Excellent choice.
Am I irredeemably biased, or are my ears simply impossibly well tuned to the sounds of certain eras, or does the music of the 80s and 90s (and, indeed 60s and 70s) just sound (and age) so much better than what is available now?
We are biased but I think it is hard to deny that a lot of music from those periods has aged much better than will the "product" put out by current "stars" such as Kanye, Drake etc. This comment may be attacked by younger posters but my only response would be that I feel lucky and privileged to have been a teenager in the 70's when there was so much good music released (some terrible stuff too) and bands played real instruments, singers were not auto tuned and getting together with mates to listen to a band's new release was an event.
I agree with you (completely).
Personally, I love the much of the music of the Renaissance, and adore Baroque and much classical music, along with trad, folk and some jazz.
But I will say that as someone who was also a teenager for some of the 1970s, the music of that era resonates with me (yes, agreed, some of it was atrocious, but some was astonishingly good and has aged exceedingly well) - and that of the 60s, 80s and 90s - in a way that little from more recent eras do.
In those days, music mattered; it mattered as an expression of art, and creativity, and it seemed to matter as an issue of identity, as well.
Most of my peers at school (and a surprising number at university) - both male and female - played at least one musical instrument (and some of them played very well, whereas others merely plucked, strummed, or struck), such as - mots usually - guitar, or piano, but also including flute, violin, cello, drums, and, in one instance, the sax.
What music player are you using? Looks nice and simple.

Catch The Rainbow
Queen is otherworldly. Abundance of talent.
While Freddie was still alive they never really "dropped the ball". Maybe "Hot Space" but even then it has Under Pressure.
I will never get tired buying their records.

It's Miley Cyrus's birthday and RS put out a little list of some phenomenal covers and duets. She really is one of the best voices of this time!

Gorgeous sleeve art; is the music as good as the sleeve would suggest?
Just now, I am listening to a few tracks by the always wonderful Pink Martini; and am currently playing U Plavu Zoru.
Still with the wonderful Pink Martini.
And am enjoying tracks such as Ninna Nanna, City of Night!, Ohayoo Ohio, Amado Mio, Sympathique, Que Sera Sera, Andalusia, Song of the Black Lizard, Let's Never Stop Falling In Love, U Plavu Zoru, Una Notta A Napoli, and a number of others.
Love that album - great version of Bolero too, and "Hang on Little Tomato" is also a nice Pink Martini album
This playlist is a mix from four separate Pink Martini albums (Sympathique, and Hang On Little Tomato - both superlative albums - as well as Hey Eugene! and Splendour In The Grass).
Haven't listened to their music in a long time - actually, today, is the first time I am enjoying - and relaxing to - some seriously good easy - yet sophisticated - 'cool' music for what seems an absolute age.
But, I must say that I really love this group.
