Valentine's Day 2021 Family Playlists

  Happy Valentine's Day Claire Bear. This year I thought I'd do something different and build you a playlist of songs I think you might love . Your playlist has bit of a rockier edge to that I hope you enjoy. Let's dive in! You're No Rock n' Roll Fun, Sleater-Kinney First up, Sleater-Kinney, a post-punk band from Olympia, Washington. These three ladies can rock. They've produced a ton of music with a range from straight up rock, to punk, to really heavy stuff. This song is more on the pop-rock spectrum, and it was an effort by the band to build some commercial popularity. While they've got a very devoted following, they've never been huge. The effort didn't really pan out, and some fans were critical. I think this song, and the entire album All Hands On The Bad One , are both entirely excellent, as is this band. Two guitars and drums, no bass, all excellent musicians and a really wild, exuberant vocal style. There's nothing else quite like Sleate...

Happy Valentine's Day Paige! This year I thought I'd try something different by creating a p laylist of songs that I thought you might like - or even love . There's a bit of range in here, so let's start listening! Dog Days Are Over, Florence + The Machine Let's get started with something a bit bold with some positive energy that I hope you'll like. Florence + The Machine make big, sweeping, emotional anthem indie rock music. "Dog Days Are Over" is off their debut album in 2009. Florence + The Machine are known for putting on spectacular live shows.  Following the performance of "Dog Days Are Over" on the  2010 MTV Video Music Awards , the track sold 96,000 digital downloads which signified a 257% increase over the previous week and leaped to number 21 giving Florence her first top 30 hit on the  Billboard  Hot 100 . So much energy in this song - and I love the little false ending that unleashes the big, triumphant conclusion. Care, beabadoob...

Happy Valentine's Day Carol! I thought I'd try something different this year and make you a playlist of songs  some of which I know you love, and some that I love, that maybe you'll love too. So, let's get started! Little Red Corvette I figure why not get things started off with a bang. So many great Prince songs to choose from - it's hard to know what to pick. But, I love this song and I know you love it too. It was a smash. R eleased in 1983 as the second single from  1999 , the song was at that point Prince's highest charting and his first to reach the top 10 in the U.S., peaking at number 6 on the  Billboard  Hot 100 . It was also his first single to perform better on the pop chart than the  R&B   chart. He'd go on to have a bunch of #1 hits, but in some ways this is the song that got it all going. Dog Days Are Over, Florence + The Machine OK. This is a swing in the other direction, but I think you'll like it. Florence + The...
