Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac.
Being the worlds biggest Stevie Nicks fan, there may be some bias in this statement but, 'Silver Springs' off of Fleetwood Macs "Rumors" 1977 album is one of the most overlooked, powerful, and soul shaking heartbreak songs of the century.

Ode to Viceroy by Mac DeMarco.
My attraction to Mac's music stems from his originality and unique style. Throughout every album there's diversity as he creates basically his own genre of music, merging surf rock with guitar infused blues. Ode to Viceroy is such a beautiful and strong piece of music and accurately shows DeMarco's talents as a musician.

Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks.
This song brings out so many emotions, its almost poetic. The nostalgic light flow can be enjoyed in every way. Lead Vocalist Ray Davies described this piece "like an extract from a diary nobody was allowed to read". A perfect song to end a summer night, beautiful and melancholy all at once.

One of These Nights by Eagles.
This song of lusty ambiance includes rich instrumental tunes from Don Henley and is a laid back uplifting song of little depth. Wether you're in the car, on the beach, or with your friends, this songs tune brings classic rock fans like myself together.

Friend of the Devil by Grateful Dead.
While the entire 'American Beauty' album was life changing, this song was the one that has stayed with me years after hearing it for the first time. This country piece is easy to listen to and is upbeat compared to a majority of the Dead's slower and more instrumental pieces.

It Ain't Me Babe by Joan Baez.
Although this calming folk song was originally sang by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez gives a whole new perspective coming from a woman. I have always loved this song when I heard it on Dylan's track, but the unpopular truth is expressed through Baez's version- that a woman could actually not need a man. For the 60's, this was a landmark in female empowerment and we stan.

Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.
Everyone with a good taste in music loves this song, being that the lyrics are so poetic that they can be interpreted differently to each person. For me, this song will always be one of my favorite songs of all time. The story Stevie Nicks tells of the path of life and growth, and feeling stuck or pummeled by an expectation from yourself of the person you have to be and holding onto the things in the past that made you happy. This song of growth and struggle is so powerful and makes you feel not alone with these unexplainable feelings of getting older.
