Hello beautiful people! Thank you for clicking on my article:) I hope you're having a great day ♡
I love rock & roll so much so in this article i am going to list one of my favourite rock bands along with some songs of each band + lyrics
Enjoy 🤘
ɢᴜɴs ɴ' ʀᴏsᴇs
I'm sure all of you will agree that they're one of rock's greatest bands. They have a lot of amazing songs like:
- Sweet Child O' Mine
"She's got eyes of the bluest skies as if they thought of rain I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child I'd hide and pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by"
The intro guitar riff for "Sweet Child O' Mine" is recognized as one of the greatest ever. Go give it a listen!
- November Rain
"And when your fears subside and shadows still remain I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame so never mind the darkness we still can find a way 'cause nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain"
ᴍᴇᴛᴀʟʟɪᴄᴀ
One of the most influential and kick ass heavy metal band of all time. They have amazing songwriting skills and they talk about different problems in their songs, for example, Enter Sandman is about childhood nightmares:
- Enter Sandman
"Hush little baby, don't say a word and never mind that noise you heard it's just the beasts under your bed in your closet, in your head"
- Fade to Black
"I have lost the will to live simply nothing more to give there is nothing more for me need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be missing one inside of me deathly lost, this can't be real cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me to the point of agony growing darkness taking dawn i was me, but now he's gone"
- Sad But True
I'm your dream, make you real i'm your eyes when you must steal i'm your pain when you can't feel sad but true
ᴀʀᴄᴛɪᴄ ᴍᴏɴᴋᴇʏs
I've been into rock for about 5 years and they were the first rock band that i got into. I love them so much and I can't wait for their new album !! it's been 84 years! I love all of their songs and lyrics, one of my favs are:
- 505
"Oh when you look at me like that my darling what did you expect i'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck or i did last time I checked"
- R U Mine
"I guess what I'm trying to say is I need the deep end keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days great escape lost track of time and space she's a silver lining climbing on my desire and I go crazy 'cause here isn't where i wanna be and satisfaction feels like a distant memory"
ɴɪʀᴠᴀɴᴀ
A grunge rock band that we all love and listen to. Kurt Cobain was a legend and will always remain one. He used his influence to rail against sexism, racism, homophobia etc and the world's so grateful for him. I'm so saddened that he went to heaven so early.
- Lithium
"I'm so happy, 'cause today I've found my friends they're in my head i'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you we've broke our mirrors sunday morning, is every day for all I care and I'm not scared light my candles, in a daze, 'cause I've found God"
- Dumb
"I'm not like them but I can pretend the sun is gone but I have a light the day is done but I'm having fun i think I'm dumb or maybe just happy"
ғᴏᴏ ғɪɢʜᴛᴇʀs
I started listening to them recently and I just love them. They are fantastic and cool and i feel like it's not talked about them enough. One of their best songs are:
- All My Life
"All my life I've been searching for something something never comes never leads to nothing nothing satisfies but I'm getting close closer to the prize at the end of the rope all night long I dream of the day when it comes around then it's taken away leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most feel it come to life when I see your ghost"
- The Pretender
"I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear i'm the face that you have to face mirrored in your stare i'm what's left, I'm what's right i'm the enemy i'm the hand that will take you down bring you to your knees"
ᴘɪɴᴋ ғʟᴏʏᴅ
One of the most incredible bands whose music will always live on! Most of their songs are very long and slow and all of them are masterpieces. If you want to ascend to another world, listen to them, like seriously.
- Shine On You Crazy Diamond
"Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. shine on you crazy diamond. now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. shine on you crazy diamond. you were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze. come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!"
- Another Brick In The Wall
"We don't need no education we don't need no thought control no dark sarcasm in the classroom teacher, leave them kids alone"
- Comfortably Numb
"There is no pain, you are receding a distant ship smoke on the horizon you are only coming through in waves your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying when I was a child I had a fever my hands felt just like two balloons now I've got that feeling once again i can't explain, you would not understand this is not how I am i have become comfortably numb"
ʀᴀᴅɪᴏʜᴇᴀᴅ
Originally called "On a Friday", they are truly brilliant and one of the greatest bands out there today. One of their most popular songs is creep, which you've surely heard. Every song will leave you either ascending to another world, in tears or deep in your feelings.
- Creep
"But I'm a creep i'm a weirdo what the hell am I doing here? i don't belong here i don't care if it hurts i want to have control i want a perfect body i want a perfect soul i want you to notice when I'm not around you're so fucking special i wish I was special"
ʟɪɴᴋɪɴ ᴘᴀʀᴋ
So Linkin Park really cannot be labeled just as a rock band because their music is a mix of many genres including Alternative, Nu-Metal, Rock, Rap, Rock and Pop but i'm still going to include them in my article because i love them so much. The lead vocalist- Chester Bennington left us last year and everyday I wonder why is it that God always takes all the good people. I love and miss him so much.
- Crawling
"Crawling in my skin these wounds they will not heal fear is how I fall confusing what is real discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me distracting reacting against my will I stand beside my own reflection it's haunting how I can't seem to find myself again"
- Somewhere I belong
"I had nothing to say and I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me (i was confused) and I let it all out to find that I'm not the only person with these things in mind (inside of me) but all the vacancy the words revealed is the only real thing that I've got left to feel (nothing to lose) just stuck, hollow and alone and the fault is my own, and the fault is my own" //
"I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real i wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long (erase all the pain 'til it's gone) i wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real i wanna find something I've wanted all along somewhere I belong"
- In The End
"Things aren't the way they were before you wouldn't even recognize me anymore not that you knew me back then but it all comes back to me in the end you kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter i had to fall to lose it all but in the end it doesn't even matter"
sʏsᴛᴇᴍ ᴏғ ᴀ ᴅᴏᴡɴ
System of A Down is a very unique alternative metal band from Armenia. Sometimes their music is calm, sometimes its angry and crazy but it always gives me energy and makes me jump. Their lyrics are open to interpretation and speak of politics, religion and experiences.
- Toxicity
"Conversion software version 7.0 looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub eating seeds as a pastime activity the toxicity of our city, of our city
You! what do you own the world how do you own disorder, disorder now! somewhere between the sacred silence sacred silence and sleep somewhere..."
- Aerials
"Life is a waterfall we're one in the river and one again after the fall swimming through the void, we hear the word we lose ourselves, but we find it all"
So these are some of the rock 'n' roll legends that I love, I couldn't list them all in this article so I will make part 2! It feels like I'm just listing all rock bands that exist but it's so hard for me to pick just 5 or even 10.. So expect part 2 soon 😉
I gotta apologize if there are any mistakes, but English isn't my first language so i hope you understand
I hope you liked and enjoyed this article! Thank you for reading ♡
