What the College Kids are Listening To

I recently went to an O.A.R. concert. The only song I knew was Shattered, but I downloaded a bunch of their stuff as soon as I got home. They started out as a college band back around my hey day and now, have a cult following. No doubt I would’ve jumped on that bandwagon had I been exposed 20 years ago.

There’s something about music and college that just works. Knowing there is some great music out there only the cool kids are hearing, I asked some college students what they are listening to. Maybe it will make you feel young to update your playlist or add some new channels to your Pandora favorites.
