Random songs that you suddenly notice are very good.

I was listening to my daylist on Spotify and it played the JD Souther song "You're Only Lonely". I was never a JD Souther fan, but man, that reminded me of Roy Orbison. Maybe it was because it reminded me a little of "Only the Lonely". I always liked the song but I guess it hit a certain way today.

Illusions by Cypress Hill

I hated disco but I just listened to "Night Fever" by the Bee Gees and that is a well recorded song, with some great musicianship.
The orchestra arrangement is really pretty.
...and they sang really well in that song.
I haven't really listened to it in like 40 years.
Great song.

The Bee Gees were fantastic vocalists. I am more of a fan of the pre-Disco stuff, but there is no doubt they always put together great performances, even the disco era stuff

It is! That's kind of what made me stream "Night Fever".

The remix that was used in the opening of Warfare was rocking’.

Steve Winwood, in general, is someone I find I appreciate more now than I did during the heyday of his solo career. I especially appreciate his singing with Spencer Davis, Traffic, and Blind Faith. Traffic, in particular, lately.

I knew about this group for years but didn't know anything about them beyond the name. Then I heard this recently.
You can hear the influences of southern rock and blues all over it. So fricking sweet!
PS - I watched a video on the band and they opened some shows for Lynyrd Skynyrd on the Street Survivors tour and Ronnie Van Zandt was going to produce their 3rd album after the tour ended. Then the Freebird went down and took Mama's Pride's career with it. The album never got made and the group disbanded.

Not my personal style either but Hot Chocolate has some hidden gems.

Had this sort of happen to me with "The Stable Song" by Gregory Alan Isakov. The first few times I listened to it I thought it was a decent song but not a standout. But then recently I heard it again for the first time in quite a while and it blew me away how actually great that song is.

back in the 80’s tears for fears was all over the radio and I lumped them in with all the other new wave lightweights of the time. Now 40 years later their songs have stood the test of time and listening to them now I realize how creative and talented those two guys were. Beautifully written songs with strong lyrics

I heard Change at lunch. I think I like it more now than I did back then.

I was never a huge Tears For Fears fan but I heard this song on Sirius a year or two ago. I think I even posted about it cuz I couldn’t believe how much I liked it.
Especially at the 2:06 mark ahhh so good!!

Gary Numan's first band Tubeway Army. He would always play this at his shows but never thought much of it until it popped up on my algorithm about a month ago.
Live in 2018 Still bringing it at that age.

No doubt. I liked them back then, like them even better now.

Probably New Kid In Town and Good Vibrations (listening to it at the end of Smile is different from listening to it on am radio).

Both good choices.
I think for me, when I was younger and as I aged, I went through cycles like many do. Pushed away from anything pop, painted myself into genre corners occasionally, and ignored many popular artists as too commercial. Sometimes even tried to convince myself I did not like certain songs that I knew I did. Later, I realized I missed a lot of good music, either altogether or missed truly experiencing it in its fullness (if all that makes any sense to you guys), or I did not give it the due it deserved.
I did go through all that fairly quickly, but I eventually realized that great music will always transcend genre, whether it is technically great or just great at reaching into the soul.
OK, rant over
