I found myself listening to a My Little Pony Pandora station a few weeks ago which was really a collection of children’s music from popular franchises, but I quickly realized that the music on the station followed the same themes of encouragement, reassurance, and joy that religious music does. While riding in someone else's car I heard one such religious music station challenge its listeners to listen only to religious music for a week to see how it improved their moods.

I’ve never been fond of religious people claiming that only their thing can make people happy, but an idea and question occurred to me. We know that constantly listening to one type or genre of music has a high likelihood of effecting a person’s daily mood, but what does a person’s daily mood become if the music being enjoyed is all pony?

So my challenge to you is to do what I am doing and put together a playlist of pony music, official and fan made, and whenever you have a choice to listen to music, only listen to Pony Music for the last whole week of July (21-28), then share the story of how it effected you.

I can tell you a few things up front: my collection of pony music doesn’t include dance remixes as that style of music sets me on edge, but if that is your thing, I’d like to read how it effects you. Also there are a billion and two sad songs centered around Luna/Nightmare Moon. My playlist will be geared toward an uplifting theme so I'm probably going to exclude quite a bit from my list, but if someone wants to listen to only sad pony music or even playlists that have no unifying theme beyond the fact that they are pony, I would love to read about whatever theme you choose and how it effects you.

If you feel so inclined, please post your pony music playlist as a reply as it will help me to expand upon the set that I’ll be using. Also, if you share this challenge/experiment with other groups, and I hope you do, please link to them so that I may read their experiences as well.

In my case I did not personally have access the technology to listen to music wherever I might happen to be until I was in the fandom, and since then, pony music (including music that, although not pony, was first heard by me in PMVs and have come to associate privately with MLP) have been my primary ~genre of interest. A few months ago I downloaded that 100G Pony Music Archive that EQD mentioned, and have been slowly finding the time to go through it one album at a time. I've been looking for pony music that I can emotionally attach to for years but I can't well say what effects the music itself has had on me beyond wanting to find more and how some of them help me remember to Do Better, so really the main reason I'm answering at all is because of the request for suggestions to add to the list (and I apologise for taking up so much space with it)

I am on a stint right now where I'm reading Nietzsche and listening to blues music. I feel sadder than usual, I think.

I may participate in this, but I have trouble sticking to commitments like this. No doubt, I'll be scanning this thread for good music tho

FYI, YouTube Music can create playlists of pony fandom music given a single song.

I can't really do this experiment because I mostly listen to pony music anyway.

That's a great list! Let's see if I can pull up a few you might not have heard.

That's a really cool ability I didn't know about.

a few you might not have heard

I've only heard Lend a Hoof and Numb Pony I Want To Be out of those, thanks for the suggestions!

I found myself listening to a My Little Pony Pandora station a few weeks ago which was really a collection of children’s music from popular franchises, but I quickly realized that the music on the station followed the same themes of encouragement, reassurance, and joy that religious music does.

The funny thing is this happened to me a couple of years ago, when I decided to play Forest Rain's "Something Special" album on a family road trip. My mom noted that it was all very similar to the Christian music my dad listened to when he was my age.
