Pete Gossett turned me into them and I need to listen to them more.
But I gotta be in the right mood
That's fair. 90% of the music I listen to is background to desk work, so "in the mood" can be the 4-hour stretch from after lunch to quitting time.
This one is surprisingly groove-ish from some old German nerds:

I usually listen to music with purpose so if I'm not on the mood I change genres
Chris Rea - Road to Hell (live at Royal Albert Hall)
(Can anyone spot what kind of watch Chris is wearing?)

That’s cool, I'm introducing my 17 year old daughter to Dark Side of the Moon. We listened to Time, now I've got The Great Gig in The Sky cued up while she does some chores.
Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel. Nice. (I first heard this great music in the excellent movie "Ordinary People" in 1980, particularly the closing scene and credits).
O. Winston Link’s recording of a Norfolk & Western Class J #603 powering “The Pelican” at Rural Retreat, Virginia on "Christmas Eve, 1957". Although this recording is presented all the time online and elsewhere as"Christmas Eve 1957," and the photo is from Christmas Eve, the recording Link and his assistant made that Christmas Eve night was deemed technically flawed. Link then asked the church organist to repeat the performance three nights later on December 27th, 1957. Link released an edited version of this clip on one of his LP recordings.
This is the corrected "liner notes": "Train 42 'The Pelican' headed by N&W 4-8-4 Class J 603, arrives at Rural Retreat, VA eastbound from New Orleans to Washington shortly before 10pm Dec. 27th, 1957, and thunders off into the night. The Norfolk & Western Railway's own Class J was perhaps the finest of all express steam engines, and 603 is heard here in its last days of main line service with a consist of 17 cars. The photograph shows the train being waved through by Agent J.L. Akers. The photograph and sound recording were by O. Winston Link and his assistant Corky Zider who operated a Tapesonic recorder and non-directional microphone; chimes were played specially for the recording at the nearby Grace Lutheran Church by Mrs. Kathryn Dodson. Seven nights later, steam motive power would come to an end on the N&W main line through Rural Retreat and Bristol."

Good man! Great music. One of the greatest bands of all time. Glad you're introducing your daughter to this music. I'm a big fan of David Gilmour. He did one of his final North American tour stops in NYC (Madison Square Garden) back in early November, which was closest to me. Best value tickets I could find were $3,500. I stayed home and listened to PF and David on Sonos. Much more comfortable. BTW, I also liked the keyboard guy, Richard Wright. Did I say it was great music? 😁
(David and Richard in the 70s).
And we all get old. Here's Richard before he passed in 2008:
And David recently ... but had more hair than today:

You're right, she nailed it.
When I was a kid I used to hear this on the radio all the time and I loved it. I think I looked it up a few years ago, probably for the same reason, but I heard it in a bank commercial recently and had to hear it again.
Came across this last night. As a casual enjoyed of city pop, I approve.
