not a song, but i am absolutely obsessed with steve reich's music for 18 musicians, particularly the section that runs from 27:40 to 29:39 in this clip.

Minimalist music I think is an acquired taste that I appreciate more now than when I was a teenager/young adult. I saw Einstein on the Beach at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1984 and just viscerally hated it. But as I have grown older I appreciate the genre more.

it's definitely something that i've developed more of a taste for as i've aged as well. certainly i'm more open to things i can relax into than i was at one time.

i saw a portion of einstein performed last year when philip glass headlined the new music festival in our city. i didn't enjoy it as much as the other pieces i saw performed that week by glass or others tbh, and i've never listened to the full piece.

Pretty much anything by Maiden, The Misfits or Dio

Earl Sweatshirt is pretty cool and the whole Odd Future crew is very good

A number of Peter Hollens' songs have stuck in my head over the years. He's a YouTube singer that either does his own version of famous songs, or once in a long while, sings a song that nobody's heard before.

For me at this moment, it's this one:

There are other songs too, mostly just stuff by Celtic Woman.

I finally found another great singer to do this song:

I LOVE that song!

A song that I've heard before but didn't know what it was until now. Looked it up and Benny Hill!

North Korean: Most Keytars on stage? I love listening to it while I throw people in a gulag. (I did enjoy the clip, for real)

Thanks, here's the first time I heard Madonna, remarkable as it was the first time I heard girls react to a woman as they did to a boy band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWtpd8mS5jw

The last time I really liked her, it's just great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rRe6zoKof8

I don't think I've ever changed the radio station when they're playing "Under Pressure" by David Bowie/Queen. That and "Back on the Chain Gang" by Pretenders. I remember those came out around the same time when I was in junior high.
