Brushing up on my history  :P

Boney M- Rasputin
Iron Maiden- Alexander the Great
Neil Young- Cortez the Killer
Billy Joel- We Didn't Start the Fire
The Royal Guardsmen- Snoopy vs the Red Baron
They Might Be Giants- Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
Bastille- Pompeii
The Band- The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Not bad. You need to add Roger Waters' "Watching TV" which does a good rundown of the Chinese Revolution.

Hey, he's a great songwriter.

Just not such a great historian.

My eleven year old son nearly died laughing when he heard this song about how, under the Aztecs, "war was never known".  :D

Just for you, next time I'll listen to the Dave Matthews version Alexa keeps trying to foist on me.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Diana Ross - The Feeling We Once Had
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Can you give some examples from Post-teen Pop? First I've heard of this category

Apple Music is quite boring this time of year compared to Spotify. No bells and whistles. :(

I've never heard of it either. Spotify name, I guess.  Here's a playlist from them of it, which largely looks like pop that millennials (in the sense including myself of coming of age around 2000) would know and like.
