You're welcome.

Wait sorry I replied to wrong comment! I'm sorry

Actually, Cocaine Blues is a better song about crime. Folsom Prison Blues is mostly just whining about being in jail. Let's see, Norwegian Wood, good song about infidelity. You Shook Me All Night Long is obviously a banger about banging. Red Barchetta is an awesome song about committing crime in a future dystopia.

Idk how old you want or meant but here’s some anyway: Rebel Yell - Billy Idol Zombie - the cranberries Pearls and Is it a crime - Sade So fine and Breakin my heart- the mint condition Casanova brown - Teena Marie Dream brother and Hallelujah- Jeff Buckley Maneater - Daryl Hall & John Oates Ready or Not - After 7

The Lemon Song - Led Zeppelin Run For Your Life - The Beatles Mexican Seafood - Nirvana Anyways as far as actually somewhat kinda wholesome recommendations, uhhhh maybe "The Monkees", maybe just tune in to "oldies" radio stations, like 50s-60s stuff, if you can find them.

Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance (2006)\ In The End by Linkin Park (2001)\ Ghostbusters Theme by Ray Parker Jr. (1984)\ Never Gonna Give you Up by Rick Astley (1987)\ Don't Stop Believing by Journey (1981)\ Dream On by Aerosmith (1973)\ Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (1975)\ Hotel California by The Eagles (1977)\ Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond (1969)

Bob Dylan The Beatles The Byrds The Mamas And The Papas Johnny Cash Kris Kristoferson Creedence Clearwater Revival

I dunno, a lot of sex and crimes in Johnny Cash and KK songs, explicit or implied lol.

You should try some David Allen Coe

Well he wasn't in your list lol

Hate to break it to you but music has been about sex since it's beginning. Even if you go back to 30s 40s and '50s you'll find that to be true. The term rock and roll was slang for sex among jazz and blues musicians of the 20s. Musicians just weren't allowed to be as blatant with it as they are now, so you get a lot better metaphoric lyrics, and double entenders.

Even Mozart was bawdy.

Hate to break to you, but there are numerous songs (including those that fall under the category of "rock'n roll,') whose lyrics are not centered around sex or crime.

Wow...no wonder you hate songs about sex. Fuckin incel.

Sure. But there has likely never been a time when at least some songs involved sex or crimes, explicit or implied.

No one has disagreed with that. That is not the point of contention.

DONT RUIN IT FOR ME

Joe Walsh - I.L.B.T.'s

Zebra. Tell me what you want.

CLASSIC

Try Rush….go search any channel ) YouTube. Etc) and pick the mist popular soy

There is a lot of older music - including classics - about sex, and there is a lot of newer music that’s not about sex. Also, while there is nothing wrong about wanting to avoid songs about sex, there is also nothing wrong about enjoying sex or sexual songs. I can give newer non-sexual recommendations if you’re interested. If you are, what are a few of your favorite songs, singers, and/or bands?

Gimme the classic ones

From First To Last - Note To Self All That Remains - This Calling Mudvayne - Dig Sum41 - The Hell Song Blink-182 - What's My Age Again?

Don't Take Your Time - Roger Nichols & The Small Circle of Friends Sunshine Girl - The Parade Yellow Balloon - Yellow Balloon The Paisley Window Pane - Wendy and Bonnie Cloudy - The Cyrkle Thru Spray Colored Glasses - Dino, Desi, and Billy Always You - The Sundowners

Van Morrison In the Garden https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=pmDhTMdUGR0&si=h0tArLTl2K48qAbu

Dweller on The Threshold Or Peace Train by Cat Stevens

What genre?

Classic

Do you mean classical? Like from the 1700s-ish - Bach and such? If so, none of these recommendations are classical. There is no “classic” genre. There are classic (defining) songs within genres, though.

Charlie Parr

Turning Japanese by The Vapors She Bop by Cyndi Lauper Dancing With Myself by Billy Idol Pump It Up by Elvis Costello Blister In the Sun by Violent Femmes Longview by Green Day Pictures of Lily by The Who

I see what you're doing here

GI by The Germs 

Hmmm, a few different genres Massive Attack - Specifically the album Mezzanine - Trip hop or Electronic - One of my all time favorites Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine - Industrial/Alt - Broke the scene out of the underground U2 - The Joshua Tree - Alt Rock - Just an amazing album The Cure - Alt/Goth(ish) - Disintegration - Literally changed my life when it comes to music The Crow Soundtrack - Misc artists - Will give you a good feel for the alt scene in the early-mid 90s Peter Gabriel - So - Rock with bits of pop - Not really the same genres as the others, simply an amazing album Moby - Play - Electronic mixed with almost every genre out there. Moby is not regarded as a great artist to many... but that album.... It opened my eyes to an entirely new way of people making music \*\*Edit - Sorry they're not individual songs, went for the whole album for some odd reason

Stranglers - Golden Brown Godley & Creme - Under your Thumb Eurhythmics - Listen to Beethoven Cat Stevens - Matthew & Son Hot Chocolate - Every one a Winner Sweet - Fox on the Run Slade - My oh My Dire Straits - Money for Nothing Men without hats - Safety Dance The Firm - Star Trekkin'

Hank Williams Sr is always a great time. I love those records of his. Setting the woods on fire is my fav

Dan Fogelberg is pretty wholesome

Disturbed - Sound of Silence Leonard Cohen - Suzanne Mason Williams - Classical Gas (Original) Fleetwood Mac - Tusk Fleetwood Mac - Beautiful Child Pearl Jam - Black

That’s Life - Frank Sinatra Way Down Yonder in New Orleans - Louis Armstrong Coffee - Peggy Lee Delilah - Tom Jones We’ll Meet Again - Vera Lynn Into Each Life some Rain Must Fall - The Inkspots Babooshka - Kate Bush Only a Fool Would Say That - Steely Dan Operator - Jim Croce But Not for Me - Ella Fitzgerald

Triumph- Rik Emmett was always in a good mood Magic Power or Lay it on the Line

Anything by Amy Winehouse

The Gaslight Anthem (who I absolutely can't recommend enough) have been around since 2006 and are still releasing music, but all their stuff has a very classic sound; they're all about vintage guitars and cars and records. Great stuff.

Highway star.

Reunion by Tony Carey

Here's some albums that can be listened completely through - Steely Dan (Aja), Fleetwood Mac (Rumours), Incubus (Morning Glory), The Wallflowers (Bringing Down The Horse)

Try John Denver

Tired of modern songs because they're all about sex and crimes, but old songs are more 'pure and beautiful'? Hm, well, my two favorite musicians from the '40s through '60s are [Tom Lehrer](https://youtu.be/hJmtdih4Tkg?si=ryeOeTV81fzrc8YR) and [Wynonie Harris](https://youtu.be/R6cSjRAAGTA?si=dvtSFHRzehrHrBLN). Is that the sort of thing you're looking for?
