Here are YouTube Links to some of my favourite songs/ballads, done by the well Know singers.

Also, there is a very low bass singer that does the same songs and he is great and does an excellent video.

That's quite a list! It looks like you like country music. I like some of Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash's songs. My mother loved Johnny Cash and heard many of his records or 8-tracks (remember those?). Do you like Kenny Rogers?

Do you download your songs from YouTube or have a music streaming service? Amazon Prime has a deal now with 6 months for free on their music service.

I like a mix of types of music. Some country, mostly pop.
Kenny Rodgers had some good songs. Johnny Cash had a few good songs but I very seldom listen to them.
I normally don't download music. I just tune in a radio station that plays the songs I like hearing, at the time.

I guess we can all contribute with our own preferences???

I'll give only one, and it needs a good speaker system and volume. (I have a great system in the basement that is far from Marilyn. Good earphones might work.) Wear a hat and if the sound waves don't blow it off your head, turn up the volume more. This music goes back a bit, and the group 'Led Zepplin' are being honoured at the Kennedy Centre. And here's why I like it so much.

Heart sings the interesting lyrics. The music is constructed in 3 sections that gather in intensity. The musicians are exceptional. The  quiet,gentle first section builds and for the last third explodes into a wall of sound. One of the original band members watching is so moved he almost cries. This is not background music, which is sometimes called furniture music. It's something that you listen to, watch, and appreciate. The piece of music is exceptional. What a legacy for the band.

I love almost everything done by the Eagles although Hotel California is my favourite. The YouTube URL won't let me embed the video.

And you can't even seriously talk about music without mentioning Queen. And of course, the Beatles. Here's a couple:

Bohemian Rhapsody is probably the best and one radio station passed on it because it was too long. Another song took it and it became history.

Imagine by the Beatles. Some atheists have referred to this as their anthem.
