Many people I know already subscribe to Amazon Prime so they can receive benefits such as free two-day shipping on most items plus the ability to stream TV shows and movies through Amazon Prime Video.

What you may not realize is that your Amazon Prime subscription includes – absolutely free of charge – Amazon Prime Music. This dynamite music stream service lets you listen to your favorite tunes at home, at work or anywhere else, free of ads and featuring top artists like Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Simon and Garfunkel, Billy Joel, Elton John, Maroon 5, Elvis Presley, James Taylor, Duran Duran and much more.

You’ll find modern pop and rock songs along with songs from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and beyond. You can choose from among Amazon’s curated stations and playlists, or create your own playlists with songs included in the service.

I used to listen to Spotify at work, but got tired of the same old music all the time. Plus, their playlists seem to be all over the place. I’d hear Lady Gaga songs when listening to a 1970s playlist. I’d hear an Elvis Presley song on a 1980s playlist. And so forth.

I like some songs by Elvis and Lady Gaga, and a lot of the other artists whose music appeared in decades in which they weren’t even alive to record music. I just expect playlists to actually play music from the decade or genre in the description.
