these songs make us want to rock out
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
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 general rock
category
we’re excluding hard rock and heavy
metal tracks because they’ll be in our
top ten hard rock anthems and our top
ten heavy metal anthems videos
number ten Baba O’Riley
the hoop
while the fast-paced and rebellious my
generation could have also worked
we pick the more experimental hard
rocker Baba O’Riley for number 10
with its unforgettable synthesizer
opening violin solo and soulful vocals
it’s often considered one of the who’s
best
and thanks to the repetition of the
phrase teenage wasteland the song has
brought adolescence together in
celebration for decades
9 I can’t get no satisfaction the
Rolling Stones
after conceiving this songs now famous
riff in a dream
Keith Richards teamed up with Mick
Jagger to compose this sexually charged
number
on the strength of its guitar sound and
lyrics that truly spoke to a generation
I can’t get no satisfaction became the
Rolling Stones first American
chart-topper
meanwhile jagger’s versatile vocal
delivery attracted fans around the world
and has us coming back for more over and
over again
number eight I have the tiger survivor
for its distinctive guitar riff and
motivational lyrics rocky threes theme
song makes our list not only is the
survivor tune used in the film during a
montage of rocky Balboa’s multiple
boxing victories it’s also a
chart-topping hard rocker that rises up
to the challenge of its rivals whether
you’re working out at a show or hanging
out in your bedroom there’s just nothing
that will pump you up like eye of the
tiger
number seven don’t stop believin journey
you’d be hard-pressed to find a rock fan
who doesn’t recognize the keyboard riff
that opens this journey power ballad
the top 10 80s hit is now the
best-selling rock song in digital
history
while multiple sports teams have adopted
the song thanks to its anthemic nature
and catchy lyrics
it’s the tracks use in pop culture and
motivating lyrics that have really got
us holding on to that feeling
number six pride in the name of love you
too while the clanging guitars and
military inspired beat of Sunday Bloody
Sunday make it hard to forget
it’s YouTube Sonic tribute to Martin
Luther King jr. that last year
thanks to a combination of rock and
post-punk elements bolstered by
meaningful lyrics and a memorable melody
pride showcased Bono’s incredible vocal
range and the band’s musical chemistry
but it’s the numbers power and inspiring
lyrics but not the band their first
American top 40 tracks
and has a singing along every time
number five rocking in the free world
Neil Young
though an acoustic arrangement of this
freedom track has been released
it’s obviously the electric version of
rocking in the free world that lands
here
written and produced by Neil Young this
politically-charged track has the
Canadian singer-songwriter displaying
his electrifying guitar skills
so it’s course has become associated
with the fall of communism we love it
because it still rocks hard and loud
today
number four born in the USA Bruce
Springsteen
the title track to Bruce Springsteen’s
born in the USA was the
singer-songwriters third top-ten
American single from his seventh studio
album
with its Heartland rock style and
socio-political lyrics the song has
become a Springsteen classic
but it’s born in the us’s rousing chorus
memorable synthesizer riff and blasting
drums that have made it one of his most
well known tracks
number three born to be wild
Steppenwolf this Mars bonfire pin track
was originally conceived as a ballad
that obviously didn’t pan out and boy
are we glad it didn’t
by speeding things up and adding a blast
of drums and guitar Steppenwolf brought
out our wild sides and earned a number
two hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the
process
it also had us looking for adventure and
wanting to take the world in a love
embrace
number two I love rock and roll Joan
Jett and the Blackhearts
the Blackhearts front woman may not have
written this love song to rock and roll
but she most definitely made it her own
with her no BS attitude
growly vocals and killer guitar sound
Joan Jett hit the top of the Billboard
Hot 100 charts with I love rock and roll
come on admit it you can’t help but clap
your hands and yell along with the
godmother of punk when miss rockers
playing before we unveil our number one
pick here are a few honorable mentions
number one we will rock you Queen the
Bohemian Rhapsody is arguably the
ultimate queen tune
and we are the champions is also a
popular sports anthem
it’s we will rock you that tops our list
is mostly acapella number proof Queen
didn’t even need instruments to show off
their musical talents since aside from
Brian Mays concluding guitar solo
the band only needed to sing clap their
hands and stomp their feet to nab a
top-ten single they will rock us Indy do
