The Top Rock Songs of 2018

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic15 Comments

Welcome to the Top 20 Rock Songs of 2018.  These songs are my favorite songs of the year and were not necessarily played on the radio or even shot up the charts.  They just moved me in some way good or bad!

If you missed the Top Rock Albums of 2018 or the Top Albums of 2018 (that were not Rock), just click on the link and go check them out.

It is time to start the list so here we go…

#20 – “Loading Zones” –  Kurt Vile off the album ‘Bottle it In’:  Kurt’s can be about the mundane and anything that troubles him in life. This is about the horrors of trying to park in the city.  It has such a great little beat to it and some great guitar and such a simple subject that yet turns into something amazing.  The video is great as well.

#19 – “Roll Me Under” – Stone Temple Pilots off the album ‘Stone Temple Pilots (2018)’:  I know I did give the album the best review, but I liked this song.  It had the old STP sound, but it was also Jeff Gutt at his best on the album.  Such a heavy bass and guitar sound,  it was just great.

Myles Kennedy’s first solo album came out a few months back and I am just getting around to reviewing it and I apologize for that.  I had streamed the album and had no intentions of buying it as I wasn’t totally impressed with the release.  That all changed when I was out a week or so ago and came across the vinyl album in the Used section of Lunchbox Records here in Charlotte.  I was stunned to see such a new release sitting in the Used section.

For me, it was a sign that I needed to buy this album and give it another try.  And it was only $15 which is still pricey for used in my book.  However, I still felt it was a sign.  So, I bought it (along with other albums).

And let me tell you I am glad I did for several reasons.  First, the Vinyl copy I bought is a special limited edition release which I was not aware of at the time.  It wasn’t until I got home and started looking through everything.  How do I know it is a limited edition?  Well, it says so on the back cover…

If that wasn’t enough, his signature was on the cover of the album jacket which I completely missed as well as I was just too pumped to see it in the first place…
