Top Rock songs of today

As the indie chart wasn't what we was looking for in terms of music, i then decided to have a look at the rock chart. 


1) Enter shikari - Destabilise 
2) Guns 'n' Roses - Sweet child o' mine 
3) Muse - Feeling good (i have looked at the chart over the past couple of weeks and this song has been near the top on a number of occasions, therefore i decided to take a look at there music video.
4) Goo Goo Dolls - Iris 
5) Motor Head - Ace of spades 
6) 30 seconds to mars - Closer to the edge 
7) The pretty reckless - Make me wanna die 
8) Bon Jovie - Livin' on a prayer
9) Led Zeppelin - Whole lotta love 
10) Evanescene - Bring me to life
11) Linkin park - The catalyst 
12) Muse - Supermassive black hole
13) Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven 
14) Queen - Dont stop me now 
15) My chemical romance - welcome to the black parade

The music video follows a lot of the conventions of a typical rock video, which i was very disappointed with and the video didn't really keep me interested  The video is mainly based on the performance of the band, and the main focus is on the lead singer, when the focus is on the lead singer, close ups are used to create a bond with the artist and the audience. The artist create a angry image with facial expressions, this image is supported by the colour pallet used throughout the entire video, the colours of red and black are used as they represent danger.  

4) Goo Goo Dolls - Iris 

5) Motor Head - Ace of spades 

6) 30 seconds to mars - Closer to the edge 

7) The pretty reckless - Make me wanna die 

8) Bon Jovie - Livin' on a prayer

9) Led Zeppelin - Whole lotta love 

10) Evanescene - Bring me to life

11) Linkin park - The catalyst 

12) Muse - Supermassive black hole

13) Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven 

14) Queen - Dont stop me now 

15) My chemical romance - welcome to the black parade

After taking a look at the chart, it is pretty clear that most of the songs are very popular songs from the past, this could be due to the fact that there has not been any decent new rock songs from our era. This shows that there is a place in the market for something new and something different. This could be done by having a interesting music video that breaks the typical conventions of a music video.
