10 One-Hit Wonder Bands That Are Way More Successful Than You Think
“Remember that one-hit wonder, Devo?” My friend had turned to me and asked that, and I remained incredulous at what I just heard. Devo, the classic 80s band, was one of my staples as a teenager. I loved their wacky pyramid hats, and also had a huge selection of their hits in my music library. For the life of me, I couldn’t understand how anyone would assume they were a one-hit wonder.

10 Songs That Celebrate Winter
Once upon a time, some people believed that winter was caused by the vegetation goddess Persephone, also known as Kore and Proserpina, returns to the Underworld, taking the ability to grow crops with her. Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind, was the source of all the cold winds. People later spoke of Old Man Winter and Jack Frost, the personifications of ice, snow, and the freezing cold of winter. (Remember the 1979 stop-motion animated TV Christmas special?)

Studying can be a lonely and tedious process. While review is not as stressful as actually taking the tests, it can be hard to sit down and make time to study. Though some people prefer peace and quiet to focus on their studies, others find that silence is unsettling or distracting. Whether out of anxiety or boredom, many people often find listening to music to accompany their schoolwork can make the experience far less stressful.

'The Greatest Showman' Songs: Worst to Best
Before we get into it I'm sure we all know this film is historically inaccurate and P.T. Barnum is far from the loveable music man that is Hugh Jackman. Also, this film is perfectly serviceable but it's the songs that stand out more than anything.

The People Responsible For Making Ambient Music Interesting Again
In 2010, I was at the height of my crippling gaming obsession. Every day was spent staring at an oversized TV through a greasy, straightened fringe, keeping myself hopped up on Rockstar Energy and Vitamin D supplements. It was an exciting time; wasting fools on Halo 3 and avoiding any conversation or social outing, thinking I was "alt" by throwing up a peace sign and not showering enough. I figured a personality wasn't necessary as long as you wore as much neon as you could and, instead of smiling, pull that sideways scrunched face people break out when they're insecure about their teeth. I wouldn't have talked to me, you wouldn't have talked to me, let's sit and pity me together.

Top 10 Best Taylor Swift Songs
This is it. This is the list you've been waiting for. Let me start by saying one thing: This list was very difficult to form. I have been listening to Taylor for a really, really long time so most of her songs spark certain memories and feelings from my life, as it does for all of her loyal listeners (which is one of the things that makes Taylor so special, right?). But trying to narrow down ALL of her amazing songs into a short list of 10?! It was hard. Maybe I should have done a Top 20. Or 30.

A Playlist for Those with a Unique Taste
I've recently discovered that I have a similar music preference as most, but for some reason I still have a knack for finding the buried, emotion striking tunes that are scattered across music platforms. I put together a playlist of my most recent discoveries. :) The Spotify link to the playlist can be found at the bottom of the article.

Ben’s 10 - Billy Joel
Billy Joel is my favourite artist and has been since I can remember. I have grown up with his music and seen the Piano man live multiple times, with each one being an unforgettable experience. Whilst most people are familiar with the big hits: "Piano Man," "Uptown Girl," "The Longest Time," etc. I think that many of Joel’s best songs are not necessarily those that you’ll find on his greatest hits album. Below are 10 songs that you may not know, but should definitely listen to if you’re a fan of Billy Joel.
