A treasure chest of Billy Joel, The Beatles, Peter Gabriel and classic singer-songwriters. The music from your parents' car, somehow even better now.
My Playlist #50 might have a default name, but it’s a 100-song treasure chest of classic singer-songwriters, soft rock and timeless pop. Billy Joel leads with five songs, while The Beatles, R.E.M. and Elton John bring four each, and Hall & Oates, Genesis and Peter Gabriel each appear three times.
It opens with Hall & Oates’ “You Make My Dreams (Come True)” and flows through Indigo Girls’ “Closer to Fine,” The Beatles’ “Yesterday,” Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes,” James Taylor’s “Sweet Baby James,” Cat Stevens’ “Wild World,” Tom Petty’s “You Don’t Know How It Feels” and Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World.” It’s warm, melodic and familiar: the kind of music that played in your parents’ car and somehow got better with age. Perfect for a Sunday drive, a family dinner, a long work session or a singalong with anyone over 35. Every song is a well-written classic, and the sequencing makes it easy to leave on for hours without ever reaching for the skip button.
