Throwback Alert: The Classic Music Every College Girl Should Know

The legendary Bob Dylan turned 70 today and I’ve been blasting his jams since I rolled out of bed this morning (feeling a bit like a 70-year-old rocker myself). All that classic rock put me in a fantastic mood, and it also reminded me of all the other awesome classic tracks buried deep in my iTunes.

It’s easy to forget about the oldies when we constantly have new music and to peruse and purchase. But the classics are classics for a reason, and we can’t forget about ‘em. So in honor of Dylan, I decided to compile a list of classic musicians and groups that every college girl must have on her iPod. Of course, this stroll down memory lane is going to a bit deeper than the Beatles, which I’m sure you already know and love.

Let’s Rock and Roll!

    Great list. I love that Hurricane is on the list of Bob Dylan songs to download; it's one of my favourites.

    I probably would have added Janis Joplin, The Beatles and The Clash to that list. Otherwise total awesomeness though!

    Sorry but where were the Beatles? They are one of the most influential bands of all time.

    this is such a poser list, there are so few college girls who can actually say they like a lot of that music. listening to led zeppelin and pink floyd makes me want to jump off a building, and bob dylan is really just depressing. i guess it's good to be aware of classic music, but i hope no one plans to claim they like it, or know anything about it, just because they read this post.
