That means you’ll find the era-defining “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana on this list, alongside classics like “Baba O’Riley” by the Who and “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin.
My hope is that you’ll know plenty of these songs-even if you haven’t heard them in a while-and that there are still some tracks that will be brand new. As a serious rock fan, I could have easily made this playlist three times as long (and I can almost hear you now: “Why’d you leave off ?”), but I tried to include a solid mix of classic, indie, grunge, and garage tunes. That’s the idea behind this week’s playlist, which highlights a smattering of rock favorites. So if you, like me, often find yourself immersed in a sea of synth and heavy bass while you work out, this week I invite you to get back to the basics-because there’s nothing quite like the powerful vocals and screaming guitar solos of a rock song to get you psyched and energized for the day ahead.
