Let’s break out the big songs. The epic ones that will live on forever (good or bad). The anthems, the songs that go down in history as “the song of your generation.”

The rules:

Something Old: Songs that are at least 5 years old. (I know that isn’t too long to be considered old, but music turnover happens quickly.)

Something Current: Songs that have been released within the past year.

Something to Consider: This is the wild card category. Feel free to list any song: old, current, guilty pleasure, underground, whatever.

Something Old

Artist Iron Maiden

Title Run To The Hills

Side Note Is there a more epic running track?

Quotable Run for your life

Something Current

Artist Florence + The Machine

Title Shake It Out

Side Note Released on 30th September 2011, this only just makes it into the ‘something new’ category but it has the makings of a classic

Quotable It’s hard to dance with the devil on your back

Something to Consider

Artist Prince

Title My Name Is Prince

Side Note Run Dance Run recently introduced me to this song and I can’t stop playing it or humming it to myself at work. We’ve even taken to texting the lyrics to each other at random times. It’s so funky, so arrogant, so … Prince

Quotable If you want to play with me, you better learn the rules
