Then And Now: Going In Different Directions

One Direction sang some incredible songs, and they've done a lot since the "break."

Credited as being one of the biggest boy bands in the world and owing their success to Simon Cowell and the British X Factor, One Direction made a huge impact on the world. And I don't just mean young girls and subsequently their families and friends, but really everyone they came in contact with. As a huge Directioner (yeah, I know) I was amazed by how quickly they grew in popularity across the world and all that they did, whether it was actually becoming such a worldwide phenomenon or their work with Comic Relief amongst several other charities.

While their appeal came from the fact that they were (originally) five attractive boys with accents, they also had quite a few hit songs. This includes not only the songs that were overplayed on all of the radio stations but also the bonus songs and little known jams as well. Since Zayn left in 2015 and the "indefinite hiatus" beginning in 2016, the boys have all gone their separate ways and embarked on different journeys. Some have tried acting, others have started families, but all five have stuck with their music and released songs on their own. Below, I've gone through all of the albums and singles from when they were together as well as now that they are apart and chosen some of my favorite songs!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
