Has The Steve Miller Band produced the ultimate Muzak (aka elevator music)

Asked by rebbel (35549points) June 20th, 2012

Today I telephoned the energy company in order to ask them a question and to get information.
I was put on hold for a minute.
Fly Like An Eagle by Steve Miller was on.
When I heard that music I realized that I had heard him/them before while waiting on the phone, but not recently (say, three times in the last couple of years), and definitely not through the telephone system of this company (first time I called them).
That raised the question: Could it be that songs by The Steve Miller Band are unquestionably the best songs to listen to while waiting (on the phone)?
You think people research this kind of stuff?

Side question (but curious for your answers!): What music/song do you think would be soothing Muzak, or, if you would be Manager Telephone System Music of the company, what music/song would you suggest to put?
