Best & worst "on hold" music?

Any soothing music usually ok. anything rousing makes me angrier and angrier the longer I wait!
But my pet hate is - being ADVERTISED at as I wait. GRRR!

Isn't it amazing that if you phone a company to complain you are left holding on for ages but if you ring the same company to place an order your call is taken immediately!

I had to phone LV Insurance to renew my Dads insurance a couple of weeks ago and found myself tapping my foot along with their music - a lively country tune, no idea what it is though lol.
Agree that the most annoying are the "your call is important.." etc. If that's the case get more people answering the darn phones.

A few years ago, one of the holiday/airline companies used to play 'Walking on Sunshine'. It was fine for the first minute or two, then annoyed me. I think the same would apply whatever the music was.

I hate on hold music. I particularly hate snippets of Vivaldi's Four Seasons played in a loop - it makes me want to throw the phone at the wall. I also don't like the on hold message you get when you ring our doctor's surgery, as the person reading it sounds like an air-head with a speech impediment - she cannot pronounce the sound "th", using "v" instead. It drives me wild. Before someone shoots me down, I know people can't help having speech impediments, but if they have one, they shouldn't be reading out on hold messages! Okay, I'm having a grumpy day.

Best, any classical music, worst, Greensleeves .

Trouble is with the spoken message it can get very annoying when they keep on telling you how important your call is to them with no idea of when they will answer.

It is so rare you can speak to anyone on a phone these days and just talk to a human to explain what you want rather than use a website. Tried to book cream vouchers for my brother's birthday at a stately home, nearly drove me mad.

I don't like any of the music while I am on hold. I find that by the time they do answer I have been numbed so much that I have forgotten what I rang for in the first place. Maybe this is why they do it

I would prefer just to be told my number in the queue, and the approximate wait time.
