The Rulers Of Rock..

Now rock’s a category which I suppos needs no explanation.

The topic screams Twenty Best Rock Songs.

Well as I donna follow the crowd I guess ill pen down Ten of My Favorites .

without further ado lets get down to my version of 10 Rock Anthems

We Will Rock You~ Queens, Five

This song needs no introduction does it .

You maybe a loser, you may have no clothes, your wife may wallop you everyday but you just can’t say ’What did you say We Will Rock You! I’ve never heard of this one!

Last heard that even Gandhiji foot tapped to this one!(ok im bluffing.)

This anthem has been famously sung by two groups Queens and Fivebut I prefer the Queen’s one for obvious reasons.

This is one song that no matter how many years passes. its popularity will only grow bigger.

It is undoubtedly the most famous rock song. I wont say this is the the greatest rock song but in terms of popularity yes it is the greatest rock song ever.

The beats just make you wanna shake your head in a manner Md.Azharuddin used to do during closing ceremonies.

This is how this one goes.

You big disgrace

Kickin’ your can all over the place

We will we will rock you

Buddy you’re a young man hard man

Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day

We will we will rock you

Buddy you’re an old man poor man.

Pleadin’ with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day

You got mud on your face

You big disgrace

Somebody better put you back in your place

We will we will rock you

Stairway to Heaven~ Led Zepellin

Now all you rock fans will hit me with a baton if I dont include this one.

Led Zeppelin the greatest thing to hit America in the 1960 . Stairway to Heaven is the most requested song on the radio . This is the song when it comes to slow rock. Although I wonder how many people listen to slow rock . but those who do . oh baby for them its like a prayer.

People say it had satanic messages if you read it backwards(try it and tell me!)

There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold

And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for

Ooh, ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to heaven

There’s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

’Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

In a tree by the brook, there’s a songbird who sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Ooh, it makes me wonder

Brick in the Wall~ Pink Floyd

Ahem. atlast they are there. Pink Floyd~ arguably the most famous rock band .(some may say RHCP). They have tonnes of hits and I probably will exceed the 8k limit if I start writing about their hitz. so coming to pink floyd’s brick in the wall . it became a hug hit among the teens(we dont need no education!)

Most of you those who havent heard this song must have known them courtesy 5 poni someone~ Chetan Bhagat

Listen to this one for sheer foot tapping beats .heard it and it was love at first sight(ehh.?)

This is how this one goes

We don’t need no education.

We don’t need no thought control.

No dark sarcasm in the classroom.

Teacher, leave those kids alone.

Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!

All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.

All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

Teachers, leave those kids alone.

Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!

All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

Its My Life~ Bon Jovi

Had a nice day huh? Or living your life everyday.?

Ya. you guessed it(unless youre utter dumb) . its him . Bon Jovi

Well he cries This aint a song for the broken hearted but surely he won many hearts with this one. his real claim to fame . most of you must have heard this one. its a gospel fact that even the biggest of the snobs and the bookworms have shaked a booty to this one.

Believe it or not. a road side child without any clothes . unkempt hair . in a total dread . was singing its my lieeef. who says we indians dont have an appetite for bon jovi .

Hey Mr.Have A Nice Day. Look out! you got some following here.

This ain’t a song for the broken-hearted

No silent prayer for the faith-departed

I ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd

You’re gonna hear my voice

When I shout it out loud

It’s my life

It’s now or never

I ain’t gonna live forever

I just want to live while I’m alive

(It’s my life)

I did it my way

I just wanna live while I’m alive

It’s my life

Hotel California~ Eagles

The Eagles(and no im not talking about the bird).

Well hotel california needs no recognition . how many of us have wished we could play the guitar as the eagles~ undoubtedly the most famous lead in the history of music~ hotel california became an instant anthem among all guitarists . has a brilliant and I mean it is has a brilliant lead guitar. the song was a master piece from the band who ruled the charts in the 80’s

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway;

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself,

’this could be heaven or this could be hell’

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor,

I thought I heard them say.

Welcome to the hotel california

Everyday~ Bon Jovi

Everyday is undoubtedly the greatest broken heart song.

The words just want you put your past behind and scream Hey man! Take a chill pill

Although many strongly put down Bon Jovi’s album Bounce but I strongly feel that Everyday is one of Bon Jovi’s best till date. It has a such a nice flow that it just makes you wanna hear it again . I like this one for some other reasons which I prefer wont have stomach here at MS
