What Songs Could Go on a Cross-Generational Playlist?
Today’s high schoolers and their grownup counterparts reminisce with lyrics and try to sing favorite songs. What music do teens and parents have in common? Lady Gaga? Boyz II Men? “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”?
What songs could go on a cross-generational playlist?

That's a good choice! I looked it up on YT and the video has over 62 million views!!

Whoops! I accidentally posted this message twice.
I agree, it's a fantastic sing-along-song for all ages. Neil Diamond's songs are timeless classics for everyone to enjoy.
There's a Neil Diamond musical biography under development for Broadway.

I went back to college and finished my degree in my late 40's during the 2000's. The students back then were quite taken with Miles Davis, Carlos Santana, et al. However, one young man insisted that The Beatles were a back-up band for Paul McCartney and Wings. To say I was annoyed is gross understatement.

when I was 13 I discovered The Beatles and always had my transistor radio on. When my oldest daughter turned 13 she started with all the 90s groups...in high school her Art teacher introduced her to The Beatles and she listened to their music...My youngest daughter listened to the rap music of the early 2000s groups...I happened to be listening to The Beatles at home and she asked who I was listening too and replied The Beatles...She became a fan of the early Beatle love songs..My daughters enjoy country music, R and B Oldies, also late 60s and 70s artists plus their own generations music.

“Heart and Soul” by Hoagie Carmichael. The melody is now used by Train for “Play That Song”
“ Heart and Soul” is also the name of a charming movie staring Robert Downy Jr.
It was the first song a piano teacher taught my father when he decided to learn to play the piano when I was a teen.

My 41 year old likes Billy Joel, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Tupac and I could go on. His 4 year old is learning to also love those songs because his father does and they sing them together.
My youngest likes Jack Johnson, as well as many songs from the above. They both like
Fleetwood Mac!
The songs they strongly dislike are any songs that I played over and over and over again in the car, by Phil Collins, THE BREAKFAST CLUB sound track, Van Halen and Barbra Streisand.
