Best Hindi Rock Songs

We all know how the Hindi music scene is dominated by bollywood which is famous for producing sappy romantic films which have songs which make you puke. Whatever we listen to is either from local bands in Delhi who either perform in English or don't know anything about any kind of rock. Whereas across the border there are many rock bands. But almost all of these people I mentioned get swallowed by Bollywood & which offers more money & accepts only pop. Ex:-Vishal Dalani of Pentagram, Atif Aslam. But lately things have started to change & many good rock songs have been produced. This is my list.

The Top Ten

1 Bande - Indian Ocean

14 O Mama - Saat Khoon Maaf

KK is a legendary singer of Bollywood & combined with Javed Akhtar's dark lyrics & Vishal Bhardwaj's music, it does what it's supposed to do. IT ROCKS.

For me its best

15 Zahreelay - Rock ON

This boasts of being the first proper rock song of Bollywood.

The best ever! This is NUMBER 1 for me. The list isn't for 'best songs', it's for the 'best rock songs' by the way!

This is the actual real rock song to come out of Bollywood. The voice, the drums, the guitar riff and that killer shred solo.

A genuine rock/metal song. m/

Zubeen da did a great job. All time favorite song!

19 Sun Raha Hai - Aashiqui 2

How the hell you people missed this song.. Its released recently and it was a bang in public, and believe me the film was a blockbuster just because of this song.. Absolutely awesome rock song..
But this should be second in the list after bhaag D. K bose, which is the ultimate Indian rock song

Amazing movie song. Definitely must be given a higher rating

Best song for me. It should be on the top of the list... Never listened such a nice song with full of emotions

It's really a song wich should have a place in top 5 rocking songs of Bollywood

25 Bhulana Payenge Woh Din - Ahhirann

One of the best pop punk song composed in India. Sounds like Old school rock music. Feels like flying back to school. Sounds very much American Punk band sound. Would love to see the video of this song please.

Melodious pop punk song. Reminds me of Band Green Day. Happy to hear the such sound by a band here in India

30 Attyachar(Rock Version) - Dev D

This is the best song... Should be on the top or at least the second best after bhaag DK bose... This turns out to be the best stress buster...

Why isn't this at the top?
This one's epic

People above don't understand true rock

This should go right to the TOP of the list. Real emotions, real pain, awesome distortion and drumming. Right on top with Zehreeley from Rock On.
