06.06.19 | I really love this list... :))) |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | My previous list wasn't controversial enough so I thought I'd drop a strange list of what I consider to be the 'rock songs' to make the most impression on me/have the most significance from this decade.
The list is light on conventional rock because conventional rock has become only one way to deliver a 'rock song' flavour in the 10s.
As such these aren't necessarily my favourite 'rock songs' of the 10s in terms of purely how I consider them in terms of quality - plus only one song allowed per album to keep it more interesting. |
BigHans
06.06.19 | The House That Heaven Built is one of the 50 best rock songs of all time, any genre. Props for Shock Me, what a fucking jam. Baroness is amazing live btw.
If you like Strand of Oaks, check out the songs Rest of It and Radio Kids. |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | Hans - yeah, I need to check the older Strand of Oaks stuff.
In some cases here I prefer other songs on the album or by the artist but these songs seemed the closest to what I class a 'rock song' - but I'm aware this list might only make sense to me. |
sixdegrees
06.06.19 | needs more qualifiers |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | Also this won't give away too much on my 'Top 100 Songs of the 10s' list - think there'll be 6 or 7 song overlap at most. |
luci
06.06.19 | not beautiful blue sky off the ought record? |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | I'm not sure that one felt 'rock' enough for me but you see my dilemma - that is my favourite song off the album. |
BigHans
06.06.19 | Throw Me in the River - The Smith Street Band
Dark Places - Gaslight Anthem
Atlas Drowned - Gang of Youths
Two For Flinching - Red City Radio
Cutesy Monster Man - Iron Chic
After the Party - The Menzingers
Alaskan Thunderfuck - The Atomic Bitchwax
No Surrender - Judas Priest
You Worry Me - Nathaniel Rateliff & the Nightsweats
Separate Songs - Restorations
Those are all monster anthemic jams

Slex
06.06.19 | Man this is awesome
1 is so so so great |
Sinternet
06.06.19 | this is a nice list doof, i at least like most of these. desire lines and red eyes would def make my list, ready to start too |
theBoneyKing
06.06.19 | Wow, a positive Sint comment on a Doof list! ;-P |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | I don't even get it right when I predict a controversial list
Thanks for posi comments fam |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | I'd say this list confirms Cloud Nothings are my 'rock act' of the 10s - I nearly put up a song from the latest album too |
Sinternet
06.06.19 | sometimes i gotta give the man some credit, he tries after all |
BigHans
06.06.19 | Never heard 1 before, pretty tasty jam |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | Hans - a three part'er with parts two and three superior to part one. Took me a while to realise it was my favourite on that album...and even longer to realise it was probably my favourite/most played rock song of the decade. |
Sharkattack
06.06.19 | List deserves a hearty fuck yeah! From yours truly. I wouldn’t put 1 at 1 per se but it’s a great song and would probably make my top 10 if I made a similar list. |
dmathias52
06.06.19 | I've never given Cloud Nothings the chance they deserve - What do you think would be the best starting point? |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | dmat - I'd say jump in at 'Here and Nowhere Else'
Either that or Attack on Memory, but i think 'Here and Nowhere' is more instantly loveable and grabby |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.06.19 | Damn I need to check 7 |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | Well 7 to me is a rock or punk protest song - but obviously played by The Knife who aren't in any way a rock act or conventional song writers |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.06.19 | Mmm their earlier work definitely had some moments that felt 'rock' without sounding anything like it tbh, so I'm sold |
BigHans
06.06.19 | I should have jammed Cloud Nothings a long time ago. Right up my alley. |
anat
06.06.19 | I've got the best Drones/Liddiard 'rock' song as A Moat You Can Stand in from I See Seaweed, that one is a belter |
DoofDoof
06.06.19 | Listening to it again now - when does he find time to breathe while singing that one? Bosh |
Divaman
06.07.19 | That first Sleigh Bells album was quite good. They've never matched it. |
neekafat
06.07.19 | Heard maybe 5 of these :/ |
DoofDoof
06.07.19 | Check a few more then neek |
DoofDoof
06.07.19 | Diva - that is the only SB I listen to, rest of their stuff lost the magic |
zakalwe
06.07.19 | Can’t think of many tbh.
Thee Oh Sees - Ticklish Warrior |
DoofDoof
06.07.19 | Zak you ever say through the entirety of 1 turned up to 11? |
DoofDoof
06.07.19 | Switched the Deftones tune - didn’t realise DE was 2010. The last minute of that track is the best thing they ever put down on tape.
Poor level or research right here |
SitarHero
06.07.19 | I feel like you put the wrong Wildhearts track on here. |
DoofDoof
06.07.19 | Sitar what’s your pick? First three are still my favourite run on that album |
SitarHero
06.07.19 | Diagnosis is my fav on the album but the first three are all gold. |
DoofDoof
06.07.19 | Diagnosis is also one of the best yeah |
SitarHero
06.07.19 | Also Im surprised you have two Anathema tunes on the list. Didn't think they'd be your jam. |
Gyromania
06.07.19 | major props for 1, royal, and full of fire |
DoofDoof
06.07.19 | Sitar - thought you' have noticed there's been a bit of an Anathema appreciation society going in 2019 since Zak signed up as a fan. Been into them since Judgement came out.
Gyro - nice, I spun Royal today and played the last 60 seconds three times in a row. Full of Fire is still a tune that surprises me after a hundred goes, one of their best. |
Gyromania
06.07.19 | yeah royal is an easy top 5 favourite deftones song for me. always felt it was mad underrated. that ending scream is just batshit insane, i love it |
SlothcoreSam
06.07.19 | Some good tunes here Doof. Cloud Nothings would be in my top 10 rock bands of the decade.
Did you ever listen to Royal Headache's album "High"? Great garage rock, some songs off it would fit nicely on this list. |
DoofDoof
06.07.19 | I tried that album out recently and gave it a couple of goes, have it rated a 4 so you could be right - a song from it might have made the cut if I knew it a bit better |
claygurnz
06.07.19 | Nice to see Royal here Doof, that last minute or so is one of my favourite bits of heavy music ever. |
Yotimi
06.08.19 | I can get behind most of these. No thoughts from cloud nothings is my rock song of the decade, but pattern walks rules too |
SandwichBubble
06.09.19 | Some good picks, some gross ones (new Interpol, Drones).
Seeing 4 warms my heart, truly. |
DoofDoof
06.09.19 | I'll never totally understand your total Drones repulsion :D
That Interpol track is the only recent song I like by them in my (shoddy) defence
4 is Sandwich find of the year |
SandwichBubble
06.09.19 | I don't get my newfound Drones/TFS hate either, trust me. Used to really like Drones but nowadays I can't stand them.
And yeah, Rover is one of the better ones off that album. |
