Do you mean in terms of a lack of profanity or what would actually get airplay?

I don't know exactly how you mean this, but most work Toto made is both nice sounding in a 'commercial' way, as well is well crafted musicianship

 

A rare band that's good for 'normal public' as well as musicians and audiophiles

By ''radio friendly'' i mean songs that have a ''simple'' feeling.  Lets say you want to put on some music when people are around you, obviously you do not want to put on an album such as Kid A by Radiohead.  Songs that come on the radio are a lot more.....''easier'' if that makes sense....

I'm not entirely sure about pop acts. Some are decent, but there's a lot of lousy stuff.

When people are over, I find it good to spin some classical and jazz. Mozart and Beethoven slip into the background without complaint. Chopin does, too. With jazz, Oscar Peterson, Dave Brubeck and Bill Evans slip right in. Pop and rock are a little tougher. A playlist with Wilco can go over well, especially when mixed with classic country - Cash, Williams, Frizzell, Nelson, and others. So will a playlist of poppy Elephant 6 recordings, especially mixed with the Beatles, Beach Boys and the Kinks. Well-chosen New Wave can fit in, too.

I don't have much of an idea about modern music; it's too diversified. Though Moby goes over well. Spinning "18" or "Play" goes down well. Yeah, I know it's fashionable to hate Moby, but I've seen young and old like him. I've got friends and family from six to mid-eighties. Moby never draws a complaint.

I personally don't like classical when people are around me; most classical pieces I know of (not very much though) will ask for and draw my attention to it

 

I'd go with some light jazz for that

Try something like Beethoven's Sixth or Bach's English suites. They'll blend right into the background.
