THIS IS THE ULTIMATE PLAYLIST OF BAND MUSIC EVER CREATED!!! I have been studying wind band music for over two decades. Basically, the playlist is centered around about a dozen recordings of Lincolnshire Posy, half a dozen recordings of the Hindemith Symphony in B-Flat, lots of Maslanka and Gillingham, and several respected works for all levels of band. I favor recordings with powerful French Horn, expressive (including explosive) percussion, full and mature edgy brass, and unexpected emotional musical interpretations. The list is in an order that is meant to be listened to without being on shuffle. SO, find one of your favorites and let it play!!!

In the late '60s, a freeform San Francisco radio station played one of the first albums of ocean sounds (Environments 1) for two straight weeks during a strike. Rolling waves, trickling streams, the steady lifeblood of Mother Earth—nothing soothes quite like water. Whether you’re in a big city, landlocked, or just want to bring the sound a little closer to your ear, here’s a playlist of water recordings designed to help calm you down and drift off to sleep. Our editors do move things around now and then, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library. Then turn off, relax, and float downstream.

A term that first gained currency in the late 2000s, Dad Rock began as an irony-laden put-down for younger acts that still adhered to the lessons and values of their guitar-toting predecessors from a previous generation. Yet for the songwriters and fans who still found plenty to discover and enjoy in heritage acts like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Bruce Springsteen, Dad Rock has become a badge of honor, one that’s proudly worn on denim jackets while their owners are out pushing strollers or attending Little League games. What’s more, many of the acts who fly those colors treat the canon as a springboard for their own explorations and innovations, whether it’s My Morning Jacket’s cosmic country, The National’s emotive and epic anthems, or Wilco’s ever-shifting take on Americana and more. Clearly, these dads still mean business.
