The whole album, but the title track specifically:
And a big band version of Jobim's bossa nova classic "Brazil." (Yes the movie is named after it.)
 
Was ABBA only a thing because the blonde one had a giant mouth and alsways made strage things with her tongue while singing?
 
A song talking about the damages of Woodstock. For some weird reason YouTube thought this was for children and 2 years later they still haven't fixed it.
A song that unfortunately cannot be made today.
Some weird album I just found.
Early electronic sounding and just overall really nice song.
 
If you had told me a few years ago that I would start constantly listening to songs from a fat balding Canadian who died almost 40 years ago I would of laughed at you.
Then I found Stan Rogers
 
Cheap Trick is one of those bands that seems like a normal classic rock band, but they have have some very fucked up shit bubbling up under the surface of their material.

They have a song that is written from the hypothetical viewpoint of a sex offender called 'Daddy Should Have Stayed in High School'. Just as you would expect it is creepy and off-putting.


Then they have a song called the 'Ballad of TV Violence' which is a reference to the mass murderer/rapist Richard Speck, and the entire song has a morbid and dark atmosphere as the subject is portrayed as going off the rails for the entire duration.
