This will include a band with that letter, a song as well as a rocker. There is an accompanying playlist so that the selected songs can be enjoyed! Click the Spotify link below and remember to save it!

Band

What do you get when you combine Eddie’s technical wizardry on the on the guitar and David Lee Roths showmanship? The defining sound of the 1980’s and Van Halen!

Van Halen – Why Can’t This Be Love (All Right Are Retained By Van Halen)

Song

This is a grungy, groove driven hit that highlights Stone Temple Pilots alt and classic rock credentials. It has a distinctive riff and lyrics that to this day make it a cryptic favourite for many!

Stone Temple Pilots – Vasoline (All Right Are Retained By Stone Temple Pilots)

Rocker

Bringing dark romanticism to rock Ville Valo prioneered the love metal subgenre with band HIM. With haunting voice and a gothic style he has become an icon in his native Finland.

HIM – Join Me In Death (All Right Are Retained By HIM)

Um…just want to point out that Diamond Dave wasn’t the singer on Why Can’t This Be Love. 🙂

STP didn’t get enough credit, in my opinion. I think they were categorized as grunge when they were more of a rock band, and I think that hurt their marketing. Still, great band.
