My Top 5 Classic Rock Bands

My favorite rock bands

For more than half of my life my favorite genre of music has been classic rock. Every time I listen to classic rock I listen to mostly my top 5 bands. My top 5 classic rock bands are as follows:

5. The Zombies

The Zombies’ style and rhythm is very unique. Ever since American Idol season 6, in 2007, I have been really in love with the song “She’s not there.” In the beginning of the song with the piano verse and the soft lyrics, quite possibly one of the best love songs I’ve ever heard in my opinion. Even though they are number 5 they are certainly not my least favorite.

4. The Kinks

“Girl you really got me now you got me so I don’t what I’m doing.” One of the most famous lines in English rock later covered by other bands. The Kinks definitely had some iconic songs like “You really got me” and “Lola.” I love this band based mainly for their song lyrics and the way they perform. The Kinks, when I listen to them and their smooth guitar riffs they literally sound like one of a kind and their music is truly amazing.

3. Pink Floyd

When some people think of classic rock one of the bands they think of is Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd is definitely one of my favorite bands of all time with their incredible style and charisma. Their albums “The Wall” and “Dark side of the Moon” are two of their best albums they have had. When I’m in the car driving to and from my internship Another Brick in the Wall is always on my playlist of songs to listen to. The solo at the end of the song is truly one of the smoothest solos ever.

2. The Rolling Stones

We have reached the top two bands and most definitely the two most influential bands of the classic rock era. Number two on my list are The Rolling Stones. Satisfaction is one of the most played classic rock songs in history. The millions of records these guys sold and still performing is ridiculous. “Start Me Up” and “Sympathy for the Devil” are just two of the incredible songs these guys have produced.

And my number 1 band without a doubt is:

1. The Beatles

In the history of Rock there has never been a more inspirational and iconic band then The Beatles. The impact that this band had on the world is still to this day amazing. The hundreds of songs they made is still to this day played by millions of people including myself. The Beatles is number 1 for me because of the way they could take such simple phrases and turn them into something quite magical. For instance, the song “Hello Goodbye” two words we say on a daily basis, The Beatles turned these two words into one of their incredible songs with is truly magical. In my opinion, there will never be another band with the same talent and the same level of presence then The Beatles. The Beatles are not just once in a lifetime they are once ever.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
