10 Classic Rock Songs That are Better than Today's Popular Music

Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of some of the new music. I quite liked the Jonas Brothers' new song "Sucker" even though I was not a Jo Bros fan back in their Disney days. However, there is just nothing like the classic rock songs of the past. The awesome electric guitar solos are unrivaled, and it just doesn't seems like today's lyricists can even come close to "For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder," or "Once I rose above the noise and confusion just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion." Here are ten classic rock songs that will always be better than today's music.

1. "Long Cool Woman" by The Hollies

2. "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas

3. "Take it Easy" by The Eagles

4. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles

5. "Can't You See" by the Marshall Tucker Band

6. "American Woman" by The Guess Who

7. Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns and Roses

8. "Fortunate Son' by Creedence Clearwater Revival

9. "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

10. “For What it's Worth” by Buffalo Springfield

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
