &nbsp;However, this was not the only entertainment. &nbsp;Most commercial flights, particularly coat to coast, had several channels and you bought the headsets (or rented them sometimes). &nbsp;The other channels would feature different music but also interviews with business leaders, sports stars, and entertainment executives. &nbsp;I&apos;d love to get ahold of some of those tapes. &nbsp;<br>Thank you for this post.
