This is the July 2025 playlist for the girls.
The Songs
"Night Train (Single Version)" - James Brown (20 All-Time Greatest Hits!, 1991)
A hard-driving soul groove with Brown’s tight band and rhythmic momentum front and center.
"Mother Mother" - Tracy Bonham (The Burdens of Being Upright, 1996)
A sharp grunge-era anthem built around a noisy guitar burst and a frustrated chorus.
"Silent Lucidity" - Queensrÿche (Queensrÿche: Greatest Hits, 2000)
A power ballad with a dramatic acoustic opening and a big, polished chorus.
"If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" - Sting (Ten Summoner's Tales (Expanded Edition), 1993)
A polished early-’90s pop-rock single with a steady bass line and clean production.
"Tomorrow (Remastered)" - Silverchair (Frogstomp (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition), 1995)
A bruising alternative-rock cut that pairs heavy guitars with an urgent, anthemic feel.
"Inside Out" - Eve 6 (Eve 6, 1998)
A catchy late-’90s alt-rock song with a bright hook and a jittery, upbeat pulse.
"Different Drum" - The Stone Poneys (Evergreen, Vol. 2, 1967)
A classic folk-rock staple with a breezy melody and a strong Laurel Canyon-era feel.
"Sometimes When We Touch" - Dan Hill (Longer Fuse, 1977)
A lush pop ballad known for its romantic lyric and soft, soaring arrangement.
"Baby, Baby" - Amy Grant (Heart in Motion, 1991)
A glossy crossover pop hit that helped define Amy Grant’s mainstream breakthrough.
"Liar" - Rollins Band (Weight, 1994)
A raw, confrontational hard-rock track with spoken-word intensity and a long, crushing build.
"Ponce De Leon" - Splitsville (Let's Go! the Best of Splitsville, 2007)
A brief, tuneful pop number with a power-pop bounce and a light, clipped arrangement.
"Take the Skinheads Bowling" - Camper Van Beethoven (Telephone Free Landslide Victory, 1985)
An off-kilter college-rock favorite with a sing-song chorus and deadpan absurdity.
