Music for Working Creatively – I need your help!

I need your recommendations for music to listen to while I work, but first some context...

I run an marketing/ ad agency and like to listen all day to a variety of tunes through my mid-fi tube amp setup w Klipsch Heresy speakers.

The music can't be too hard or piercing (no AC/DC) but I do like music with a beat and rhythm.

Some favourites include: Classic Rock (Fleetwood Mac, The Cars, Dire Straits, etc), "Good" Country (Chris Stapleton, Merle, Willie, etc), HipHop/Electronic (Post Malone, Daft Punk)

Thanks in advance for your great suggestions:)

I like Yo Yo Ma but got to the point where I feel I can hear him more than the music.

Try Brandenburg Concertos as well as anything related to ancient music.

The Pretenders "Learning to Crawl"

I believe I remember Art Dudley writing that he liked listening to that lp every morning. Also, Chrissie is such a bad $ss.
