High quality stock music

[Gopherbassist]

Stock music is an interesting niche. It needs to be good enough to be enjoyable, but often needs to be subtle and unassertive. Sometimes it stands out as quality music in its own right. Share some of that kind, the good stuff.

WWF/E as made good use of stock music for wrestler intros over the years.

Ross Hardy - Slam Smack • used by John Cena





Zack Tempest - Loaded • used by The Hardy Boyz





Kent Buchanan - Ollie Stalefish • used by The Dudley Boyz | This one has a bass solo. How many stock music tracks have bass solos?





Giles Perring & Nick Cash - Drums In The Night (Part 3) • used by Steve Blackman | As the title suggests, this is part of a suite of three pieces, and is a stand out piece of music.

Kevin MacLeod's music could be considered the "Soundtrack of Youtube", as it's pretty high quality and free to use. Sheesh, I even used a lot of his orchestral stuff in my video game. He can have everything from goofy, whimsical music to emotionally gripping orchestral music....guy is a serious talent.

I really like the library stuff they did in the seventies and early eighties. KPM, Bruton, De Wolfe etc. Especially the more ambient/synth based stuff but there's of course lots of brilliant funky stuff out there. And also more weirder things like this from France's Tele Music.

I prefer the 70’s-ish Euro(primarily Italian, but the English stuff is legendary)soundtracks, funk/disco-ish flavored, breezy Library material…






But beware of current AI approximations that are rampant on YT.

All the old KPM stuff is great listening.
