Today's #CrucialTracks #MyGoldenOldie - the oldest song I know and like.

The "that I like" caveat makes this a bit easier - although I do like some classical, I wouldn't usually pick it when I'm on the train or reading a book. I've gone a little 1929 bop called Rhapsody in Blue. It evokes a busy cityscape, great reading music. Also, the clarinet solo at the start is insane.
