I am tripping down memory lane today.....Casey Kasem's American Top 40 from Sept 17. 1970...What a bunch of great memories of an 11 year old boy at the time !! Great tunes from a time when music was varied and interesting....
Grand Funk, Neil Diamond, Sugarloaf, Melanie, CCR, Mungo Jerry, The Guess Who, and Three Dog Night to name a few !
What's filling the background at your place ?

nothing but my heartbeat right now but do agree with your opinion. i was almost to my first year in the Air Force then.
I've got the Amazon music channel set to Classic Blues on the TV. Muddy Waters, Etta James, they toss in some random nonsense that doesn't belong there every once in a while, but for the most part its a good mix to have going in the background. If you have Amazon Prime, you have access to Amazon music....they have lots of stations, compilations, artists, and you can search any name and find what you feel like hearing. They scroll the words to the songs on the screen, so its nice to finally find out what the words are to some songs.
Listening to KSHE 95 right now a good classic rock station out of St Louis
(3902) THE DILDO SONG - UNCLE JOHN - (OFFICIAL VIDEO) - YouTube
These guys are great!! Looks like a great town with nice people.
Now that it's easy to call up any song you want on Youtube, it is fun to look at unusual stuff you didn't pay much attention to when it was current.
Who knew those Misifits were so good? They're the band with the grinning skull logo (from 1946's The Crimson Ghost) whom all the unusual music fans seem to wear. About half their music is speed metal but the other half is real real good rockabilly although sometimes with an odd or inappropriate topic. As long as it's pre-1990s.
Then there's this rap I couldn't not hear when I went outside in the summer of 2002. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udmTfK6_aM8 It had a rather striking refrain so I went and looked it up.
The only other noise maker in here other than me is the ceiling fan. In my exercise regimen, I hook my cell phone to my headset and listen to Pandora. Music, comedy, and anything else that trips my trigger.

I had Pandora going with Billy Thorpe (Children of the Sun) Radio tuned in, great tunes. Now watching Hamburger Hill.
Bluegrass
totally engulfed in the ringing in my ears.
I am barely computer literate.I wish I knew how to be here and listen there.
The sound of empty beer cans hitting the recycling bin....
Tonight, ABBA
I too am not to bright when it comes to computers. I can get the music online but the speaker\s in my laptop are pure junk!! I cannot hear most music or even talking unless I turn off the room fan and totally shut out all outside noise. Thought about buying some kind of external speakers that I could plug in to my unit and once did so but the Blue Tooth thingy was not compatible with the Toshiba LT. 😕
On a similar note regarding my brains failure to accept much of the modern tech we have today, about a year ago I discovered I had in my possession what is called an MP-3 player\DVR\AM-FM player set up as what we used to call "Ghetto Blasters". 😮
This machine actually will play all of my old discs that I recorded online back some 20 years ago off of that old music site "NAPSTER". I must have at least a couple thousand songs from those days and the player I have is equipped with some very nice sounding speakers!
Ray Charles and Milt Jackson, Soul Brothers album
John Hagee.
My tinnitis, the light breeze outside, and my wife's footsteps as she fixes Sunday brunch. I have not voluntarily listened to music in decades - to me it is just irritating noise and yowling. There's a high-end music system in my Toyota Highlander. In the eight years I've driven it now, I have yet to turn it on.
Ian Tyson or Dave Stamey.
Mule
Various TV programs..........channel surfing.
Listening to the American canner 941 and 925 jingling on the stove.
50 lbs of yardbird in jars...
Its not hard really....you need to put something like Spotify on your computer. It is like a radio station for your computer. It will guide you while setting it up to what you like and if you "rate" things it will keep altering what you hear to what you like. It stays open in the background while you are working. There are other music streaming platforms. My husband has spotify and loves it. I just let the TV be my radio.
Look up Spotify and check it out....you will like having your music playing on the computer while surfing the net.
Local FM station playing vintage popular songs. A real mixture (no heavy rock) . Have it tuned in in my truck also.
Listening to the Jesse Kelly show currently.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
AC/DC
