Rock was the most popular genre of music in the U.S. and much of the Western world from the 1950s to the 2010s.

- "I Love Rock 'N Roll" (1981) — Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. So what if it's a cover? Joan Jett & the Blackhearts own this song with every ounce of their being.
- "Born to Run" (1975) — Bruce Springsteen. If "At night, we ride through the mansions of glory/In suicide machines" doesn't sound like a typical rock lyric, it's because this ode to love, cars, and unfulfilled American dreams is anything but typical.
- "Starman" (1972) — David Bowie. David Bowie's "Starman" is a soaring wonder, a sparkly tale about an alien communicating with Earth's children via radio (and phone!).
- "Once in a Lifetime" (1980) — Talking Heads. An ode to disassociation, the Talking Heads' signature song is carried by Tina Weymouth's hypnotic rubber-band bassline and (her husband) Chris Frantz's shuddery beats.
