For The Family
Introduction I thought it might be fun to create a playlist of family-related songs, possibly veering towards progressive, and artists who are my favourites. So it may be the song title or the artist's name, obviously Family have to be in there, though they have an entry of their own in my Beat stories here:

10 Nineties Emo Albums You Should Hear
I'll admit it: I've been a bad emo kid. Like a lot of millennials, I sincerely thought that emo started in the 2000s, when bands like Taking Back Sunday and Aiden appeared on the scene. However, when I did some research, I learned that emo's roots go all the way back to the mid-eighties.

Real McCoy and the Secret Behind âAnother Nightâ
In the mid-1990s, Eurodance was at its peak, and one of the defining acts of the genre was Real McCoy. Their pulsating beats, catchy hooks, and late-night club appeal brought them international stardom. At the center of their success was their most recognizable song, âAnother Nightâ, which climbed charts worldwide and became a cultural touchstone of the decade. Yet behind the trackâs glossy music video and radio-friendly polish was a surprising truth: the voice that millions sang along to wasnât the one audiences were led to believe.

Summer Without a Soundtrack: Why 2025 Feels Like âBrain Rot Seasonâ
Every summer has a mood. In some years, itâs defined by a blockbuster movie, a chart-topping anthem, or even a cultural trend that captures the collective imagination. Think of the era of âHot Girl Summer,â or the way Barbie and Oppenheimer collided to create the âBarbenheimerâ trend in 2023. These moments werenât just fun; they were shared cultural connections that gave summer its flavor.

Progressively Covered
Introduction I wanted to do a playlist of progressive music that was maybe a littel different, and then remembered that Yes had covered Simon and Garfunkel's "America", and thought what about some unexpected covers of songs by artists that could be classed in the Progressive Universe, and four immediately came to mind.

Introduction I haven't done much in BEAT for a bit, and despite being a Top Creator in the community, I have not had a Top Story for years, despite getting a lot of reads outside of Vocal, but they don't seem to like my taste in music any more, I am obviously too good for them đ¤Ą.
