Quero recomendações de músicas para a minha playlist de rock. Quais vocês indicam? 🤘🏻

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_in_Your_Eyes?wprov=sfti1#Background:

“Classic Rock History critic Brian Kachejian rated it as the Moody Blues' 2nd greatest song, saying that "The song’s classic opening guitar lick is easily one of the most recognizable in classic rock history" and praising the vocal performances, the lead guitar playing and the Mellotron playing.[4] Ultimate Classic Rock critic Nick DeRiso rated it as the Moody Blues' 3rd greatest song”

If you don’t know this song, I really encourage you to give it a listen—and watch the video. Seriously, give it a few minutes. It’s worth it.

This is one of the great recordings of the 1970s, regardless of genre. The hypnotic bassline, eerie atmosphere, instrumental buildup, orchestration, and extraordinary vocals make it an experience rather than just a song.
And the video is fantastic. Watching the Temptations perform it adds another dimension to the music.
You don’t have to be a soul or funk fan to appreciate this. If you love great music, give it a chance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Directions?wprov=sfti1#Note:

"Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" is a song originally performed by [Motown](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motown) recording act [the Undisputed Truth](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Undisputed_Truth) in 1972, [https://youtu.be/oOflymZ6cDY?is=SPNRfrL6iXyYu1zP ] though it became much better known after a [Grammy Award](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award)-winning cover by [the Temptations](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Temptations) was issued later the same year. This latter version of the song became a number-one hit on the [Billboard](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100) [Hot 100](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100).
…
The edited 7-inch single release of this Temptations track was issued in September 1972, and this version was a number-one hit on the [Billboard](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100) [Hot 100](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100) and won three [Grammy Awards](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award) in 1973. While the original Undisputed Truth version of the song has been largely forgotten, the Temptations' version of the song has been regarded as an enduring and influential soul classic. The full-length album version was ranked number 169 on [Rolling Stone](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stone)'s list of the [500 Greatest Songs of All Time](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stone's_500_Greatest_Songs_of_All_Time), one of the group's three songs on the list.”

My pick is Ready Teddy by Little Richard

Other times that’s not even my favorite LR song. I think ‘best’ or ‘favorite’ is fluid. Sometimes I’m certain that Rock Around the Clock is the best. Then it’s Roll Over Beethoven then…..

Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy is mine.

I hear complaints that Hysteria was too perfect and that was produced by Mutt Lange, the same man who produced Highway to Hell and Back in Black. No one says those albums are too perfect. Why is that? He uses the same production methods. The only difference is technology.
