Steely Dan
Steely Dan’s smooth, meticulously crafted songs often find their way into environments where unobtrusive background music is preferred. For example:
- A doctors office waiting room
- The DMV
- An elevator
- Super market aisle
- Call center hold music
- A dentist chair during a root canal
- My parents Subaru in the early 90s listening to Memphis’s top smooth rock station FM 100.
Truly the sound of purgatory. I wanted to round up because I guess it sounds okay…but if I have to listen to any more of this I might inflict pain on myself.

Joni Mitchell
If I realized one thing through this exercise is that Joni Mitchell is like nails on a chalkboard for me. This felt like pretentious hippy poetry and every time she came in I wanted to punch something like Randy needed to punch Brennan in Step Brothers.

Taylor Swift
I drank too much and watched too much Netflix during the pandemic. Tswift dropped two unplanned albums. Quite impressive.
This, along with folklore, were on heavy rotation for me at the time and seemed to fit the mood. So as they say, music takes you back to a moment in time, many of those memories are wrapped in this album (the good and bad).
I’m a big fan of Jack Antonoff as well and you can hear his influences throughout.

The The
Man, fuck Matt Johnson and his stupid band name and this stupid album. My life would have been better if I hadn’t tried to listen to this. Somebody take away his Casio keyboard!

Eels
Life is hard. And so am I. Takes some balls to start a song like that and then jump right into the chorus. That was really the only song I recognized from these guys and felt like there was a reason for that.
