We’re going to get a bit more specific with this 2021 Rock Wrap Up. If we learned anything this year it’s that rock ‘n’ roll isn’t going anywhere. Some bands have been making music for over five decades, some are releasing songs posthumously beyond the grave, and some are just beginning to release songs that are carrying the new generation of rock. Here are ten of our favorite rock songs that were released in 2021:

“Troubles a Comin” – The Rolling Stones

“Don’t Back Down” – Mammoth WVH

“Waiting On A War” – Foo Fighters
