welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
hard rock anthems
for this list we’re basing our choices
on a mix of a songs popularity and it’s
sing-along quality in the hard rock
category
we’re excluding rock and heavy metal
trucks because they’ll be in our top ten
rock anthems and our top ten heavy metal
anthems videos
number 10 the final countdown Europe
while it’s got a great guitar solo and a
terrific blend of hard rock and glam
metal it’s gonna be the Joey Tempest
written keyboard riff and soaring chorus
that make this Europe single so damn
epic
with David Bowie inspired lyrics the
Swedes nabbed a chart-topper in several
countries and an American top-10
today it remains a staple at concerts
and other public events
number nine here I go again Whitesnake
though it was originally found on saints
and sinners
it was the re-recorded version of here I
go again that became a chart-topper in
1987
though we certainly can’t ignore it sexy
music video starring David Coverdale
future wife it’s the hard rock feel and
the Whitesnake front men’s upbeat win it
all costs attitude that make it such a
classic
then there’s the fun to impersonate
vocals but if you are singing along be
careful when you get to this part
number eight pour some sugar on me Def
Leppard
surely a case could be made for Rock of
Ages
but it’s pour some sugar on me that’s
arguably the hard rock tune of the 1980
by mixing black metal with their brand
of rock and roll
Def Leppard earned a number to hit on
the Billboard Hot 100
thanks to the songs crossover appeal the
hysteria single also had both rockers
and pop fans worldwide reaching for some
sugar in the name of love
number seven Paradise City guns and
roses though welcome to the jungle also
gets fans riled up it’s the synthesizer
sounds and slash conceived rip of this
Appetite for Destruction single that
really make us want to go where the
grass is green and the girls are pretty
and let’s not forget its killer guitar
solo
is it any wonder Paradise City became a
top-five track and a Guns N’Roses Live
staple
number six school’s out Alice Cooper
while we do love shouting no more mr.
nice guy
we love yelling school’s out forever
even more
in just three and a half minutes Alice
Cooper perfectly captures the elation
that students everywhere feel when we’ve
got no class
lending hard rock/heavy metal and
proto-punk school’s out soon became a
top-ten hit and is now a pop culture
main stage
number five livin on a prayer bon jovi
it’s hard not to think of the 80s when
you hear the talkbox
intro distinctive bassline and hard rock
and glam metal blend of this Bon Jovi
singles
living on a prayer didn’t only become
the band’s second straight Billboard
chart topper but also one of the Bands
signature tune
but it’s thanks to this band favourite
soaring guitar and rousing lyrics that
it’s had such enduring success
number four highway to hell
ac/dc while the Aussies acknowledge
their fellow rockers and for those about
to rock we salute you
and prove they could still rock as hard
as when they first formed with
thunderstruck
it’s the ac/dc classic highway to helm
it’s got our vote
picturing a Malcolm young conceived grip
a steady beat and some blues mixed in
with their signature hard rock sound
the title cut from the band’s sixth
album takes us on a hell of a ride and
we love every minute
number three rocky like a hurricane
scorpions
the sound of 80s hard rock wouldn’t be
the same without this top 40 hit
thanks to a catchy riff and a confident
chorus the tune turned these Germans
into the ambassadors of rock
whether it’s at sporting events in
movies TV shows or videogames the
science pervasiveness in pop culture
demonstrates the scorpions really do
know how to rock us like a hurricane
number two rock and roll all night kiss
wanna rock and roll all night and party
every day and make sure kiss is
providing the soundtrack
not only does the band know exactly how
to glam things up they also know how to
turn things up when it comes to crafting
loud catchy and endemic Rock numbers
but it’s live and in concert that you’ll
truly experience this hard rock single
in all its glory
before we unveil our number one tip here
are a few honorable mentions
number one we’re not gonna take it
Twisted Sister with its resounding beat
inspiring lyrics and a popular music
video this Twisted Sister single became
the band’s first and only Billboard Hot
100 top 40 hits
that’s not all while it’s considered an
anthem of teen rebellion the tune can
also work for anything and anyone up for
fighting the powers that be and wants to
pick his or her destiny
you can resist chanting we’re not going
to take it whenever you hear this off
