Fuse's 20 Essential College Albums
College: It's awesome. No mom and dad, or brother or sister, and you can basically do whatever you want—like pay thousands of dollars a year for the privilege of skipping class! Still, one of the best part of this whole college thing is meeting new people and discovering the fruits of the World at Large, like new music.
There are classic (read: cliche) "college" albums, like, say, the Beatles' Revolver or Bob Marley Legend or anything Dave Matthews or O.A.R. But we're all tired of hearing those anyway, so the Fuse news writers put together lists of the albums that were formative during our college years. The soothing music after a crushing breakup? It's here. The house party-rockin' jams? Duh. The introspective stuff to get you laid by that intellectual hottie in Psych 103? Def. Check it out below, complete with TMI explanations from some of us here at Fuse. And for an unbeatable soundtrack to your reading experience, listen to Fuse's Favorite College Albums Spotify Playlist.
