Alter Bridge: 10 Best Hard Rock Songs

9. Show Me A Leader

This spot on the list went to a showdown between 'Show Me A Leader' and 'Blackbird'. Although 'Blackbird' is arguably a better song, it doesn't possess as many hard rock conventions as the opening song from 'The Last Hero', which is why it doesn't make the list.

'The Last Hero' is the band's fifth studio record and was released in 2016. This album saw the band transitioning away from their heavier, hard rock roots in general but certain songs such as 'Show Me A Leader' remained fully in tact with the band's unapolagetic core style.

Where other songs such as 'My Champion' bragged more upbeat arena rock vibes, other songs such as the one in question remained fully on board with a hard rock focus, making it a fantastic song. The distinct approach from this song also makes it a stand out and easily recognisable highlight from Alter Bridge's more recent releases.
