If I’m calling some company and they put me on hold, it’s usually not the highlight of my day. Honestly, who wants to sit for 15 minutes … listening to smooth jazz?

No offense to you smooth jazz fans, of course. Maybe the “On-Hold Music Corporation” just doesn’t have a good record collection. But the hold music I’ve heard is usually painful….

Until recently, that is. Because it seems like the on-hold music is getting a better. Almost like companies know that we’ll hate them if their music sucks. And the truth is, we probably will.

In fact, the on-hold music is so good these days that I’m sometimes bothered when they finally pick up. A couple of weeks ago, I almost asked that I be put back on hold just to hear the end of the song(!). Seriously, it was some cool piano piece that had a really good rhythm. Maybe I’m just going insane.

Either way, what album would a company have to play to make you happy to stay on hold for 30 minutes? Seriously … let me know.
