Walk This WayAerosmith43rank/position
Aerosmith is a five-piece rock band that was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and continues to have a profound influence on artists around the world.
Their single “Walk This Way,” released on August 28, 1975, features a famous guitar riff that many people have likely heard at least once.
Because there are many fast lines relative to the drum beat—such as unison phrases with the guitar and other striking licks—careful attention is required.
As a globally renowned rock classic, it’s a rock tune that every bassist would benefit from being able to play.
LaylaDerek and the Dominos44rank/position
This commercial showcases Mitsubishi Motors’ commitment to supporting adventure, depicted through cars racing across different eras and landscapes.
It conveys that achieving performance that supports adventure requires bold challenges on the development side as well, and that the overlap of these two efforts results in a comfortable yet powerful drive.
The music that further accentuates the strength expressed in the visuals is “Layla” by Derek and the Dominos.
With its guitar phrases and rhythms, the song conveys an overall wild atmosphere and evokes a sense of determination to push forward.
Where the Streets Have No NameU245rank/position
U2 is a rock band from Ireland.
They are a globally renowned rock band and hold the record for the most Grammy Awards won by a group artist in history.
Their song “Where the Streets Have No Name” is one of their hits and was released as the opening track of their fifth album, The Joshua Tree.
With its refreshingly bright melody, it’s a great pick for those who enjoy clean, understated rock—be sure to give it a listen.
paprika46rank/position
Paprika is a song composed by Kenshi Yonezu and performed—singing and dancing—by Foorin.
It’s a familiar number for expressive activities in nursery schools and kindergartens.
The lively music and choreography are perfect for enjoying with children.
While it’s fun to learn the choreography precisely, even having one- and two-year-olds hop along to the beat is adorable.
If you’re presenting it for an audience, you might consider imitating Foorin and preparing costumes with an Asian-inspired flair.
More Than WordsExtreme47rank/position
Extreme set themselves apart from typical rock bands and heavy metal by gaining popularity with a sound that incorporated elements of funk.
Formed in Boston in 1985, the band is known for its diverse musicality that fuses hard rock with funk and pop.
Speaking of their signature song, it would be the acoustic ballad released in March 1991.
It topped the Billboard Hot 100 and became a major hit worldwide, reaching number one in countries such as Belgium and Canada.
There’s a memorable story that guitarist Nuno Bettencourt drew inspiration from a melody that came to him naturally while sitting on a porch at dusk.
The song carries a moving message about the importance of showing love through actions, not just words.
It’s a classic that’s perfect for creating a gentle yet uplifting mood.
Open ArmsJourney48rank/position
This is a 2001 commercial for the Elgrand, Nissan’s flagship minivan.
It highlights the powerful performance of its 3.5-liter V6 engine, featuring striking, American-inspired visuals such as riding alongside a cruiser motorcycle and a cowboy on horseback crossing in front of the car.
The background music is “Open Arms” by the American rock band Journey, a beautiful rock ballad known for its grand sound, which was also chosen as the theme song for the 2004 film Umizaru.
The TrooperIron Maiden49rank/position
A representative band known for bringing the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, born in the UK in the 1980s, to worldwide attention, Iron Maiden created a new current in metal with their music.
This track, included on their fourth album, Piece of Mind, features an arrangement that charges forward like a battlefield—perfectly matching the vibe of its Japanese title, “A Battle Without Tomorrow” (“Aces High” style urgency), and really gets your adrenaline pumping.
Iron Maiden’s trademark palm-muted guitar riffs became a standard for metal riffs and influenced bands across the globe.
With its heavy, powerful sound and strikingly beautiful high-tone vocals, it’s a quintessential metal classic.
