6 Classic Rock Songs For Millennials
Keith Nelson

Although music has changed in styles and variations over the years, there is one thing that has remained the same, it's message. It can express the deepest of emotions like love or telling a story. My taste in music spreads between a wide variety of genres. With classic rock being on the top of my playlist lately, I present to the millennials some of the best songs your parents use to turn the stereo up to.

1. "More Than a Feeling"- Boston

A romantic lover that has more than a feeling about the girl he loves. You can almost hear him as he slips away with her in the music.

2. "Rumors"- Fleetwood Mac

Okay, so this is actually an entire album, but every song is worth a listen. A product of emotional turmoil these classic lyrics speak of heartbreak and betrayal through a uniquely individual sound.

3. "Fortunate Son"- Creedence Clearwater Revival

For those free spirits rebelling against "the system" this song is full of protest against the government and the rules of law.

4. "Bohemian Rhapsody"- Queen

An internal struggle of someone’s mind gone mad with despair, this song will take you through the vast emotional galaxy of the human mind.

5. "Hotel California"- Eagles

Speaking of the vices of human kind, Eagles take on a culture of excess in California and America.

6. "Dream On"- Aerosmith

Live for today and dream on for tomorrow, this song makes you question just what it is like to get old and how one becomes old. Perfect, for millennials as we search for our path in life and "dream on" for the best in tomorrow.

So take a moment, open your playlist, and discover the music that is still speaking volumes today.

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.
