Are you a fan of rock music? Well, here is a list of five bands the world has had the pleasure of listening to in the 20th century and some of the singles you may want to try. Most alternative rock lovers would find it hard to choose only five out of the tens of awesome rock bands but this basically sums it up for you.
Three Days Grace: For at least eight years, this band has needed zero introductions to the world due to the fact that they have been able to release albums after albums of nothing but top chart music. Three days grace, formerly known as Groundswell, was formed in Ontario Canada in the year 1992 and was re-branded in the year 1997 when the band regrouped after a break up. Seeing as the band is not unfamiliar with the music industry and knows ways to use their musical talents, it never fails to deliver to their devoted fans. Songs like Life Starts Now, Bully, Animal I Have Become and I Hate Everything About You have brought out the reality, passion, talent and effort the band has put into their work.
Linkin Park: Over the years, with their incredible music this band has inspired statements like, “there can be no rock without Linkin Park” or “Rock equals Linkin Park”. This alternative rock band from California rose to fame after the release of their first album Hybrid Theory, in the year 2000. Their music and lyrics have made them one of the greatest bands of all time.
30 Seconds to Mars: 30STM as it is commonly known has been around for fifteen years and released six albums inclusive of three extended plays. The most amazing and unique thing about this band is that unlike other musicians, they put a lot of heart and soul into their lyrics and music. The brain behind the band, Jared Leto, carefully goes over every beat, lyric and video to make sure that it is what their fans want. The band has a devoted group of fans and every member of the band appreciates every one of those fans through their songs and plays.
Breaking Benjamin: This American band was formed by Benjamin Burnley, the band’s lead vocalist, in 1998 and has been winning the hearts of many alternative rock lovers since then. Their single “So cold” stayed in the top twenty of the charts for more than thirty weeks in a row. They are loved for the passion in their lyrics and the ability to show a completely different view of the world through their music. Songs like Sooner or Later, What Lies Beneath and Had Enough have been said to touch your heart.
Coldplay: This band’s unique, classical style has kept them on top for years. It is the only band from England that has managed to win the hearts of millions of fans for over a decade.
