Best Rock Songs of 2017

As we say goodbye to 2017, let’s take a look back at some of the best rock songs of the year. From classic rockers to new up-and-comers, there was no shortage of great music to choose from. Here are just a few of our favorites:

“Crazy on You” by Heart
This song has been a fan favorite since it was first released in 1976, and it’s still going strong. The opening riff is instantly recognizable, and the rest of the song is just as catchy. If you’re looking for a classic rock song to help you ring in the New Year, this is the one.

“Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac
Released in 1977, this song is about as classic as they come. It’s been covered countless times, but no one does it quite like Fleetwood Mac. The harmonies between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are unbeatable, and the lyrics are both relatable and empowering. This is the perfect song to help you start 2018 on your own terms.

“R U Mine?” by Arctic Monkeys
This song was released in 2012, but it became an instant classic. It perfectly captures the feeling of falling in love (or at least falling in lust), and its catchy chorus will stay stuck in your head for days. If you’re looking for a fun, upbeat song to help you start 2018 on a high note, this is the one for you.

Best Rock Moments of 2017

Now that a new year is here, it’s time to look back at some of the best rock moments of 2017. From Foo Fighters’ “Run” to Queens of the Stone Age’s “The Way You Used to Do,” there were plenty of great tunes to rock out to this past year. Here are just a few of our favorites:

Foo Fighters – “Run”
Dave Grohl and company kicked off 2017 with the release of their ninth studio album, Concrete and Gold. The record was full of great tracks, but “Run” was the standout, with its catchy chorus and anthemic feel.

Queens of the Stone Age – “The Way You Used to Do”
The first single from Queens of the Stone Age’s seventh studio album, Villains, “The Way You Used to Do” was a return to form for the band. The track showed that they still know how to write a catchy tune, and it had us pretty excited for the rest of the album.

Royal Blood – “Lights Out”
Royal Blood released their much-anticipated second album, How Did We Get So Dark?, in June 2017. The lead single from the record, “Lights Out,” was a fantastic slice of hard rock that got us hooked on the album right away.

Primus – “The Scheme”
Primus returned in 2017 with their first album in six years, The Desaturating Seven. The record was inspired by singer/bassist Les Claypool’s childhood love of Hugh Lofting’s Doctor Dolittle books, and “The Scheme” was one of its standout tracks.
