Cool and acclaimed Western music classics and popular songs in the streets (91–100)
Johnny B. GoodeChuck Berry
A big hit by Chuck Berry.
I think this song is packed with the essentials of rock ’n’ roll.
Chuck Berry, even called the god of the guitar, has truly captivating rock ’n’ roll guitar.
The protagonist plays this song in the movie Back to the Future, and that’s famous as well.
Basket CaseGreen Day
If there’s a kid who wants to start a band—wants to play punk rock—this is the first band and song I’d teach them.
This is what a cool band and a cool song are supposed to be—like a textbook example.
It was a huge hit back then and it’s still popular today.
An eternal punk band—that’s the kind of tagline that suits them.
Cool and widely acclaimed Western music masterpieces and popular songs (101–110)
The MiddleJimmy Eat World
A quintessential emo rock band, Jimmy Eat World delivers an upbeat rock number.
The endlessly refreshing, pop-tinged melody is striking, and the song’s appeal lies in its crisp, fast-paced guitar-driven rock feel.
CrystalisedThe xx
This is a popular track from the English trio The xx’s first album.
They’re hugely popular worldwide now, aren’t they? Their headlining performance at Fuji Rock 2017 was absolutely stunning.
Jamie from The xx has truly incredible sound.
If you get the chance, give Jamie xx’s album a listen as well.
What Do You Mean?Justin Bieber
It’s Justin Bieber’s 2015 smash hit produced by Skrillex.
The song brings back a hint of the younger, early-days Justin Bieber, yet it has a very cool, distinctive vibe.
Bad HabitsEd Sheeran
Ed Sheeran is a British singer-songwriter who enjoys worldwide popularity.
Many people probably associate him with the image of his 2017 release “Shape of You,” don’t they? “Bad Habits” is his new track, released in June 2021.
Inspired by vampires, it features a striking sound that incorporates synth-pop, a trend of 2021.
While synth-pop was mainstream in the 1980s, the song doesn’t feel particularly dated; instead, it comes together with an overall stylish and cool vibe.
Addicted to YouShakira
Shakira’s voice, which evokes delicious water with a crystalline hardness, is very charming to listen to.
However, when she joined a choir in elementary school, her voice was considered too powerful and she was dismissed for sounding like a goat.
Even so, her rich individuality, talent, and voice later transformed her into an artist who captivated many people.
