A little Request for you music aficionados...

[soonerhubs]

I use Pandora as my background while writing, researching, and of course checking this place from time to time.

My favorite background music stations are the following in no particular order:

* John Barry Radio
* John Williams Radio
* Paul Cardall Radio
* Howard Shore Radio
* Hans Zimmer Radio
* James Newton Howard Radio
* Michael Giacchino Radio


I'm always up for some new and creative music, and as you see, I'm truly a fan of the new soundtracks.

My question to you all: What Composers am I missing that you would suggest?

I know you won't disappoint!
Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

I enjoy Tenacious D Radio. Does that help?

[Oldnslo]

I like my "weezer radio" station.

[Oldnslo]

and I can now also say that Tenacious D radio is pretty awesome.

What are you looking for? More classical? Folk music? Easy listening?

[mgsooner]

Is there an Angelo Badalamenti channel?

[soonerhubs]

Classical and Folk sound great!

[NormanPride]

Try these for folk stuff.

I enjoy:

Jerry Jeff Walker Radio
Willie Nelson Radio
Pink Floyd Radio
Waylon Jennings Radio

I'm not sure why I had to put "Radio" after all of those but noticed the OP did so I just followed his lead.

[Howzit]

I do a quick mix of

Phoenix
The Kooks
Pinback
Foo Fighters
Iron & Wine
The Six Parts SevenIt's a pretty wide mix and you never know what your going to get.

[NormanPride]

I have a Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown station that is nice for when I just want something in the background.

Not new by any means, but for a little Oklahoma/Americana classical sound, try Chandler, OK's own Roy Harris (just started a channel and it took me straight to Symphony #3) or Copland.

I always like the different sounds that come from Woody Guthrie, Bob Wills, Ray Charles (the soul stations are pretty cool), Miles Davis, 13th Floor Elevators, Morphine, and some other jazz or blues type stations for background music.

But hell, depending on your mood you could type anything from Eric B. and Rakim to The Brian Jonestown Massacre and get some interesting offerings.

You said creative? Try Frank Zappa's classical stuff. I like all his music, but you'll be surprised with his classical writing

[soonerhubs]

Thanks guys!!

[Leroy Lizard]

I suggest

Delerium Radio

As for James Newton Howard and John Williams... **** man, how do you stay awake?

Nice! I'm liking it so far.

Seems like you really like movie scores. About the only one you missed was Bernard Herrmann.

[soonerhubs]

I'll try this station out today. What movies has he composed for?

I also hear there are good composers for games like Call of Duty. I need to research those as well.

Hermann's a good station as well.

Thanks!

Does anyone know who did the music for that HBO original Carnival? That soundtrack is pretty good.

Tried his station yesterday. Feels like meditation music. Not bad!

[Veritas]

You'd probably dig E.S. Posthumous radio.

I like my Megadeth station while I work but, you know, different strokes...

Megadeth and working out. Hmm... 2 new things I should try. ;)

All of Hitchcock's movies from the mid 40s till the mid 60s. Taxi Driver, Twilight Zone theme music, Citizen Kane(probably the best movie ever made), Ghost and Mrs Muir. And about 100 others. Also did all of Orson Welles radio stuff.

If you're looking for newer soundtrack work, Michael Giacchino is one of the best young guys out there right now.

The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Lost, Star Trek, MI:3, several of the Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games, and so on.

[thesnowbishop]

One of my favorite soundtracks of the year was from the first season of HBO's Treme. It's not a themed score by one composer, but if you like New Orleans music, it's well done. Don't know if there's a Pandora channel that would equate.

[soonerhubs]

Thanks everyone! These suggestions have created many new and enjoyable stations to listen to.

Kudos to you all!

This. Times a brazillion.

The score for the Incredibles drove that film like a race car. The only soundtrack I've ever purchased.

[silverwheels]

Giacchino's work on Lost is also phenomenal. Especially the pieces "Life and Death", "Locke'd Out Again", "The Constant", and "There's No Place Like Home".

[GrapevineSooner]

I have a station that plays Muse, Coldplay, Keane, etc.

And another that plays Miike Snow and MGMT mostly.

[MsProudSooner2]

If you like soft jazz, try Wayman Tisdale Radio.
