Ones I can think of are Payphone by Maroon 5 and No Balance by Holy Priest! Love those tunes, they never get old. 😊

I first heard "Velouria" way back in 1990 and always enjoy listening to it.
My musical tastes span decades and genres, and another favourite is "Let there be Love" by Nat King Cole.
I listen to lots of 80s and 90s stuff - things that excited me then and still do now.

Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys
America by Simon & Garfunkel
Judy Blue Eyes by Crosby Stills & Nash
Space Oddity by David Bowie
Fire and Rain by James Taylor

I feel a spotify playlist coming on, though it's not as much fun as making a mix tape (40 mins a side!!) or burning a CD and writing all the songs on the front in sharpie.
