Best and worse area music

The main problems with music that is on a "loop" is when it's too short and has lyrics.
It becomes annoying when you hear the same 4 minute song over and over.
The greatness of something like the Tomorrowland loop is that it's quite long, varied, and has no lyrics so it's hard to "memorize" the song. It's truly background music instead of like a performance every 4 minutes.

I also really like the music of Carousel of Progress.

Can't think of a "worst" at the moment, but frequently on rotation our house are Future World, Tomorrowland, the Reflections of Earth pre-show music, and increasingly the new Disney Springs Marketplace area loop.

Epcot (especially Innoventions and International Gateway) and Main Street USA are my favorites.
The new/revamped area music at Disney Springs is terrible.

I feel like all of my favorites (of which there are many) have already been said! I don't really have a least favorite besides "Destiny," unless the horrible Tomorrowland dance party counts. It was playing nonstop the last two times I was there, COMPLETELY drowning out that golden Tomorrowland loop everywhere but near Cosmic Ray's. I could even clearly hear it from inside the Carousel Theater when the show was in progress, ugh.

While I love the Innoventions music loop, I hate that it's only ~ 20 minutes long. From what I understand, this version was arranged as a demo and wasn't intended to be the actual loop.
Some of my favorites would be the DAK entrance plaza loop, DAK Oasis loop, the DAK Discovery Island loop, the Expedition Everest exterior loop which is different from the Asia loop, the Tower of Terror loop, Hollywood Blvd, which perfectly sets the mood for stepping into the golden age of Hollywood, Sunset Blvd, The Jungle Cruise queue loop, The Seas with Nemo and Friends loops, ahh, you know what, I have too many to list.
My least favorite is probably Liberty Square, the Sousa marches, as already mentioned, are not period accurate, but are too cliche and what a typical theme park might play.

I think a great deal of the mythical status of EPCOT Center is based on its music. Easily the best Disney has ever done, and that's saying something considering the enormous competition. (Disney does theme park music really rather well indeed!)
EPCOT's loops, on ride music and songs are out of this world. Some pull of the feat of being both futuristic and nostalgic. Some are grand almost to the point of bombastic, some of it is so gentle.Just your loop alone will haunt me for the rest of my days.

When I saw the thread I knew you'd be in here and I knew you'd bring up your Innoventions loop.
I love the current Innoventions loop. A bit stuck in the 90's. And at times the music tries too hard, or maybe has to work too hard. But positive and uplifting.
But there is something peculiar about it. I like the music because it is so omnipresent in a FW day. So I associate it with EPCOT nowadays. And therefore I like it. It's backwards. Fu ture World's immense beauty pavloved me into liking the loop.

I love the current Epcot entrance loop. Either that or the Innoventions loop would be me favorites. The entire track isn't as strong as my favs, but my ring tone starts at 3:35 here in the Ellen UoE area music. Everyone's reaction when they hear it blasting out of my phone:

Even after the refurb?
I don't think the current loop is bad at all. It's like a more dynamic and futuristic take on the Innoventions music.
Anyway, my current vote for best would be Jambo House at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Worst would be the elevator muzak they've always played in the Canada pavilion.

My favorite "area" music would have to be the ragtime piano at Casey's. My favorite "ride" music would be the Haunted Mansion. I can't really think of music that I don't necessarily like.

Yeah even the new stuff seems like hospital waiting room music.
