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

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 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.

HonestThe Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers – Honest (Audio)
HonestThe Chainsmokers

A standout track by The Chainsmokers, whose melodic work races headlong in a downer-tinged direction while remaining both hardcore and mainstream.

This comfortable yet commanding nighttime track deepens its world in a profoundly immersive way, setting the perfect mood for late hours.

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.
