This is the June 2023 playlist for the girls.
The Songs
"For What It's Worth" - Buffalo Springfield (Buffalo Springfield, 1966)
A late-60s protest-tinged folk-rock staple with a clear, ringing guitar line.
"6 Underground (Nellee Hooper Edit)" - Sneaker Pimps (Becoming X, 1996)
A moody electronic track built around a slippery groove and hazy atmosphere.
"My Old School" - Steely Dan (A Decade of Steely Dan (Remastered), 1973)
A Steely Dan cut known for its sharp writing and tightly played rock arrangement.
"Naked Eye" - Luscious Jackson (Naked Eye, 1996)
Mid-90s alternative rock with a laid-back groove and a catchy, punchy chorus.
"Hook" - Blues Traveler (Four, 1994)
A harmonica-driven pop-rock hit that leans on big hooks and nimble rhythm changes.
"Judy Staring At the Sun (feat. Tanya Donelly)" - Catherine Wheel (Happy Days, 1995)
A swirling power-pop track that mixes shoegaze texture with a guest vocal from Tanya Donelly.
"Gotta Get Thru This (D'n'D Radio Edit)" - Daniel Bedingfield (Gotta Get Thru This, 2001)
A fast, dance-floor-ready early-2000s single centered on a restless beat.
"No Scrubs" - TLC (FanMail, 1999)
An end-of-the-decade R&B anthem with a bold bass line and a sharply pointed refrain.
"Break On Through (To the Other Side)" - The Doors (The Very Best of The Doors, 1967)
A raw garage-rock classic with a hard riff and a quick, urgent pace.
"I Feel for You" - Chaka Khan (I Feel for You, 1984)
An early-80s funk-pop track that blends jazz, soul, and a heavily sampled synth sound.
"Wild, Wild West" - The Escape Club (Wild, Wild West, 1988)
A glossy late-80s pop-rock song with a surreal, road-trip feel.
"Monkey Gone to Heaven" - Pixies (Doolittle, 1989)
A compact indie-rock song with jagged guitars, cryptic lyrics, and a dark sense of humor.
