Classic rock music has remained prominent in the music world despite the constant transition from one genre to another throughout the decades. Whether you heard it first from your parents, discovered it on your own, or maybe have never listened to it at all, classic rock has the powerful ability to put a smile on anyone's face, and these five songs will show you just that.

1. "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John

It's impossible to listen to the opening piano of this iconic song and not feel a smile start to form on your face. Listen to this song by the musical genius that is Sir Elton John and you won't regret it.

2. "Take It Easy" by the Eagles

This carefree, laid-back song makes you want to get in your car and cruise with the windows down. You can't go wrong listening to any song by the kings of the 1970s Southern California sound.

3. "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison

Listen to this and try to name a more nostalgia-packed, feel-good song. I'll wait.

4. "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Home to arguably one of greatest guitar solos in classic rock, this song will make you want to drive faster, laugh louder, and conquer your day.

5. "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Released during the peak of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, this song quickly became an anti-war anthem. Along with its legacy, this song has the power to pump you up with its energetic guitar riffs and the defining sound of John Fogerty, the iconic lead singer.

Even though decades have passed, this music still lives on today in the lives of every generation. These five songs are no exception and will definitely shift your music taste to include the powerhouse genre that is classic rock.

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.

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.
