Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of some of the new music. I quite liked the Jonas Brothers' new song "Sucker" even though I was not a Jo Bros fan back in their Disney days. However, there is just nothing like the classic rock songs of the past. The awesome electric guitar solos are unrivaled, and it just doesn't seems like today's lyricists can even come close to "For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder," or "Once I rose above the noise and confusion just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion." Here are ten classic rock songs that will always be better than today's music.

1. "Long Cool Woman" by The Hollies

2. "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas

3. "Take it Easy" by The Eagles

4. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles

5. "Can't You See" by the Marshall Tucker Band

6. "American Woman" by The Guess Who

7. Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns and Roses

8. "Fortunate Son' by Creedence Clearwater Revival

9. "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

10. “For What it's Worth” by Buffalo Springfield

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.
