Beginners Guide to Rock Music
Beginners Guide to Rock Music
Of the many reaction videos I saw on Youtube featuring
people listening to Pop/EDM Music reacting to Metal Music, there are two things
that comes to my mind. One, their reaction is already pretty much predictable,
they are accustomed to their Poop Pop music. Second, perhaps making a
person who have never even listened to a rock song listen to an Extreme Metal
band won’t make that person like the metal band that much. Instead of just for
the fun of the videos, I think it would be better to give them a taste of Rock
music first before Metal music, it makes for a certain progression to Metal
Music. Getting that idea in mind, Here’s a Beginner’s guide to Rock music,
according to my recommendation, the first step to take you through. In Metal
and Rock, there is something for everybody I believe, for the people who enjoy
soft music or to a little upbeat music perhaps. As a person born in the mid 90s
these are the bands that got me started and made me love Rock Music and hopefully
will get you excited about the genre too if you’re new to it. Here are a few
Bands and some of their specific songs that you should listen to first off. And
one more thing, Welcome to Rock Music!
AC/DC
AC/DC is to Rock n Roll what letter ‘A’ is to the English
Alphabets! That’s it for the band.
Songs: Highway to Hell, Rock n Roll Train, Thunderstruck,
Back in Black, It’s a long way to the top, Whole lotta rosie
Linkin Park
Linkin Park is a well known band for ages which still
continues to welcome generations to Rock Music. The recent approach to their
music has changed so I recommend you listen to their old material to get a
taste of their Rock music.
Songs: Numb, Crawling, Somewhere I belong, Leave out all
the rest, In the End, What’ve I done
Guns n Roses
GNR is one of the well known rock band, especially among
the Guitarists or aspiring Guitarists, all credit to Slash.
Songs: Sweet Child o’ mine, November Rain, Starlight,
Paradise City, Knockin’ on Heaven’s door, Nightrain
Green Day
When anybody says Punk Rock Band, this is the first band
that comes to my mind; sadly, it’s also the only band that comes to my mind.
Songs: Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Good Riddance, Wake me
up when September Ends, 21 guns, Know your enemy, Revolution Radio
Evanescence
An awesome Grammy award winning Rock band.
Songs: Bring me to life, My Immortal, Lithium, My Heart
is Broken, Imaginary, I’m Broken (feat Seether)
Scorpions
Scorpions is one of the best Rock Band of all time, an
essential band in the playlist if you’re listening to some of the best rock
music.
Songs: Still loving you, Rock you like a Hurricane, Winds
of Change, A moment in a million years, You and I, The good die young
Alter Bridge
I may be biased here because Alter Bridge has my
favourite Hard Rock Vocalist, Myles Kennedy and my Guitar Inspiration, Mark
Tremonti (fucking hell, he is mad talented in everything Music related, lyrics,
riffing, guitar soloing, you name it!) but this band has some truly great rock
songs. Some real inspiring lyrics as well. Best Hard Rock Band for me!
Songs: Life must go on, All ends well, Brand New Start,
Wonderful Life, My Champion, Broken Wings
Creed
Creed is a yet another well known Rock Band of the past,
famous among many guitarist for the guitar intro of the song One Last Breath by
Mark Tremonti. Back in my School days, anyone in School who plays that intro on
the guitar is a certified Rockstar, doesn’t matter if he/she only knows the
intro of the song, that person’s the shit! And also the Tears don’t fall intro
by Bullet from my Valentine! Just Stupid things as Kids!
Songs: One last Breath, With arms wide open, Don’t stop
Dancing, Higher, My Sacrifice, Weathered
Stone Sour
Corey Taylor, the Metal
Icon fronted band before Heavy Metal Band Slipknot, Stone Sour has some awesome rock
tunes under their name.
Songs: Through the Glass,
Zzyzx Rd., Tired, The Conflagration, Gimme Shelter (feat Lizzy Hale), Hesitate
Nickelback
Nickelback is not really known to be one of the most
loved Rock Band there is today but if you’re new to Rock then chances are you
will like their songs. They have some well known rock songs in their records
Songs: Rockstar, Burn it to the ground, Far Away,
Someday, Photograph, Gotta be Somebody

These 60 Songs by these
bands should get you excited about the Genre. These are just some of the great
bands among many others, do some research on other alternatives as well if you enjoy
the songs I mentioned above. This list is compiled on the basis that you’re new
to Rock or even if you’re into Metal Music, maybe you would like to go back onto
some awesome Rock tracks. I tried to put together this list which newcomers to
Rock might enjoy and I sincerely hope that some of you do. Rock is a Great Musical
genre and though nowadays it’s not the genre that is the most popular among
people I certainly hope that more people tune into the genre and enjoy it
because, well, the more the merrier! Rock n Roll.
