Help me build a new playlist

My workout playlist has more than a thousand tunes, but it’s getting stale. I need a bunch of new-to-me tunes.

Please throw some suggestions my way. My requests:

  • Limit your post(s) to three (ok, five if you must) songs that you really, really like.
  • No rap, no disco, no EDM, no classical, no opera, no techno.
  • Any era is fine, 1950s-present. 60s-70s music would probably have to be deep cuts.
  • Even though it is a workout playlist, it doesn’t necessarily have to be upbeat or intended to pump me up, just looking for some new, good music.
  • Links are fine, but not required.

Thanks!

Here are some favorites I recently rediscovered (sorry there are 6 and I couldn’t pick one to remove):
The Kinks - Better Things, Waterloo Sunset
Tom Petty - Yer So Bad, Good Enough, Ankle Deep
Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love

Though you specify “new to you” and don’t require upbeat, here’s three songs from within the last year-ish that are uptempo and have me tapping the steering wheel. I’ll reserve my potential extras in case there’s more direction later.

Maddy Jane, “Thylacine”
The Happy Fits, “Cruel Power”
Lights, “Education”
