I know I’m growing older when the average age of my favorite rock songs is 45 years old! Through the years, rock has often served as my rock not only during tough and changing times but also when simply working, driving, and recreating. Good rock stands the test of time (is “Born to Be Wild” the greatest rock song ever or what?) though sadly I don’t think they are making any more of it so hold onto what you got, throw it in a bag, and rock on! Here are some of my favorite rock songs including classic rock, hard rock, lite rock, and singer-songwriter. It’s another rock grab bag, people (quarantine edition). Enjoy!
