since we have an electronic music thread it would be sad to not to have a rock music one. i will start this one with something from 2020 (no disrespect for the 60ties 70ties rock). please put some here that you think people should listen to.

Danny Carey's performance on it is so great. If a person's blood doesn't get pumping to hear Jambi, maybe they have no pulse

When I was 17 I bought a cheapo guitar and small amp off a mate.
I went into the local music store and looked for a good guitar music book.
I found a Status Quo book that had all their songs in it.
So I bought one their albums and would sit and play along with the chords to the songs.
Status Quo's Roll over lay down got me into lead guitar.
I must have played that often for about 30 years but never quite got it off to as good as Francis Rossi.
Strangely 10 years ago I just stopped playing guitar.

When I was 17 I had a Hagstrom I guitar (the plastic MOTS version) and a hacked up Stromberg Carlson PA amp running 4 X metal 6L6 tubes into 8 X 10 inch speakers. Status Quo's Pictures of Matchstick Men was on the radio, so I learned that lead riff. It hit just the right notes to be heard several houses away. Deadly in a closed concrete warehouse.
It was my "maximum impact" riff for a while. Smoke on the Water would come later.

one of my definition of rock is: a group consisting of guitars, bass, percussion and a vocals but they can do also instrumental music without vocals.
further when reading: Rock music - Wikipedia i see that it begun with 'rock and roll' which i did not have in my mind when opening this thread more i was thinking of 60ties 70ties rock music as the starting years of the 'rock'. but i guess it would be not a problem to post here rock and roll too.
Here an example of psychedelic rock from 90ties: Korai Orom - 1995 /full album/ - YouTube

Not to venture into extreme metals, I think Saint Vitus -Born Too Late is rock music example I would share.

I guess rock should be heavy, and some of the heaviest is jazz rock fusion funk. Trio Of Doom -- Dark Prince - YouTube
How about some fuzz bass? Frank Zappa-Apostrophe' - YouTube

What is rock? I would like to leave an answer with a seven song collaboration. A five song might corner a person's preference's. Perhaps not. With more and more 'sub' genres being named. Who needs a guidelines, what? This is a rock and roll thread
Play what you think is rock. That sounds good to me.
