A Robot Playlist – The Top 40
This is a work in progress.
Please make suggestions of your own in the comments section, bearing in mind the music is intended for Daniel (age 3). (He likes the first three songs on this list.) So some stuff has been omitted deliberately. It has to be Safe For Home. Criteria for inclusion is mostly based around the beat, but not entirely. Space age cuts it, too. And I’m sure there’s a whole bunch of Top 10 disco-style robotic music I’m missing.
If someone wants to create a Spotify or YouTube playlist based on this, and send me the link, that would be awesome.
