Except some parts of the solos, they are all kind of simple songs with simple lyrics.

Everyone knows them all, whether they love or hate rock music.

Why a song catching your attention from a band/artist you don't necessarily like?

*Riffs?

*Melodies?

*Singing?

*Lyrics?

*The whole feel of the song?*

*Overplayed in media?
