i definitely believe Jesus would like some of it
Not when one understands the purpose of music and why it was created by the Lord.

There is no secular music in Heaven... simply because it is not work done FOR the Lord and is instead work done for self or for other reasons such as to become rich, fore notoriety, or to express one's idolatry as the worship things / being other than the Lord Jesus.

When the future gets here, we'll find out.

we're on earth now, not heaven! the Bible does say somewhere, i've been told, that only the Lord writes a symphony. that certainly sin't the only form of a song. i have never heard an ungodly classical tune, that is, of Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, etc. there are scores & scores of rock music that is not ungodly. it sounds like you are saying people should ONLY write Christian music to glorify God. i don't believe that that is true. i could be incorrect, i never looked it up.

In the 60-70's not all of us were wearing our saint hats ergo we have favorites for nostalgic reasons. This was and is a favorite of mine still, hallelujah🙌

Many times a song will take me back to a happy memory, especially from the '60s.

This reminds me of one night warm & safe and hearing a train sound it's horn in the distance.

I love this song, too, it takes me back to a day at High School when I sang it.

Indeed. A lot of these songs remind us of happy childhood memories. Glory to God for blessing us with a happy childhood because some children unfortunately suffer during their childhoods.

Here‘s Hank Marvin’s Apache released somewhere around 1960s.

page & plant covered that tune also!
Watch it, there are people on this site who equate listening to secular music to living worldly lives LOL

Not a huge Zepp fan, but I do have a couple of downloaded songs.

Neil Diamond’s roadie Larry E Williams wrote this track, but Diamond turned it down. However,
his drummer recommended it to The Bellamy Brothers, after Gene Cotton recorded it first.

David Bellamy said of the song: “It was the perfect song for us and became the key to our career.”
It re-entered the UK charts in late 2008, when it was used in a Barclays TV advert.

One of Elton's best loved songs Tiny Dancer from 1971 was Bernie Taupin's attempt to capture
the mood of California in 1970, and was dedicated to Maxine Feibelman, his first wife.

there's an error in the send. i don't know if you can fix it Magenta. i saw elton in concert in Albany in the early 90's. i didn't really want to go but my then g.f. wanted to see him. i was a bit disappointed because there were a bunch of hit songs he didn't play. all in all, it was a fine show. he & bernie are fantastic writers. love that tune.
