25 Songs Everyone Had On Their First iPod

25 Songs Everyone Had On Their First iPod

It was on Oct. 23, 2001 that the original iPod first hit the shelves. The product not only revolutionized the music industry and the way we consume music, but also heralded in a new era of consumer electronics. While the idea of buttons, a scroll wheel and mp3 players in general seems a bit archaic in light of today's products, the excitement of receiving that first iPod -- and all the subsequent journeys it took with us during the years that followed -- is something most will never forget. In honor of the iPod's 13th birthday, and the classic's silent discontinuation in September, here are 25 songs that we all had on our original iPods, whether we want to admit it or not.

Creed - "With Arms Wide Open"

A*Teens - "Dancing Queen"
