Welcome to our weekly alphabet themed rock post! In this post we will talk about a specific letter of the alphabet and associate it with all things rock music!

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

This is a band I had not heard of before, but looking at their 6.2 million monthly listeners I suspect that is a me problem! I really like their chilled rock approach, its the sort of music you could introduce to people who don’t like rock and they’d enjoy. The song is incredibly well crafted too!

Young The Giant – Cough Syrup (All Rights Are Retained By Young The Giant)

Song

On the flipside to the band above, this is a song I have heard many many times. Yet its a band that always slips my mind probably due to the weird name. However this songs drive and feel good nature never fails to get me singing along and with a massive smile on my face too!

Bachman-Turner Overdrive – You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet (All Rights Are Retained By Bachman-Turner Overdrive)

Rocker

A 40 year long career and one of the best guitarists ever. Playing a crucial role in making Alcatrazz a success, and having over 21 solo albums. Just listen to the work he does on this track! Sublime.

Yngwie Malmsteen – Black Star (All Rights Are Retained By Yngwie Malmsteen)

Hi guys.

Would you be interested in interviewing or reviewing this artist? https://christianvegh.com/bio

He’s a great guitarist and has played with, and been praised by, some big name artists like Dick Wagner, Joe Bonamassa and Ted Nugent. He has a new album coming out and he was at the Grammies recently.

If you want to set up an interview, let me know. I know him and can set something up with his manager.

Keep up the rocking’ good work!

Claudio

BTO is one of the best. I don’t like Randy Bachman’s “Short People” for obvi reasons. But, did you know that Tal Bachman is Randy’s boy?
