From the multi-layered sounds of Malcolm McLaren to what many consider to be the very first rock & roll song ("Rocket 88"), we bring you a playlist of songs that were truly ahead of their time.
Some were groundbreaking songs that inspired a generation ("Here Comes the Judge" by Pigmeat Markham), while others (like Bruce Haack's "Electric To Me Turn" and Raymond Scott's "Cindy Electronium") were simply technological experiments with the latest mixing gadgetry. In any case, a lot of these songs sound like they could have been made today.

Often imitated--never duplicated (until now), here is the original version of our famous "Hipster Soul" playlist. First released back in 2012, this playlist has been fully restored to its original content. Now's your chance to once again hear what millions of other listeners first enjoyed.

Stand out tracks include "Red Right Hand" from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, "Hold On" from John Lennon and "Cedar Lane" from First Aid Kit.
There's something about the sound of the bongo. We think everything is better with bongos. More exotic, more wild, more fun. Here's a collection of great songs featuring bongos (and congas too). Now off to your nearest park and join in that drum circle!
Sometimes we like to sit around and pretend we are music supervisors picking the perfect song for that new television advert. Here's a collection of songs that we think would be great in tomorrow's commercials! Anyone hiring!?!

The late filmmaker John Hughes was known as the king of the teen angst films during the 1980s. His movie music was the soundtrack of a generation.
Here's a collection of songs that could be the soundtrack to a John Hughes film if it were made today. This list features great tracks from Foals, The Love Language, Ra Ra Riot and many others. The John Hughes Movie That Never Was...
