My kids are making me play K.K. Slider tracks from Wii's Animal Crossing City Folk in Brewster's Cafe (I am time traveling to Saturday). Cafe K.K. just played.
Every so often, I'll listen to this song, because it's just piano + ambient sounds of public transport, and that takes me back to when I used to regularly take the train.
I am listening to the raw sounds of my own ambient recordings.
What I have recorded so far: Waves at the beach in Calabria, Italy and the nightly concert of frogs and crickets in Sri Lanka https://on.soundcloud.com/Q7iqssGRtnLNQW8ivg
Mine is Divide and Conquer by Epica, and I would defs recommend it. It's not their best song I think, but it's still good and it's off my favorite album of theirs.
“Taxi to Baltimore Dub” by Scientist. It has an interesting genealogy: Randy Newman’s song “Baltimore” was done as a reggae cover by Nina Simone, then covered again by an actual reggae band called The Tamlins, which then got remixed/dubbed by Scientist. If you listen to Newman’s and then Scientist’s, they’re effectively unrecognizable in relation other than lyrical snippets. I absolutely recommend it.
"Prisoner's Awakening," from the Dead Cells soundtrack, which frequently comes up on my workday playlist. Definitely recommended, that game has an amazing soundtrack. Instrumental, varying from orchestra and acoustic guitar to sometimes electric guitar and synth (or, synth-like?) tracks.
I was listening to... Boston, Longtime / Foreplay. Quite the hard rock canon I suppose. Not my era or genre, but a great song. Going down the rabbit hole with this old band.
Memphis LK - Some Kinda Heaven. Pretty solid song if you like the Y2K Electronic/Hopecore type of sound. Fun fact: she is actually the daughter of Paul Kelly, who made legendary songs such as Dumb Things and To Her Door.
As The World Begins To Wane - Absent Moon - Chuck Salamone
Its like ballad or opera rock or something and it tells the story of what happens to the characters of Hylics after Hylics 2. I'd only recommend it if you played the Hylics series.
Currently I'm listening to Tom Waits' 1983 album Swordfishtrombones. The specific song playing is Frank's Wild Years although it switched to the title track while I was writing this comment.
Waits for sure has some great songs, but he's an excellent album artist and I would recommend Swordfishtrombones. It's one of his best albums and I would whole heartedly recommend it. Mule Variations, Bone Machine, and Rain Dogs are also fantastic albums. Fair warning though, Tom Waits is very polarizing, you either love him or absolutely hate him.
Far Horizons - Skyrim Soundtrack. And yes, it's simultaneously chill and makes me want to go stand on top of a mountain and gaze into the distance moodily.
I have a collection of video game soundtracks that I keep running at a quiet volume pretty much 24-7 for my cats because they have separation anxiety and I'm gone a lot. Skyrim, Oblivion, all 3 Witcher games, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Baldurs Gate 3, a couple of the Assassins Creed games, and a couple others are in there. Currently I have over 1000 songs in my main playlist that I run, but I have way more soundtracks that I don't have in that playlist.
My daughter and I have been listening to Jesse Welles' (Under the Power Lines versions) of Autumn and Anything But Me quite a lot. Certain is also fire, but a little too political for my 6-year-old to grasp.
What I hear right now:
Tuomas Holopainen - The Life and Times of Scrooge
(Genre: Celtic, Heavy Metal (don't agree with claim lol), Symphonic Rock, Rock)
Various - 攻殼機動隊 MEGATECH BODY.Cd.,LTD (Genre: Electro, Tech House, Techno)
Various other songs for which I am to lazy to list.
Usually EDM or J-pop/rock.

(label) Monstercat Uncaged/Silk
Akatsuki Records

Edit:
Forgot to mention, I mention, I really like the releases of "Eye" -> https://open.spotify.com/artist/3zqz8Khnygbv4LJia0v0iY (if you dislike spotify, the artist is also on YT)
Specifically "Majestic Sadistic" and "Domestic Drastic"
Edit: Now I'm about to go listen to "video killed the radio star" because I double-checked the tenforward link was correct and found a thread referencing that in there too. Why is it unusually musical tonight?
Edit 2: it is now the next morning, and "Who Put The Bomp?" remains stuck in my head. Send help.
My earworm. Haggard - Chapter I: Tales of Ithiria. Yes, I recommend it, but it's not their best album. I prefer And Thou Shalt Trust the Seer or Awaking the Centuries.
R.E.M. - Ages of You. It came up in random rotation of ~5000 MP3s I have on my phone. Great song. Reminds me of being young. I used to belt it out in the car driving around as a teenager. It's on Dead Letter Office which is a collection of b-sides they released in the mid-late 80s.
7/10. It was great background music while playing Satisfactory, but now that I'm actually focusing on it, it's pretty repetitive. Playlist started with Starcraft music - also a pretty good match for Satisfactory!
I don't have the album link, but I got the individual link to the song I was listening to while I found thus question: Last Words by nostraightanswer. It's part of their Specters album, which I have on CD and LOVE, so yes I recommend it. This song happens to be about the fear of others passing away.
It's my maybe 4th favorite in that album behind Empty ( about depression ), Lies In Their Blood ( school shootings ) and Face to Face ( dealing with a stalker ). It's a pretty serious album that manages not to be super dreary throughout the whole thing. Would recommend.
It doesn't have a title but it goes like "Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click."
It's my ceiling fan. I recommend it if you're hot.
There's multiple fans loudly humming next to me from various machines. One is constant, one is surging, and there's a few others ij the background. Add to this the vibration of the engine being tested and you have a truly symphonic experience.
