my playlist 

Some Rock songs I’ve discovered over the years, each one has a different style:

Hi !

Thank you @EPSILXN187  for sharing your playlist .

There I see much songs which are new to me

Oh yes...I’m a big rock and metal fan...so...this is my favorite rock playlist on Deezer:

DOKKEN - new studio album "Heaven Comes Down"

hard rock

1991 is an unforgettable year for music lovers, I selected some of the best rock albums that changed things and made the year revolutionary.

1-Mariah Carey had 3 songs on the global charts when suddenly… BAM! Nirvana came with  Nevermind  and changed the music industry! Now is the new era of rock!

2 - More Than Words by Extreme was very popular in 1991, but we needed more than that! R.E.M released  Out of Time with Losing My Religion  as the first single, just in time to top the album sales charts for 183 weeks!

3 - Color Me Badd reached number 2 on the world charts with I Wanna Sex You Up, but the world needed a little more magic. Maybe a little more blood too. Red Hot Chilli Peppers also reached No. 2 on the charts during the same year with  Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

4 – Bryan Adams was everywhere singing the power ballad Everything I Do I Do It For You. But Metallica revolutionised the market with their self-titled Metallica album (better known as the “black album”) and songs like  Nothing Else Matters or Enter Sandman

Now, all that's left is to add some classic bands and their respective albums to this list: Pearl Jam with Ten, Soundgarden and Superunknown, Alice in Chains with Dirt and Stone Temple Pilots with their album Core.

These bands are the pioneers of grunge and brought the movement to the rest of the world. 

That being said… my favourite rock band from the 90’s was Guns N’ Roses (also my first concert) and many years later, I still enjoy with Pearl Jam :)

@Jaime. 

90' was really revolutionary decade in rock .All these bands was the pioneers of grunge like you say ,and the rest is history .

@Jaime. oh yesss...Nirvana, Metallica, the Red Hot Chilli Pepers and Pearl Jam...magical in those days. Totally new and the world was waiting for something else than a Bryan Adams (not that he is bad, he also has magical songs).

We had to wait for it, but there it is: The new album of the Austria band Serenity. It was released yesterday. If you like your rock a bit more metal-like with symphonic elements, listen to Serenity.

Wiki:

Serenity is an Austrian symphonic power metal band, originally formed back in 2001. They became a more stable group with a consistent line-up in 2004, when it also began using more progressive and power influences than earlier. They have defined their genre with more melodic and symphonic metal elements.

Most of their music focuses on important historical figures and events, including Sir Francis Drake, Marco Polo, Galileo, Beethoven and Napoleon. 

I haven’t listened to this yet. Dokken is “old skool” hard rock and a bit of a legend in their gerne. But the reviews aren’t that good.

What do you think of this album @Nina Nebo ?

I don't care about reviews .I can decide if song or album is good or not . I like old school rock and this album is good. Hope you @awesomemac  will like them too !

I also don’t care about reviews and I’m going to give the album a spin this weekend.

Listen this : RONNIE ATKINS – TRINITY

Fun facts about Rock (from Google ):

Rock 'n' roll is a popular music genre that combines elements of rhythm and blues (R&B), jazz, and country music with the addition of electric instruments. Originally associated with youth revolt and transgression, the genre is known for energetic performances, catchy melodies, and often insightful lyrics.

Why rock music is so good?
With its pounding rhythms and energizing guitar riffs, rock and roll will get you moving! The genre boosts a powerful forward momentum that calls the body to action and keeps the listener motivated while they focus and power through strenuous activity or a tough workout.

How did rock begin?
Rock music first grew out of the rock'n'roll movement of the 1940s and 50s, which itself was inspired by country and African-American rhythm and blues from the 1920s and 30s.

Who invented rock and roll music?
Chuck Berry did in fact invent rock'n'roll. Of course similar musics would have sprung up without him.

Who was the first rock guitarist?
Chuck Berry poses for a portrait holding his Gibson hollow body electric guitar circa 1956. Charles Edward Anderson Berry was present at rock n' roll's infancy in the 1950s and emerged as its first star guitarist and songwriter.

What was the first rock song?
And that's why we agree that Jackie Brenston's “Rocket 88” from 1951 should be considered the first rock and roll song.

Who was the first rock band?
Bill Haley: Rock Around the Clock – the world's first rock ...
Bill Haley & His Comets had no rivals. They were the first rock'n'roll band, and Rock Around the Clock was the first international rock'n'roll No 1.

Stone Temple Pilots Album Purple (1994)

Mmm, should we start a “Song or album with Purple in it”? 

Well ,we don't' have much choice .... how many purple rock song do you know ?! 

There aren’t many I think.

This one is purple …. and ?

I don’t consider Prince a rock artist if you don’t mind 

Oooops , you catch me @awesomemac  hahaha ! 

Of course Prince is not rock artist ,but this song have a bit of rock in it and it's PURPLE.
The song is a power ballad that combines rock, R&B, gospel, and orchestral music .
