30 Songs Those Born In The Wrong Generation Will Love

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong generation, mainly because I have a strong appreciation for the timeless music of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. I think my love for old music first started when I was a young girl and my dad would play all of his favorite songs for me. He’d hold me on his hip and we’d dance around the house, spinning and twirling around to songs I would later rediscover and grow to love. From the start, I would find myself drawn to my grandpa's eclectic record collection; captivated by the vibrant album covers. He had everything from The Rolling Stones to the soundtrack from Grease. Perhaps I am so drawn to old music because it reflects specific moments in history that have been preserved through art. And as time passes, its beauty remains.

In effort to share my love for old music, I have created a playlist of my favorite songs from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s that never fails to disappoint.

1. "Love the One You're With" - Crosby, Stills & Nash

2. "Pictures of You" - The Cure

3. "Babylon" - David Gray


4. "Rosalita" - Bruce Springsteen

5. "Baba O'Riley" - The Who

6. "Let My Love Open The Door" - Pete Townshend


7. "Fortunate Son" - Creedence Clearwater Revival

8. "Roxanne" - The Police

9. "With Or Without You" - U2

10. "Peace Frog" - The Doors

11. "For What It's Worth" - Buffalo Springfield

12. "Our House" - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

13. "Silver Springs" - Fleetwood Mac

14. "Take It Easy" - Eagles

15. "Listen To The Music" - The Doobie Brothers

16. "Video Killed The Radio Star" - The Buggles


17. "Every Breath You Take" - The Police

18. "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" - The Beatles

* But I could have probably put every Beatles song on this playlist.

19. "You're So Vain" - Carly Simon


20. "Woodstock" - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

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

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.

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.
