Listened From John Lennon to Bob Dylan: Lou Reed’s 100 favourite songs of all time from faroutmagazine.co.uk

Not long before he passed away, Reed sat down with the Helsinki Music Club in an attempt to collect 100 of the songs he would consider the greatest of all time. That list of artists, rescued by Acclaimed Music, includes a typically adventurous mix of musicians which range from the likes of John Lennon and Bob Dylan to Outcast and Moe Tucker.

Listened Playlist: Carly Rae Jepsen’s Living Room Dance Party from NPR

NPR shares Carly Rae Jepsen summer playlist. It goes with a previous playlist of 102 summer tracks. I am always interested in what artists listen to and recommend. That is why I have been enjoying the Take5 podcast lately. I also like Spotify’s ability to share playlists. Although there are many things I like about Google Music, the ability to share is missing. I have yet to try YouTube Music. I am not sure if this is available there.
