Cool and famous Western songs that are all the rage: classic hits and popular tracks (41–50)
Don’t Look Back In AngerOasis
Often called the modern-day Beatles, Oasis have so many hits that it’s hard to choose just one—but in the sense of a song you never get tired of no matter how much you listen, I picked this one.
What I feel when I listen to Oasis is that they have a very simple appeal: you just think, “What a good song,” and you just want to sing along.
Although they’re originally a British band, they’re one of the groups that achieved worldwide success.
CenturiesFall Out Boy
Fall Out Boy is a rock band from Illinois.
Known for a sound rooted in punk—such as pop punk and punk rock—they were on hiatus for a time, but are now active at the forefront of the punk rock scene.
Among their works, the especially cool track is Centuries.
The energy is high from the very first verse, and it ramps up even more in the chorus—an outstandingly hot and stylish number.
Smells Like Teen SpiritNirvana
I picked an ultra-famous, iconic song.
It’s the kind of track that always shows up in Western music features, and anyone who likes Western music above a certain age can sing it.
It’s cool, it’s a classic, and it’s hard to believe this song came out nearly 30 years ago.
If you’re thinking of starting electric guitar, this might be a great song to begin with.
Uptown FunkMark Ronson
Here’s the ultimate funk number by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.
When it comes to funk, there’s definitely that physically cool vibe guys bring to it.
In Japan, you can hear it in lots of places like commercials, so you’ve probably heard it at least once.
Why not let yourself get carried away by this groovy beat?
Break Free ft. ZeddAriana Grande
Global songstress Ariana Grande—her coolness goes without saying, but the sheer impact of her collaboration with DJ Zedd, “Break Free,” is tremendous.
That chorus melody is unbelievably memorable, and paired with the four-on-the-floor dance beat, it creates an ultra-danceable atmosphere.
Born for ThisRoyal Deluxe
Singer-songwriter Tyrone Wells, based in Washington.
Sam Getz, the guitarist and vocalist of the alternative rock band Welshly Arms.
Jimmy Weaver, who plays bass in Welshly Arms.
Together, they form the four-person alternative rock project Royal Deluxe.
Their track “Born for This” is one of their coolest works—powerful and compelling alternative rock.
Heat ft. GunnaChris Brown
Chris Brown has gained worldwide popularity with his overwhelming dance performances and steady vocals.
He was hugely active in the 2000s and continues to lead the R&B scene today.
He’s released countless cool tracks, but one I especially recommend is “Heat” ft.
Gunna.
Featuring rapper Gunna, the track creates a very cool vibe with Gunna’s sleek rap and Chris Brown’s sexy vocals.
