The Beatles, triggered by watching Eight Days A Week, Ron Howard's documentary on the Fab Four.
I've been going on spotify radio adventures. It lead me to an artist I had never heard of called JD McPherson and I'm really enjoying it today.
I want to share this lovely record I heard at a booth at a hifi expo I went to last weekend and have listened to a few times since then. This booth had a broad collection of well-recorded Chinese music.
We came home with this one: The Crescent Moon Illuminates the World. It opens with a fabulous acoustic guitar and wastes no time getting into other fascinating musical traditions. We were told by the folks at the booth that it was recorded in Germany and is all inspired by Chinese music.
As a crossover with what I've been playing lately, loaded up my main playlist with music from the cyberpunk OST. I'm not sure which songs were specifically commissioned and which were just licensed (I assume there's some since there's an option to disable copyrighted tracks), but there's such a solid variety. Edgerunners had a good sampling (still think I Really Want to Stay at Your House is the best song on the soundtrack), but there's just so much there to love, Likewise, Hole in the Sun, Pain, Violence, Makes Me Feel Better, Chippin In. Great for the atmosphere, decent sample of genres, and great songs.
The early classical music that used to play in the hangar screen of War Thunder:

Man, I miss looking at those old riveted tanks and canvas biplanes.
Been exploring resonate.coop and found about Jason Murray. He has an album called "By a Thread" that expresses his feelings towards the Climate crisis. It's slow paced, acoustic folk and I enjoyed it a lot.
