We’ve gotten to the time when reboots/remakes are at large because nobody else has any more new ideas, and the same could be said for music. With some exceptions, everything worthwhile has already been written about in a song, so it’s good to look back and remember the music we listened to when we were younger, and hey if we still secretly jam out to Disney Channel songs in our twenties--well no one needs to know, do they? Here are songs to add to the throwback playlist you tell yourself that you don't have!
