top 100 most recognizable rock songs of all-time
Video Overview & Insights
This list was harder to make than the hip hop one, mostly because the lines between what’s considered rock or not is even more blurred than with hip hop and it’s also been in the public eye much longer.
Spotify playlist: https://spotify.link/QWWk067TCDb
also there’s a mistake at 4:15 where i wrote “under pressure” instead of “under the bridge”
“Most recognizable” is based off of what percentage of people would recognize any given song as of today. Obviously this is all opinionated.

Define ROCK. So many non-rock songs here.

i wouldnt call some of these rock but all good songs!
@ThatKoolCatwith9Livesman listen a singer doing vocal Drives and think 'oh, yes, thats rock"
@likeadragon8I would say at least a third of these are not rock songs 😅
@noanoa332How ironic Kurt’s least favorite song being 2 on the most recognizable songs list(yes I know he hated it because of how big it was)
@Gocolts2004-uw3szWhat a nonsense list. Dozens of rock classics are missing, but somehow there's room for a bunch of random flash-in-the-pan hits. Seriously? Give me a break.
@Santiago.de.ChilliPor qué Michael Jackson tiene una sola canción? Eso es criminal
@Fourt_Knoxdisliked for imagine
@user-vw5wp3rp9pimagine is way more recognisable than let it be. and asside from young people hey jude is more recognisable than SLTP
@connHumberNo Phil Collins are you guys NUTS
@supaflyenukaI am fully convinced that the person who made this list is at a bare minimum 55 years old.
@brianmain1572define rock song
@chiefpred9982I imagine that #66 is the bait to farm comments right?
@hdpylpmqtrmppqdmNo Born to Run. Please
@pappy4075in my opinion green day would have better if they had a couple more songs insead of imagine dragons.since imagin dragons arent rock.
@Meme.medicineWheres the smiths?
@CarmeloLover15896:21
Hey Chuck... Chuck? It's your cousin Marvin, you know that new sound you lookin for? Well listen to this...
How the fuck is One Last Breath by Creed not on here but Imagine Dragons shows up like 3 times???
@Rang84rBohemian Rhapsody does not deserve #1.
@FootJelly14:01 Micheal Jackson is pop tho-
@Literally_mangoImagine dragons higher than Paranoid???? WTF
@carmencamunas6835Music is the soul escaping the hunan mind.
@EdginLegend"Under Pressure" is such a good song, it's here twice.
@EdginLegendWhere is Eric Clapton ?
@jpcrab714No Paramore, no Halestorm, no Stevie Nicks, only 1 White Stripes, no Strokes, no Foo Fighters, no Smashing Pumpkins, no Pearl Jam, NO FUCKING PINK FLOYD?!
To cap it off, you could argue Beatles and John Lennon could be in pop not rock, Journey are only known nowadays thanks to the resurgence via GLEE and yet somehow Imagine Dragons in here twice? What a FUCKING JOKE LIST.
Gen Z Led Zeppelin fan right here. I like listening to Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, guns n roses, nirvana and Queen
@igt300BILLIE JEAN?
@beatlemaniaclub100 songs and not one song by Arctic Monkeys !!!!
@raito7291Demasiado Queen, G and R y Ac/d. Poco 90s para adelante.
@josabe4912I didn't recognize Blue Sky basically at all.....
@DonaldGrantKappWelcome To The Black Parade is in the first 15 recognizable songs and I barely recognize it........ In fact I would say that only 5% of people have even heard it that are 60+ years old
@DonaldGrantKappLinkin Park is on here, im not complaining. But where is What I've Done?
@kathleenherman3850immigrant song is THE GOAT
@Nate-x9t7dStarman should be 1
@surf-l5qWhere is Billie Jean? other then that great list.

i love this kind of music, reminds me of better times
Thanx for your work! Know all of them. I totally loved to watch the original videos! I do agree, very much masterpieces are missing, but loved to hear from Kiss, van Halen, Europe and so much more! I think I have to do my own Top 200 list: from rock, over punk/indie/alternative to Metal and New Metal. Oh, I guess that will be a top 500 list at the end😬, my heritage. My daughter doesn‘t like rock and metal, but I still hope for the future😉
@sandraschmidt6479fa veramente cagare! Fai dell'altro invece che queste porcherie!
