Top 10 Things that are Common in Rock Music

Things that you might commonly hear in some genres of Rock. Because all Rock Genres are kind of different in their own way.
The Top Ten
1 Guitar Solos

They might be short, or long solos but again varies on the rock band/ artist you're listening to.

My favorite guitar solo is he one at the end of Hotel California by the Eagles.

2 Guitars

They're a fairly important aspect of the genre as a whole.

This is sort of a pointless list.

3 Guitar Riffs

The Sunshine of your love and Smoke on the water guitar riffs are one of the best guitar riffs in my opinion yet iconic.- Kevinsidis

It's common because it's usually one of the first things you'll hear in a Rock song.

Rock songs are based around guitar riffs most of the time to be honest

4 Drums

A common instrument used in Rock music, and generally defines the genre along with everything else.

5 Bass Guitar

Common but again a very important aspect of the genre.

6 Fast Drumming

Both Rock and Metal have fast drumming, but the speed on both genres can vary.

7 Breakdowns/ Bridges

Usually towards a end of a Rock song, but it varies on the Rock band you listen to really.

8 Rhythm Guitar

Common, and fairly noticeable.

9 Backup Vocals

Common in lots of genres, including Rock music.

10 Screaming/ Growling

Depends on the Rock genre, and band you're listening to obviously.
