Top 10 Songs that are on the List Called "Greatest Hard Rock Songs" that Don't Belong on the List Because They Aren't Hard Rock

To let you know Hard Rock is a Genre of rock that consists of Mainly Heavy Blues Rock. But however the list called "Greatest Hard Rock Songs" is really messed up just like this other list i saw called "Best Hard Rock Bands of the 90s" Which Nirvana was number 1 on that list even though they aren't Hard Rock they are Grunge. So anyway i will make it clear that just because a song you like is on that list doesn't mean they belong on there and this list is not a hate list and i'm not saying any of the songs on this list are bad just they aren't Hard Rock and don't belong on that list.
The Top Ten
1 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

This song is high on that list for mainly its popularity and nothing more. But anyway this song doesn't belong on that list because it's a Grunge song which Grunge is a combination of Alternative Rock and Punk Rock and there's no Blues Rock involved so this song has nothing to do with Hard Rock.

Exactly. I adore this song, but it can't be hard rock in any possible way.

I don't need to write any reasons for this, everybody knew why

Loud Distorted rock, not hard rock.

2 Second Heartbeat - Avenged Sevenfold

This is not Hard Rock at all its Metalcore which is mainly Punk with little Metal elements

Don't know why its called hard rock. In fact A7X isn't a hard rock band.

Look I love this song as much as the next guy but this song is not Hard Rock it's a Metal song with a acoustic first half and a Thrash Metal second half
