The 10 Greatest Classic Rock Songs That Completely Define the Genre
From Derek and the Dominoes' "Layla" to The Beatles "A Day in the Life," these classic rock songs have come to define the genre's legacy.
Few genres have had such an enormous influence on culture, art, and fashion as classic rock has. In the 1960s, bands like The Beatles and The Rollling Stones dominated the airwaves and represented the vastly changing culture of the time. They represented rebellion, creativity, and a longing for freedom that was expressed through the counterculture of the time. Many of these bands created some of the most stunning and unique music in history. Bands in the 70s and 80s continued this with more stadium-orientated music, while embodying the liberating feel-good spirit of the genre.
