10 Best Rock Anthems

10. Rock And Roll All Nite - Kiss

When Kiss burst onto the scene in the 70's, their brand of hard rock was one of the biggest spectacles that the rock world had ever seen. With all the members using flashy stage effects and dressed in elaborate costumes and circus makeup, it was pretty easy to not take the band seriously. Once the band released the album Alive!, they found their true magic on the live stage.

"Rock and Roll All Nite" is a song which has the true spirit of the genre at its core, with lyrics that are all centered around having a good time (predictably) all night long. Unlike other entries on this list, this song didn't truly unleash its full potential until its live performance. While the studio version is a standard pop-rock cut, the live version outshines it by giving a more spontaneous feel and the euphoric screams of the audience. This made fans around the world want to listen further and bring that same euphoria to their living rooms.

Before this track, Kiss were a good rock band that lacked the key element that would make them great. After unleashing their sonic assault to the people onstage, "Rock and Roll All Nite" instantaneously became a classic in rock's pantheon.
