I listen to many genres of music, but the largest chunk of my personal listening has been to classical music. I don't know how many Pandora members are CM connoisseurs, there is certainly a very rich catalog of classical repertory available but I lament that Pandora's CM radio stations sometimes don't distinguish between major composers (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi) and middle-of-the-road "mood music" that's not classified as classical. I've had stuff like Mantovani and Mancini pop up in some sessions where I anticipated Mozart. CM is what I'd classify as influential and inspirational, even if it's only about 1% of music streams. Jazz and contemporary Christian worship music are also meaningful to me, along with a smattering of '60s through '80s rock and pop. FYI Pandora's Contemporary Christian Radio and Classic Country Radio channels are exceptionally awesome!

Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings, a 30-minute four-movement suite for string orchestra. Uplifting and upbeat. Chet Atkins and Les Paul: "Chester and Lester". Two of the greatest 20th century guitar virtuosos play a variety of selections together, in a spontaneous style. This is life-giving music! Sammy Davis Jr., "The Candy Man" from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. "Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew, Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two?" This is life-giving music and fun, with a dose of nostalgia included. You might experience tears of joy while playing this.... Ray Stevens: "Everything is Beautiful" This song dates from 1970 and celebrates the simple beauty of life. This might also bring tears of joy, it's very life-affirming.
