I’d say ‘Hotel California’ is the most known song with this word, and the last rock anthem I analyze in this list.Ī funny fact about ‘Hotel California’ is that when I was a teen I went on holiday in Seychelles with my parents, and a local duo made a personal version of this song, substituting ‘Hotel California’ with the name of the bed and breakfast we stayed in. There are so many songs that include the word ‘California’ in their titles, such as ‘California’ by Phantom Planet and ‘California High’ by Grizfolk. When I began playing the guitar, this riff was one of the first things I learned to do – and very young me thought it was it, by knowing that riff I was officially playing the guitar. The riff of this song is highly recognizable and sounds somehow obvious – but it created one of the most known rock songs around the world. The captivating, futuristic and three-colored video is iconic. I researched online how this song became a soccer anthem, because for me it is very interesting how different fields of culture strictly influence each other.ĭifferent from the first two tracks I analyzed, and similarly to the next song on this list, ‘Seven nation army’ is not known for its title or for a line in the lyrics, but what makes people think ‘I know this song!’ is the riff. On the other hand, ‘Seven nation army’ is an identifiable track also by people who have nothing to do with rock music or even with music, but love soccer. I opened another of my Five Songs list with ‘Catch hell blues’, a brilliantly angry and less-known song by The White Stripes.
3 – SEVEN NATION ARMY, by The White Stripes But it is very fascinating in its own way: the loud repetition of ‘We will rock you’, the unforgettable drum pattern, the rapped verses. I found ‘We will rock you’ a basic song, with a very anthem-like tune. In some periods, I sometimes listen to ‘The show must go on’ and ‘Bohemian rhapsody’, but overall, I wouldn’t say I am a fan of them. When as a teen I took guitar lessons I learned the ‘Innuendo’ solo and I had a lot of fun – even though I was way slower than Brian May. Unpopular opinion: I am not a big fan of Queen. ‘Young lust’ (with its opening part ‘Empty spaces’), is one of them. ‘Another brick in the wall’ is surely a starting point in Pink Floyd’s music, but if you want to dive deeper, there are so many cool tracks. Personally, apart from the magical solo by David Gilmour (who is one of my favorite guitarists), I love the helipcopter and the whole beginning of ‘The happiest days of our lives’, which sets the tone for ‘Another brick in the wall pt. 2 is generally referred to as ‘Another brick in the wall’, but it is only one-fourth of it, and if you want the whole experience, with those classical long and progressive Pink Floyd’s songs, the whole emotional and musical progression of the song is totally worth it. 1’, ‘The happiest days of our lives’, ‘Another brick in the wall pt. I think that if you really want to appreciate this song you should listen to it as a whole – formed by ‘Another brick in the wall pt. TODAY’S FIVE SONGS: 1 – ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL, by Pink Floyd Here is a list of some of them – maybe you haven’t heard them for a while, maybe you loved them years ago and then you forgot, maybe you hate them because of them being overrated. This doesn’t mean I don’t like to listen to famous pieces sometimes. This blog was born from the idea of highlighting less known bands and artists, because I am sure there is plenty of them out there. Songs that have very recognizable drums patterns, or a verse that everyone remembers.
The ones that everyone recognizes, because they are anthems of the past that radio broadcast sometimes. There is music that isn’t written because the musician thinks it is not good enough, there are the small tries, there are pieces that become whole tracks and pieces that become nothing. There is amazing music played only in small clubs. I often feel that the music we see on the surface is a very small part of all the music that is out there in the world. I like to dive into music and artists that (almost) no one knows.
