10 Perfect Rock Music Songs Of The 2010s

10. From Can To Can't - Sound City Players

Tireless rock 'n' roller Dave Grohl moved from our speakers to our screens in 2013, with his feature-length documentary Sound City. The film charts the history of legendary recording studio Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, LA, and features just about everyone who's anyone in the contemporary rock scene.

Needless to say, you can't put Grohl in a studio with other musicians and not expect something to happen and, alongside his documentary, everyone's favourite goateed multi-hyphenate produced Sound City: Real to Reel, an album drawing on industry talents past and present, and running the gamut from classic to contemporary rock and all the niches in-between.

While arguably every track on the record is deserving of a place on pub jukeboxes the world over, the highest highlight is From Can to Can't, a melancholic yet aggressive power ballad featuring Grohl, Corey Taylor, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen and Kyuss's Scott Reeder. A stand-out effort from an already impressive record, the track elicits the best of Taylor's vocals this side of Slipknot, brings back the iconic EBow (from its late '70s/early '80s heyday), and features a blistering solo from Nielsen, on Grohl's own guitar no less!
