The Who - Eminence Front (Live)
WTF ?
When needing to “chill out” I usually utilize the “free with Prime” Amazon Music channels like “Liquid Mind” “Spa” or “Secret Garden”. If you have Amazon Prime check them out...included with your Prime account.
If needing a smile, this should provide a good LYAO!

This is less than 5 min long even with the ad, but just don’t be planning to go to sleep in half an hour. (I really should record this for when I get drowsy on a long drive!)

The 40th Anniversary reissue of “Permanent Waves” by Rush. Besides the album, it also includes 12 live songs from their 1980 tour (I saw them 3 times on that tour.)
Still waiting for the CDs, but thanks to Amazon, I was able to download the MP3s using their “Auto-Rip,” plus the music is available for me to listen on-line in my library.

My favorites are typically classic 70s rock, along with progressive rock (Yes, Genesis/Peter Gabriel, Rush, Pink Floyd, Todd Rundgren/Utopia.)
I also LOVE female vocalists, particularly if they're in Prog... Kate Bush is my #1. Renaissance is another. Animal Logic, Evenessence, Tori Amos, Jewel, Happy Rhodes.
I just LOVE watching YouTube where young people today are discovering 50 year old music and are completely blown away.
In my case, I recently "discovered" a band on YouTube from the early 70s called "Fanny." An all-female band, they were AMAZING! If you love 70s rock, you'll love them. David Bowie and Lowell George were fans of theirs (and invited them to open for them on tour.) Had I been born 3 or 4 years earlier, I would have heard them at the time. At their height, I was only 10, but by 13 I was so into Rock and Roll. I must have seen them when they performed on the Sonny & Cher show, but I don't remember it. I was just too young.

Life During Wartime by the Talking Heads
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I’m getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto
I’ve lived all over this town
[Chorus 1]
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
This ain’t no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain’t got time for that now
[Verse 2]
Transmit the message, to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas
You don’t even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
Everything’s ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
I might not ever get home

Joni Mitchell - Hejira (particular emphasis on “Amelia”)
Very nice 15-minute video on why this song (Amelia) is simply extraordinary...by a fellow musician
