Put down Hamilton, push pause on Dear Evan Hanson, and turn off High School Musical 1, 2 and 3. We all know the classic soundtrack that blows up, catching us by surprise with its clever lyrics and catchy beats. But what about the other guys? The forgotten soundtracks that don't first pop into someone's mind to listen to? Sure, most of them had their hey-day, but whatever happened to those tracks? That forgotten, under-appreciated genius. Well, its spring cleaning and we found these under your bed, hiding in the dust bunnies, here they are...

Welcome to the 7 Most Genius, Under-Appreciated Soundtracks You Forgot.


1. Into The Woods

For this soundtrack, I tend to favor the movie version because James Corden, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, Anna Kendrick, and Emily Blunt tickle my fancy. But honestly the prologue song is so compelling, how could you not love it? Not to mention the comic relief.

2. The Last Five Years

Jeremy Jordan gets me every time. Although this storyline could be seen as a bit sad and depressing, the lyrics and the rhythm are nothing short of catchy, melodic genius.

3. Mamma Mia

Mamma Mia is so easily forgotten but with a soundtrack so lively and fun it makes you wonder how you even dare listen to anything else.

4. Tuck Everlasting

I don't understand how this show never made it long on Broadway because I think it is honestly one of the most heartwarming and amazing soundtracks I have ever heard. A classic take on a great book. Phenomenal. 10/10.

5. In The Heights

This show was popular, but with the rise of Hamilton and Dear Evan Hanson, this show has kinda hit the back burner. That is not to say that this soundtrack is anything less than hot though!

6. The Hunchback of Notre Dame

I always forget this soundtrack exists, which actually is a great thing because its almost like I get to rediscover its beauty all over again.

7. Dogfight

Derek Klena as a marine. Silky tenor and a beautiful face. What more can I say?

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
