Recently, the great known Prince passed away in a tragic and unexpected death. He was the pinnacle of music from the 70s until the day he passed. I never really was a fan until I heard one of his songs that changed my life. I will always be grateful for Prince Rogers Nelson. Here are a few of his greatest hits. If you click on the pictures, it will take you to a youtube video of the song!

10. Gett Off (1991)

To start off the list, this song is not like normal Prince because it has more of a hip-hop feel, but it is still one of my favorites.

9. Thieves in the Temple (1990)

This song makes me feel like I am listening to a story. I visualize the lyrics and that rarely happens nowadays. There is also a wicked harmonica solo near the middle.

8. Little Red Corvette (1982)

This song has some vibes attached to it and I guarantee the melody will be stuck in your head. It is super catchy.

7. Sign O The Times (1987)

This song is very mellow and that is what I love about it. If I were to listen to one Prince song before going to sleep it would be this one.

6. Let's Go Crazy (1984)

This song makes me want to dance. I love the way that the guitar and beat just make me want to move around and, as the song says, go crazy.

5. When Doves Cry (1984)

This song is incredible for a few reasons. It comes off as a dancy song, but the harmony Prince makes using different versions of his own voice gives it a cool and relaxing feeling.

4. Nothing Compares 2 U (1990)

This is a beautiful song because of its intense vocals as well as emotional saxophone solos mixed in. Prince definitely put his entire heart into this one.

3. The Most Beautiful Girl in the World (1995)

I know that no matter how bitter and mean you might be, this song will make you smile. It is a slower song, but it has a beat that will keep you singing all night long.

2. Kiss (1986)

You have probably sung this song at one point or another. It is close to my favorite, but I must be cliche when it comes to picking a favorite Prince song.

1. Purple Rain (1984)

This song without a doubt is my favorite Prince song of all time. The way he sings and shreds on his guitar make this a CLASSIC. I can listen to this song at any time anywhere and instantly catch the feelings that Prince lets us feel through his music.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
