(Part 2) Best easy listening music according to redditors

I was, of course, being sarcastic.

I'm there with you. I think this is a bad decision that only succeeds in people patting themselves as they take the classical guitar to an ivory tower to fawn over.

It's stupid.

We're not the piano, or violin. Hell, we're not even the Cello. We don't have an immense repetoire written by hugely talented composers. Like I said earlier the classical guitar does not have the repetoire nor the following to be snobby about what they play or talk about.

Don't agree with me? Look at all the important guitarists out there. After recording the "staples" eventually they all went to non-traditional classical guitar music.

Look at LAGQ, they're essentially the perfect example of this. They did about 3 or 4 albums of classical music but then the rest of their stuff is non-traditional like this: http://www.amazon.com/Lagq-Los-Angeles-Guitar-Quartet/dp/B000EGDB9M/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1416282276&sr=8-11&keywords=lagq

Christopher Parkening did a few cds of church music

Barrueco did the beatles:

Sharon Isbin, chair of the guitar department at Juliard which by rights should be all about the Ivory Tower has several recordings of non-traditional classical music

Even beloved John Williams would not be up for posting under these rules

In essence nearly every important classical guitarist would come here and be told to go somewhere else. I guess this reddit knows more about classical guitar than these guys and girls.

Today is your lucky day. There is an entire album of Star Wars music done like cocktail jazz (this is the source of that snazzy Imperial March).

Oh, I wasn't aware. I've been listening to it through groove shark which lead me to buy this album. After a bit of research it appears Montenegro only has done covers of Morricone's work.

I don't think so, but I'd have to break out my CDs. I just checked my iTunes and looks like I never ripped them.

On Amazon the track is listed as "Victory Celebration/End Title" instead of what OP mentioned was on iTunes: "Ewok Celebration and Finale" which is Yub Nub

EDIT: This got me off my ass. I got out my CDs (I haven't opened them up in 15+ years) and yes, "Victory Celebration/End Title" is the smooth jazz replacement for the iconic Yub Nub music that everyone loves. Luckily for me, I also have the “Star Wars Original Trilogy Soundtrack Anthology” set from the early 1990s with the original music.

This is actually pretty awesome.

Its from this CD

The way I read it was that they can listen to music but just in a way that the customers cant hear it. So dont stress. When you write your follow-up, make sure you tell them to buy the 'best of' album for elevators.

It looks like you can snag it from Amazon.

I plan on collecting vinyl soon. I was born in 1982 and am proud to say that my first music listening device was a Fisher Price turntable. Then I moved on to a JVC turntable. I definitely miss the sound. Once I'm able, I need to pick up a new turntable. Which one do you use/recommend?

Unfortunately, I missed out on the La La Land release, but I did see listings for it on Amazon. I'm going to have to bump that one up on my priorities list.

I think the music was all by Henri Mancini who wrote the Pink Panther theme. There's a soundtrack CD:

A comment in one of those links mentioned John Williams Greatest Hits. I must now get that.

Cheating a bit I know, but they are all insane
