which my husband laughs at me for. But it's just so mellow, and melodic

My all time favorite is "Where or When"

Look how many people covered it:
58. Where Or When
Ray Heatherton & Mitzi Green Hal Kemp Artie Shaw Shirley Bassey(U.K.) The Beach Boys Ray Anthony Julie Andrews(U.K.) Patti Page The Four Lads Tony Bennett Dave Brubeck Al Hibbler Dion & The Belmonts(Doo Wop Ballad) Perry Como Marcus Roberts Natalie Cole Harry James Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra(German) Duke Ellington Gene Krupa & His Orchestra Peggy Lee The Letterman Barry Manilow Julie London Dean Martin Johnny Mathis Steve Lawrence Judy Collins Andy Williams Art Tatum Harry Connick Jr. George Michael(U.K.) Les Paul & Mary Ford Carly Simon The Supremes Stan Getz Kenny Rogers Nat King Cole

and death metal to be more specific but that doesn't rule out other types of metal.

I do feel metal is different enough to deserve its own category even while acknowledging that rock encompasses most all pop music that isn't jazz, classical or country and maybe a couple other things I'm not thinking of.

I didn't really have a favorite, but that's not true.

While I like a variety of genres, I do like Classic Rock the best. Probably because the songs evoke so many memories of my youth-hood.

It fits my answer and the time frame.
For my tastes, Steve Perry made Journey less listenable.
