The soldier from another time, Steve Rogers, is known as Captain America from Marvel's Avengers. As we see in the MCU film Captain America: The Winter Soldier, he needed help with his playlist, so let's provide him a bunch of songs that he would love on his phone.
Old-timey Music
As he grew up in the early 20th Century, he would want some music to remind him of those times. He'd remember dancing "Moonlight Serenade" and swinging and jiving to "In The Mood" by Glenn Miller. Perhaps, he would remember singing Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon" and "Come Fly With Me" to his love Peggy Carter.
His Conflict of Living In A Different Era
Captain America struggles with living in a different era and moving past the world that he left behind. In the 1940s, there was a strong sense of justice and what's right and wrong. However, in modern times, the decisions from S.H.I.E.L.D and the government tinge in grey. His faith in everything he stood for is shaken, so he'd relate to Keane's "Is It Any Wonder?" One lyric in the song is perfect for Captain America: "It's hard to know where I stand. It's hard to know where I am. Well, maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand."
As we see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he's weary to'move on from Peggy, who he left back in the 1940s, and like an old-fashioned soldier, he will stick by his partner through thick and thin. He would listen to "Thinking out Loud" by Ed Sheeran, reminiscing about his time with Peggy and maybe, have a little cry to himself, hoping he'd kiss her "under the light of a thousand stars" one more time. He'd also listen to "Let Her Go" by Passenger in an attempt to let her go from his life and find someone new.
We added "Angels" by Robbie Williams as he deals with his own mortality and existence within the world. He is also pretty religious. He feels incredibly lonely and would be "loving angels instead." Despite his issues, he won't let life break him and he'll keep moving forward.
The List
During Captain America: The Winter Soldier, his friend Sam Wilson (The Falcon) provides Steve a list of pop culture to get up to speed with the world around him. Included on that list (thanks MCU Fandom), is Nirvana, the film Rocky, and the soundtrack to Troubleman. We included "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2, "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor, and "Lithium" by Nirvana as he'd trust Wilson with his life, let alone his playlist!
Modern Swing
In an attempt to reclaim a pastime he loved in the 40s, he'd probably attend a few swing sessions. While there, he may grow accustomed to the modern era of swing, electro swing. It has a lot of cool beats in the background that still has an infectious nature on the dance floor. "Light Up The Night" by Jamie Berry, Robert Edwards, Andrew Griffith, and Octavia Rose, and "Cheek To Cheek - Swing Hop Remix" by Odd Chap and Marty & his Rockin' Comets are both exciting songs with some tasty jazz riffs and a rumbunctious melody.
