10 Classic Rock Songs Everyone Should Hear

Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

I, like many of my friends, am a classic rock junkie. I commonly get called a "hipster," "dead head" or "hippie," but I don't care! I love my music, and hopefully after these 10 songs, you will too! So get your tie-dye ready, here we go!

1. The Rolling Stones -- "Wild Horses"

Wedding song, anyone? This song puts John Legend's "All Of Me" to shame!

2. Led Zeppelin -- "Ramble On"

This song is a favorite of mine when riding around in my brother's convertible. Perfect jam music!

3. Blue Oyster Cult -- "Don't Fear The Reaper"

Originally from Utica, New York, Blue Oyster Cult is a great rock band with several hits including "Don't Fear the Reaper," "Godzilla" and "Burnin' For You"

4. Pink Floyd -- "Wish You Were Here"

Pink Floyd is a classic band, and I'm sure most everyone has heard of them. "Wish You Were Here" is off of the ever popular "Dark Side of The Moon" album. Give it a listen!

5. Creedence Clearwater Revival -- "Have You Ever Seen The Rain"

Creedence Clearwater Revival, known as CCR by most '60s rock fans, is a Woodstock band headed by two brother, John and Tom Fogerty.

6. The Rolling Stones -- "Sympathy For The Devil"

Another jam tune here!

7. The Doors -- "Roadhouse Blues"

Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, was the ultimate bad-boy showman. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential people in rock history, and he had great hair, too.

8. The Kinks -- "Waterloo Sunset"

"Waterloo Sunset" is iconic to those immersed in classic rock culture. Give it a listen!

9. The Beach Boys -- "Wouldn't It Be Nice"

The Beach Boys are the original surf band. It's perfect summer day music!

10. The Beatles -- "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

The first song on this album, "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is extremely catchy! The whole album is definitely worth a listen. Linked here is side A of the vinyl, which I own and love!

I hope you enjoyed my list of 10 classic rocks songs!

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.

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.
