If you think it's worth offending part of your viewers...
(Of course, there's nothing wrong with offering OPTIONAL music - let the viewer decide if he wants to listen to your recommended music.)
You're saying you don't want to go back to the days of a synth MIDI track blaring through your unsuspecting speakers before the webpage full of flashing gif animations fully loads? Why ever not?

But just think of the possibilities for enhancing browsing here on MR! We could put MIDI tracks in our signatures, even!
