Folk rock is a genre that takes the best of both worlds, the raw emotion and storytelling of folk music with the catchy melodies and instrumentation of rock. Here are five of the best folk rock songs of all time.

“The Weight” by The Band
One of the most iconic bands of all time, The Band blended country, blues, and rock to create a sound all their own. “The Weight” is one of their most famous songs, and for good reason. The song is about a man who has been away from home for a while and is trying to make his way back. Along the way, he picks up some stragglers and has to deal with the weight of their baggage both figuratively and literally. The song is catchy, emotional, and perfectly encapsulates what folk rock is all about.

“I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers
This Scottish duo had a surprise hit in America with this song about two brothers who are apart but still think about each other constantly. The chorus will stay in your head for days, but it’s the verses where the emotion really comes through. The lyrics are simple but effective, and the whole song has an anthemic quality that makes you want to sing along at the top of your lungs.

“The Times They Are A-Changin'” by Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan is one of the most influential musicians of all time, and this song is perhaps his most famous. Dylan wrote this song during a time of great social upheaval in America, and the lyrics reflect that. The song is about how things are changing rapidly and people need to adapt or be left behind. The simple but beautiful melody belies the depth of the lyrics, which has made this one of Dylan’s most enduring songs.

“Since U Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson
This pop anthem was actually written by indie rockers Max Martin and Lukasz Gottwald, better known as Dr. Luke. It was originally intended for Pink but ended up being one of Kelly Clarkson’s biggest hits instead. The song is about moving on from a relationship that has ended, and it perfectly captures the feeling of finally being free from someone who was holding you back. Clarkson’s powerful vocal performance only adds to the emotion of the song.

“Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey
