      We maxed out our Led Zep quota on all of our other lists ;) - in all seriousness and fairness Kashmir was an honorable mention on the Rock one, and Led Zep have epic tracks but in terms of "pure, straight up anthems" there are others that scored higher and stood out more. Plus, some variety is good...

    • @Evelina_412
      @Evelina_412 Před 10 lety +13

      It's hard to explain... Hard rock is more aggressive and louder :/ For an example: Rock n' roll is something like The Beatles and Elvis.
      Rock is something like Aerosmith, Queen or Iron Maiden.
      Hard Rock is something like Guns n' Roses or AC/DC.
      Grunge is something like Nirvana or Pearl Jam
      Metal is something like Black Sabbath or Metallica.
      I hope I didn't confuse you even more :D

      Screamo: Black Veil Brides *Early*
      Early Heavy Metal: Iron Maiden, DragonForce
      Early Thrash: Metallica
      Heavy Thrash: Five Finger Death Punch
      Groove Metal: Pantera
      There are many diffferent types of Metal. Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold dont really fit in just one genre... Metallica fits in 2, and A7X fits in 5 :P So dont bash me for those xD My Favorite out of all of them is Avenged Sevenfold, what is yours?

      @RaginRonic Před 7 lety +2

      Hey...what Eddie Van Halen pioneered with hard rock synth keyboards, EUROPE's Joey Tempest and Mic Michaeli perfected. And unlike a lot of other hard rock/hair metal bands at that time, EUROPE kept their focus on trying to make quality music, i.e., 'the eyes on the prize', and tried to kill as many social and media distractions as they could.
      And in truth, that group, minus it's 2nd guitar player Kee Marcello, didn't really feel comfortable with the rock media's encroachment into their lives. I think I read somewhere that Joey was eventually starting to see red with a lot of that. And an angry Joey Tempest is something I'd REALLY not want to see. O.o
      So, Eddie, it might be good to keep that in mind when talking about certain groups....you could be a fan of worse than EUROPE, Van Halen, et al. *cough90sboybandsandgirlgroupscough* =P

      I forgot, I would choose I’m 18 over Schools out, but it still fits. That is actually the first Alice Cooper song I knew. Also kudos to Alice for helping Dave Mustaine get to the sober state he is in now. Without his help and the help of some others, Dave probably wouldn’t have survived. That would have been on par with losing Chris Cornell, for me.

      I get it, but no, We’re Not Gonna Take It is a much more Revolutionary anthem. Raging against authority compared to just rocking hard. We’re Not Gonna Take it has a similar message to many Rage Against the Machine songs. It is just not as heavy.

    Based on my concert experience (ACDC in Moncton, 2009), if there's going to be an AC/DC song for this list, it should be For Those About to Rock. Just because ever since they came out with the song, it's always been the show-stopper and gets the most crowd interaction, which I think that's what an anthem should be, with everyone there involved and loving it. Just my thoughts!

  • @sirkoho

Before they made it big in the US, they toured Europe for 8 years. They are not just the favorite band in Germany, they are the favorite band in many countries.
