Greatest Rock Songs of the 21st Century
I had heard it before. It's not usually my type of music. While drunk after a cousin's funeral, however, I heard it and played it over several times. It seemed very fitting. Glad I found this site to remember the name of it.
Love Chester's voice. People need to stop hating on artists like Linkin Park. These guys have actual talent. Instead, they listen to atrocious songs and artists.
One thing, I don't know why. It doesn't even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind. I designed this rhyme to explain it all. In the End rocks. That's what I know.
An inspiring song. The world has become a very complex place where everyone is required to struggle in order to achieve the summit of greatness. Hence, this song tells us that it's our struggle, and only we can complete it. No one can spoon-feed you always. You have to learn to be self-dependent.
It sounds like a ribbon of perfection. The opening, the lyrics, the general vibe! It's moving and meaningful and sounds incredible!
Very good song, one of the best rock songs of the present century. In the End is not as good, but it is on top. AMAZING!
I don't think it's the best song on this list, but it's the only song that is near the top and could get to the top in the future and that deserves to come anywhere near the top (apart from Boulevard of Broken Dreams, but 7NA edges it for me).
It's a shame that there's a disproportionate representation of nu-metal, pop-punk, and emo in comparison to indie and alternative rock because the people voting on this poll are (mostly) the sort of degenerates that listen to Linkin Park et al. Songs like "No One Knows" and "Reptilia" are far better than every song in this top ten and aren't even on the list. I'm glad that this song is third, though, because while I believe that it is overrated and there are better garage rock songs on the list, like "Take Me Out" (which is down at 56), at least garage/indie rock has some representation.
Meteora was the perfect album because it was both heavy and soft at the same time. Love this song.
Best song in the world. No challenge!
The best song not just by Linkin Park but by any other band or artist ever made. It's better than In the End or any other rock song ever made. This song has a deep meaning and we can all relate to it. Simply the best song, deserves to be at the top.
This song is an incredibly powerful and emotional anthem, an iconic song from an iconic album. I've always felt like I wanted to scream along with Gerard and surrender to the euphoric sensation this track creates.
My Chemical Romance has been extremely influential to millions, and I think they deserve a lot more recognition for the amazing music and messages they have shared. This album was one hell of a process for the band. It was made after Gerard got sober, so I think it's obvious how his artistic talents came out. Although their music had a darker image and lyrics, they represent the light in the darkness as they literally fought their own demons, creating absolute beauty in death.
I recently read a fantastic biography about the band's career. All the boys from the band have gone on to continue producing music, which is the best result after they broke up. Gerard has also been writing and illustrating comics, which has been his childhood dream! My Chemical Romance is still so influential. In my personal opinion, they pretty much tie with Green Day on this list: 1. Boulevard of Broken Dreams, 2. American Idiot, then 3. The Black Parade.
Amy Lee and Ben Moody did a great job. Best song ever.
This is the best rock song. A7X has everything: the best guitarist, the best vocalist, the best bassist, the best drummer. This band is the perfect hard rock and heavy metal band of all time, and all of you know the band has a huge fan base at present.
One of the best songs by the best band ever. Should be at the top of the list, no doubt.
This has to be on the top. On top is a crass... A7X is the best...
Best. Alternative. Rock. Song. Ever! Enough said.
One of the best songs I have ever heard...
A monument in modern music, like a symphony played over the tunes of a rock song, with the London Philharmonic Orchestra providing the classical elements of this epic symphonic metal track. And Tarja's voice... oh, Tarja sings like an angel.
The different segments of the 10-minute track offer a wide range of moods and styles: fantasy-like, dramatic, slow, calm, wild and threatening, dreamy, and more.
(Just wish it wouldn't end with a fade-out.)
Couldn't make it as a wise man, couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing...
Come on! This song deserves to be higher up! Like, no. 5 or higher!
Couldn't make it as a wise man, couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing...
What is this wonderful song doing down here?!
This is one of the greatest rock songs!
I still wonder how people can deny the strong meaning of this song! The lyrics describe so well how popular and rich teenagers act towards others nowadays. A lot of teens can relate to this song about being kind of 'rejected' because you're not as mean and rude as some people in society today.
