Brazilian Legends: Jorge Ben, Gal Costa, and Elza Soares
If you are newcomers to Ben, Costa, and Soares, a lot of their recordings are only available on Spotify or Youtube. I would particularly recommend Jorge Ben's Ben É Samba Bom and O Bidu, Costa's Fa Tal: Gal a Todo Vapor and 1969, and Soares' Elza Pede Passagem and Se Acaso Você Chegasse.
Late Update: Since the subject is Brazilian Legends, I've reupped both Caetano Veloso collections as well as the Brazil Classics compilation.

'80's Torch and Twang - Disc 6
And the same kinda goes for music. There are definitely albums I liked in the 1990s that I don't really listen to anymore and some even sound a bit dated, but it's still different than listening to music in the 1980's that was made in the 1940's. For one thing, there's very little music from the 1940's that you would have heard in the 1980's unless you actively searched it out or it happened to be in a commercial or popular movie. Whereas now, when I show my students the top 20 hits from 1983 or 1984, most of them have heard probably half of the most popular songs from the 1980's.
Nonetheless, in putting this compilation together, I sometimes wonder how 18-21 year-olds are likely to perceive the music. It's really less about whether they like it or dislike it, but is it seen as "ancient" or "old-timey"? So if anyone happens to play this for a young'un that they know, please ask them what they think of it. :)
Hope everyone likes the last volume of the compilation. Was a lot of fun making it and I'm always open to making one more volume if there's enough artists that I forgot to include in the first six volumes.
