Cool and popular Western music classics and hit songs (191–200) that are trending
BlurryPuddle of Mudd
“Blurry” is a smash hit by Puddle of Mudd, a band once hailed as the second coming of Nirvana.
It opens with a somewhat wistful guitar, and the vocals carry a melancholic, plaintive tone that leaves a strong impression.
The singing evokes, in some way, the image of Kurt Cobain.
Common PeoplePulp
If you were following British rock in the ’90s, you surely know this song.
It’s the track that catapulted the previously unknown Pulp into stardom.
The lyrics—about wanting to live like ordinary people—are laced with a characteristically British irony, and combined with the upbeat sound and the mysterious look of the vocalist, Jarvis, it became a huge hit.
La BombaRicky Martin
The melody of the melancholy-tinged prelude is exquisitely beautiful; it’s cool music that marries a lively Latin rhythm with a heart-aching poignancy.
He is a kind-hearted artist who uses the money he earns to support children around the world who are poor and forced to work without access to school, as well as children who have lost their homes to natural disasters and cannot receive an education.
TRIALSStarset
Starset is a rock band from Ohio.
Their appeal lies in an advanced rock sound that blends elements of electro and heavy metal on a foundation of hard rock and alternative rock.
If you’ve got a sharp ear, you might already recognize how cool this band is just from their sound.
Their track “TRIALS” features distinctive electronic tones that evoke a cyberpunk atmosphere, paired with hard-hitting guitar and vocals that leave a strong impression.
If you want to revel in a cool, unapologetically masculine vibe, be sure to check it out.
While I’m AliveSTRFKR
A popular track from the Polish indie pop band STRFKR, it’s a lively dance tune with a slightly nostalgic vibe that evokes MGMT.
Hugely popular across the U.S., they’re in high demand for festivals and live shows, and their Japan tour tickets sell out instantly.
Black Magic WomanSantana
A masterpiece of Latin music in which all the instruments—such as the technical tone of the electric guitar and the rhythms of the conga—interweave exquisitely is Santana’s “Black Magic Woman.” No matter how many years pass, this cool sound never loses its luster.
