Casual Friday open thread: Who’s on your music playlist?

Welcome to Casual Friday! This is the community water-cooler spot where we venture away from Seattle Seahawks talk for much less contentious topics.

For whatever reason this has been one of our most popular off-topic open threads over the years, so I’m going to recycle what works. Music! I personally can’t get enough of music and I need it in my ears and running through my veins. My musical tastes have a strong preference for the 1980s-1990s (and a sprinkling of the early 2000s), but I’d describe my playlist as eclectic. I’ll also defend to the death the Yacht Rock genre and the term itself.

Here’s a sampling of my playlist:

Bus Stop – The Hollies
Say It Right – Nelly Furtado
I Don’t Want You Anymore – Bill Champlin
