We all have that playlist, the list of songs that never go out of style or that record/tape/cd that gets played whenever we're feeling nostalgic.

Like a good friendship, you know a beloved song in and out, beginning to end, and even when a beat is skipped or an abundance of noise is polluting the lyrics, you can always pick up where it left off.

Here are a few that were once downloaded via 56k, purchased on cassette single, and even ripped at poor quality from a Myspace player because I was so desperate to have it at that time.


I listen to this one quite a bit. It never fails to be put on repeat during times those nights when I have a lot on my mind.


An amazing oldie that will always be a cruising favorite.


Hands down my favorite song to hear and sing my heart out to, after a few drinks.


I can't think of one particular night that made this song a regular, but it's been one of my favorites to hear right after Santeria.


Like the first verse, I used to listen to this song while driving around for hours.


This one will get put on repeat for lazy Sundays or as I'm about to fall asleep at night.
