Harry Chapin was especially gifted in creating rich stories through his songs. Sadly lost too soon, his unique tales still hold up.

Every decade has a "feel." While it wasn't easy to distill fifty years into a handful of songs, these capture a certain zeitgeist.

“Dear Boy" and “I'm Carrying” show McCartney never lost his flair.

Songs from 1980s such as “Tarzan Boy," "I Wanna Be a Lifeguard," "Pac-Man Fever," and "Lunatic Fringe" are still so totally rad.

From his first album to his last, Tom Petty had a gut-level feel for the human condition that most songwriters would envy.
