10 Best Rock Anthems

The rock scene was still on the alternative rock kick when the 90's reached its mid-period. With grunge since passing by, the rest of the rock scene began to spread out to include many eclectic genres. Out of all these new styles, the time was right to give the world a dose of old-school rock and roll, and a few lads from Manchester rose to the challenge.

Oasis's sporadic rise to power was one of the biggest cultural phenomenons in the 90's, and it all started with their undisputed anthem "Rock and Roll Star." Opening with a guitar riff blast, the song hits you right between the eyes as the guitars come in like a sonic tidal wave. The song is based around standard rock chords, but the brashness of the production makes these typical sounds feel new and exciting once again.

Even with the vast instrumentation, Liam Gallagher's vocal has some of the best attitude in the genre, with a sound reminiscent of John Lennon if he grew up in the punk scene of the 70's. By calling their shot at becoming stars, Oasis forged ahead and became one of the biggest musical sensations that the 90's had ever seen.
