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 just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has.
