Music recommendations requested! I listen to music most of the day when I'm at my desk. My Spotify/Amazon Music playlists have fallen into a bit of a rut. With absolutely no other context, what should I put on the headphones right now?

While going through a box sent up by my parents, I discovered my new hire packet from Disneyland circa 1991. I last worked a shift there in 1996. It’s been a while. What has changed?
