Some might call them the middle child of music...

7 Most Genius, Under-Appreciated Musical Soundtracks You Forgot
Gretchen Seelenbinder

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?

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
