Freshman John Gisselquist shares classic tunes for good times
March 12, 2015
1. Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody
“This incorporates like 5 or so different styles of music in one song. And it’s still amazing. Plus it’s Queen, so boom. Already amazing.”
2. Coldplay – Viva la Vida
“It [the song] incorporates a lot of different classical instruments into a pop song. You can still differentiate the two styles.”
3. Cee Lo Green – Forget You
“Because Cee Lo Green. You can finally find a sassy song sung by a guy, which never happens.”
4. Zach Sobiech – Clouds
“It’s really easy to play on guitar, and it has a really nice backstory. The guy got cancer and wrote a bunch of music. Then he got famous and died.”
5. Christina Perri – A Thousand Years
“Not because it’s in Twilight. But because it’s a really powerful song, music-wise.”
6. Eagles – Hotel California
“It’s a really catchy song”
7. Fun. – Some Nights
“It starts out a capella and it’s really cool.”
8. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Same Love
“Because it has a really good message. Also it hasn’t been on the radio for a while so I can listen to it more.”
