Essential Songs

[Aglaopheme]

I’m making a playlist for my oldest who is off to college soon. What are your most essential songs from any genre?

Definitely not one I would have added or have on playlists I tend to play a lot at home. It’s a classic. I enjoyed the video even though it looked like they were stopping themselves from singing the lyrics at several points.

Kids aren't pros...






... well, on second thought, some of them are... hmmm...

Do kids not find "old" music on their own anymore? By the time I was a teenager, I was generally aware of Elvis, Sam Cooke, Hank Williams etc, and I didn't have YouTube as a resource. These viral videos of young folks "discovering" the existence of songs that were on the radio during the Clinton presidency are amusing.

Anyway, let me throw out the collected works of Ray Charles from his time at Atlantic Records. It's the foundation of soul.

I definitely need to add some good old blues songs. My knowledge of country is seriously lacking, but I am making my way through the songs you posted.

Thanks!

They definitely do, and are exposed to a ton of it through me and my siblings, but I really enjoy making playlists for them. I love them randomly singing some obscure punk song during dinner.

Yes to some Ray Charles and more soul music. Not sure I would have gone there on my own.

My wife makes playlists out the wazoo. Music plays just about all day long at this household.
