John Tesh did the music for the network coverage of the Tour de France, which was really neat, but then he also (along with Phil Liggett) did commentary on it! When I found out that it was not cool to like John Tesh, I was kind of sad; it was the end of childish innocence, really. I think his music is pretty neat (I also like Manheim Steamroller, so sod off) and his talents were wasted on Entertainment Tonight.

What I've heard of his compositions tend toward the classical/jazz/fusion stylings that nowadays get pigeonholed as "New Age." The sweep and rhythmic intensity of his Tour de France music suited the event well.
