Former US President Barack Obama posted his Summer Playlist on X (formerly Twitter).
Looks to me to be an interesting mix of genres, from oldies to current day.

Pretty good actually! He has a nice eclectic taste in genres, styles, and generations of music. I don’t like all of them, and many wouldn't be on my playlist, but if it were playing in someone’s car, I wouldn't be begging them to change it. But it’s probably not HIS playlist, it’s more than likely curated to make him appear middle of the road in his taste of music. Not too many people like Country, R&B, AND Classic rock… Just sayin’
Hope this helps.

@AviatorTom Thank you so much for the MHO Tom, I truly appreciate it.

A guy asked him questions about things on his list and Obama could not answer him cause this is a fake list his team made to make himself seem culturally relevant. He doesn’t actually listen to his list or read his list. His PR time writes the list and he gets credit for it.
I think I know two of these.
I have serious doubts that this is really what he listens to and more just endorsing his friends with free advertising while throwing in a couple oldies to look diverse and cultured. It's pretty well documented exactly who he listened to as president, and at least two high profile ones are notably absent from this list, almost certainly because they came out as Republicans.
This list was carefully compiled by some publicist so he looks cool. Just like his so called favorite basketball team that he could not name one single player.

I've only listened to nine of those... the rest would be new to me
I guess he don't listen to pop FM much lol - and I ain't even American and I do like Obama - anyways.
No country music, so I guess former Pres. Obama isn't a black cowboy !!!
It's pretty eclectic, which means he's not a dumb ass (even though I don't agree with his politics)
I know 2 (no diggity and I can't get satisfaction) probably would listen to Bob Marley too
I love bits and pieces of his list and that’s all I’m gonna say
Crap... how the hell did he even pick Dylan's WORST song?
It's a playlist curated by the music industry and Hollywood at great effort to make him look cool. No 63 year old man would ever listen to that music.
Kind of surpised nothing by The Staple Singers
It’s so fake I don’t understand why he still needs this kind of easy pr moves.
Not much on there that I would ever play.
@OlderAndWiser Just curious, you don't like the Stones and "Satisfaction", one of the all-time greatest?
I am not a huge fan of the Rolling Stones but I do like, Angie, Paint It Black, and Gimme Shelter.
Wow i only knew 8 songs
Only 3 listenable songs in total.
Old but OK
Not my taste.
