Top Ten Most Inspirational Rock Songs
I chose these songs based on, obviously, how inspirational they are to me. I use the term inspirational to describe songs that make me feel glad, make me want to do something good, or help me carry on through the troubles of life.
It's great, catchy and tells you to don't stop believing in what you are going after. There's no one else gonna stop you from taking that midnight train going anywhere you wanna be
I love that song. I love journey overall. I think this is a really inspirational song. Wanna hear a story? OK, so I'm in band in my school. I was at open rehearsal for clarinet day. Our instructors for clarinet day are Summer and Andrew. I was frustrated with the tonguing so andrew told me don't stop believin, like the song. So, me and Amanda (My friend) was all like I love that song! This was friday and I just love that moment! It's so inspirational!
The title just screams "inspirational". It's a well-known song that's almost impossible to dislike. Its well written lyrics about persevering through the toughest of times are enough to make a man cry.
It tells the facts of life that people will fail, and people will succeed. But in the midst of failure or accomplishment, it emphasizes perseverance. That's why I Love this song.

Dream on. A phrase repeated over and over by parents, teachers, and friends alike. Aerosmith took that phrase and created an amazingly inspirational and emotional work of art.
It has to be at number 1. I can't stop hearing it! Sing for the laughter, Sing for the tear, Sing with me now as if it's just for today, May be tomorrow the good LORD will take you away
Don't know why it's not number 1 like for real I'm 12 and I love this song before EVERY football or basketball game I listen to this to get me motivated for the game.
This song just lifts you up and you can't help but feel warm inside when you listen to it's amazing vocals and guitar. I love it.

Not only do I absolutely hate Journey - Don't Stop Believin' is the most cliche, corny BS that has ever been released. I don't love Green Day, but the line "For what it's worth, it was worth all the while" is one of my favorite lines ever. I want to boost this song, but I don't think it's the most inspirational song.
Well it what you pay to people feeling down. Something unpredictable but in the end it's right.
Greatest acoustic song to sing to someone you love...
One of d best Green Day song... A great goodbye song...

Lyrics are amazing and true.
Awesome / balls 2 dah Walls!

This should be in top 10.. This song describes how to pursue what our heart desires.. Really inspirational.
It's my life, it's now or never!
Great song, should be #1

When life brings pushes you down you get up and keep going, we are the champions. One of the most powerful songs
We are the champions, my friends *period*.
Super inspirational for any sport teams!
Queen is the best

Just love this song still! Super inspirational especially when watching with Rocky in the background! Makes me feel like I could do anything, as the lyrics can be taken so many ways, not just for sport competition but also for emotional 'rivals'. Love!
Although many would argue the placement of this song, this is my own opinion. That said, this song is freakin' awesome. Not many other songs make you feel like you can take on the whole world like this one does.
Whenever I listen to this song, I just imagine people running determinedly. This would be a great song to run to. It always makes me want to stand up and do something good with my life.
This song gives you the power to not be afraid of fighting for what you believe in, and this is a quality the world is in dire need of.

Don't let anyone push you around. This song makes me feel like I can stand up to anyone. If you don't feel like that after listening to this, then... I don't know. But you should feel like that.


Come on, this is number 6? The tune is amazing, much better then the same boom boom pow of queen's we will rock you. Awesome song people.
This song inspires one to action and adventure. Plus, it's pretty freakin' awesome to rock out to.

Queen the name says it all.

How is that at only #8? It informs us that there are two paths we can take and that we can change the road we're on. It tells us to go our own way.
You know what's funny? When you listen to this song backwards, it's the complete opposite of the title. Search it up.
Awesome I like the fact that led zeppelin made another motivational song! Just love it!
Anti-commercial message (though it has made them rather a lot of money)

This is the theme song to life itself and it literally is the embodiment of not just living a normal life, but a fantastically badass one where you never give up on anything because you're a badass. BOM.
It is truly amazing and captures the amazing embodiment of life. Fantastic!
I liked that one although I don't listen to this kind of music..
Awesome tune! Always makes me smile no matter how bad I feel.

Free bird... From beginning to end you can hear INSPIRING in those sweet solos... I want this to be played in my graduation, starting slowly, a dance, to end with everyone going wild.
Simply the best from the best band ever, listen to other songs like cheatin woman and I need you genius I love freebird I will leave this world to that song Ronnie, Steve, cassie and Dean R.I.P.
It is the background music to the American history. It touches everyone.
I wonder we're We Rock is by Dio? But Lynrd Skynrd is awesome and Free Bird describes my life

Um... I don't really get how this is very inspirational, maybe something to bring people back to reality with great big egos, but this somehow has inspired me, and the lyrics are empowering. Again, I don't really know how... when it's talking about how nothing matters... sigh. Great Song, though.
Not just inspiring but it throws the light on the hard world out there. And especially after Chester's death, the song becomes more meaningful...
Linkin Park has saved me from some really dark times. If you listen to their lyrics they mostly convey the bad things in life, and overcoming them
When I heared this song then I got lot of powers. This is not song, its one of mantra.

Its really awesome song. Refreshes me every time I hear. Heals a broken heart, Soothes over askew broken wounds...
This should be number 1. Probably most decorated song ever.

Sets my blood on fire! Be it any situation, it casts its charm on me every time I hear it. Not to mention, Queen gives positive music to my ears.
This is a classic song played at sports stadiums all over the country. No other song gets a person so fired up for a sports game.
come on it's Queen I don't even care the song you know. This inspiration comin' from Queen not the song. And lets face it every person in this world shold know this song cause it talks to everyone. Well thanks Queen for all this beautiful songs.
This song gets adrenaline pumping! The best song EVER!

It's an anti-war song but in a broader sense it's a 'make your voice heard' message. Wake up to your own power.
This song is an ultimate piece of beauty that can instantly lift your mood and make you go get things done in your life!
This song should be within top 10. The ONLY reason why it isn't is because it is by a Japanese band, X Japan. People, don't be so narrow-minded. I have listened to bands higher up in the list, like linkin park, Green Day, queen etc But take my words: Art of life is THE MOST EPIC SONG I have come across. It is 29 minutes of pure epicness, with an insane 9 min piano solo, 15 min of crazy guitar solos, blazing drums and vocals. If you say that the song is too long- all I can say is I feel sorry for you- for not having enough musical maturity.
TOO LONG! People would be inspired by this song if they weren't asleep by the song's end.
Great song amazing lyrics.


It's not too late.
It's never too late.
In this world people, where people always go on telling you it is too late, this song in the corner of your heart gives the hope that no, it's not too late. It's never too late. Should be among top 10.
It's never too late to rise above the demons that bring you down.
In a word thank you T.D. G
I think this song is really great and I love this band I think this inspires a lot of changes

This song is rumored to be about being abducted by aliens, I personally like to think of it as a song about adventures and dreams. What's more inspirational than adventures and dreams (or being abducted by aliens)?
It starts out very mellow and POW... it becomes a power ballad. absolutely love it.


Hard to top Don't Stop Believin but how is this not in the top 10? Every time I hear this song I feel like I can do pretty much anything. Just one guitar...
From nothing to a big star. This song really inspires you to action.
