The effect of our mood on listening to music

Nov. 15, on the way home from the Stars game:
Crosby, Stills & Young, "Southern Cross", I forgot the year. I think we had it a day or two ago, and I think I said 3,100.
I think this is the same countdown that I had earlier. We've got Sylvia, "Nobody". I don't know if I need to switch to another channel or let it go.
I turned off Sirius XM and probably listened to ESPN radio. Didn't get back to listening and recording my thoughts until Nov. 17.
REO Speedwagon, "Keep on Loving You" from '81. 1,600.
Pat Benatar, "Hit Me with Your Best Shot". Early '80s anyway. 2,200. I like the way it ends. Good work with the guitar and drums. As I write this, I'm perplexed as to why I would have rated REO higher. Both good songs, but this was Pat's best. I recall my college friend Jim Fellabaum's telling me how good Pat was in concert, and I'm still inclined to believe him. I'll probably adjust these to something like 1,700 or even higher for Pat and 1,800-1,900 for REO. Or maybe keep REO where it is and jump Pat even higher (1,400?).
Level 42, "Something About You", 4,500, possibly slightly higher.
ZZ Top, "Legs" from '84. 1,200.
Paul Kerick?, I think it's "Don't Shed a Tear", don't remember the year. 4,650.
Dead or Alive, I think it's "Brand New Lover", about '84. 4,600.
A side note: I sounded tired or possibly distracted (by traffic?) on this recording, which would explain why I wasn't sure of so many names, song titles and years. Perhaps I was inclined to downgrade the mertis of these songs because I lacked enthusiasm. That is the effect of our mood on the music, instead of the other way around. No big problems with the 4,000-somethings, but perhaps REO, Pat and ZZ will move up.
Till Tuesday, "Voices Carry", I think it's around '84. When they sing something that sounds like "It's so scary," it's probably "Voices carry." 4,450
Bruce Springsteen, "Cover Me". I'm still thinking '84. 4,200.
Ratt, "Round and Round", I forget the year. 4,300.
Sly Fox, "Let's Go All the Way" from '86. 4,600.
Dire Straits, "Money for Nothing", '85. 800.
Huey Lewis and the News, "Bad Is Bad", '83. 4,250.
