Great Western Music Classics to Listen to Late at Night (71–80)

TrueSpandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet – True (HD Remastered)
TrueSpandau Ballet

The title track from the 1983 album True.

A four-piece pop band from London formed in 1979.

It’s a mid-tempo number that unfolds with a moody rhythm and a wet, mellow melody line, topped by deeply expressive vocals that really hit you in the chest.

The way the break comes in partway through is interesting and cool, too.

FMSteely Dan

Steely Dan is a band from the United States.

Their sound was highly refined and polished—unlike anything that had come before.

“FM” is a song featured in the 1978 film FM.

Although the film itself was not a hit at all, the song, which was included in it, became a success and is still highly regarded today.

Masterpieces of Western Music to Listen to Late at Night (81–90)

My HumpsThe Black Eyed Peas

This is a classic by the Black Eyed Peas, a group that has long reigned in the scene with a style that constantly embraces trends—from a sound rooted in hip-hop and reggae to incorporating electronic dance music.

Though they originally produced hard-edged underground music, their ability to approach the latest styles with high sophistication is remarkable.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to at night.

The Downtown LightsThe Blue Nile

The Blue Nile – The Downtown Lights (Official Audio)
The Downtown LightsThe Blue Nile

The Blue Nile is a band from Scotland, United Kingdom.

“The Downtown Lights” is a track from their 1989 album Hats.

The album’s CD jacket featured a striking image: a black silhouette of a person wearing a hat against a blue background.

Reflecting the mood of that image, the album is filled with introspective atmosphere, and this track is a standout.

Its uniquely soothing, wave-like sway makes it a perfect listen before drifting off to sleep at night.

HumanThe Human League

Included on the 1986 album “Crash.” A three-piece synth-pop band from the UK formed in 1977.

The song’s appeal lies in its beautiful use of space—melodies that make effective use of an airy, almost hollow atmosphere—set against a mid-tempo progression with a slightly hard-edged rhythm.

I think that works well.

Your Wildest DreamsThe Moody Blues

The Moody Blues – Your Wildest Dreams
Your Wildest DreamsThe Moody Blues

Included on the 1986 album “The Other Side of Life.” A three-piece rock band from Birmingham formed in 1964.

Listening to the vocals gliding lightly over a mid-tempo, bass-forward rhythm and a refreshingly poppy melody, you can’t help but think: veterans really are on a different level.
