I am in awe of king crimson as a lifelong musician, it's amazing how much emotion is in starless with so few notes.

Any 70's rock is good for me. I don't really "hear" it but it is a familiar background noise. Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, and if I want to jump around a bit some ZZ Top.

@Mike Fletcher if you're a fan of the Dan, check out Brooklyn Charmers on YouTube

I have Alexa play my Playlist of 60s, 70s and 80 hits.

The greatest guitarist to ever live (so far) and still widely unknown outside of Jazz.

Absolutely agree - I meant I might be overthinking my emotional response to the track, but that fact that it has such on hold on those emotions is all the warning I need to down tools.

In a similar vein, but more euphoric emotions this time, this track from Momemntum Mobile tends to over excite me (therefore tools down). In particular, it's the harmonica that comes in at 4:00.
