Rolling Stone elege as 200 melhores músicas de rock do século 21

O rock do século 21 ganhou diferentes formatos, misturou influências e abriu espaço para artistas de várias gerações. Para reunir alguns dos principais lançamentos desse período, a revista americana Rolling Stone publicou uma lista com as 200 melhores músicas de rock lançadas a partir dos anos 2000.

A seleção passeia por diferentes vertentes do gênero, incluindo indie rock, pop punk, nu-metal, rap rock e até faixas de artistas ligados à música pop que incorporam elementos do rock. Entre os nomes presentes estão bandas consagradas, como Foo Fighters, Radiohead e The Strokes, além de artistas mais recentes, como Olivia Rodrigo, Wet Leg e Geese.

Segundo a publicação, a curadoria procurou evitar a repetição de artistas para ampliar a diversidade do ranking. A regra, porém, teve algumas exceções para nomes considerados importantes na história recente do gênero, como Radiohead, The Strokes, Foo Fighters e Arctic Monkeys.

A lista também chama atenção pela mistura de estilos e gerações. O nu-metal aparece com Linkin Park e System of a Down, enquanto o pop punk é representado por bandas como Green Day, Blink-182 e My Chemical Romance. Já artistas como JAY-Z, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift e Lady Gaga mostram como a influência do rock ultrapassou as fronteiras tradicionais do gênero.

Quais são as três primeiras colocadas?

O primeiro lugar ficou com “Maps”, lançada em 2003 pelo Yeah Yeah Yeahs. A música da banda nova-iorquina lidera a seleção e é seguida por outros dois grandes sucessos dos anos 2000.

Na segunda posição aparece “Seven Nation Army”, do The White Stripes, também lançada em 2003. A faixa se tornou um dos grandes hinos do rock contemporâneo e ganhou reconhecimento para além do público da banda.

O terceiro lugar ficou com “Mr. Brightside”, do The Killers, lançada em 2004. A música é um dos maiores sucessos do grupo e segue presente em playlists e apresentações ao vivo.

Entre as dez primeiras também estão nomes como Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, Radiohead, Foo Fighters e Olivia Rodrigo. A cantora aparece com “Good 4 U”, de 2021, na quarta posição, mostrando a presença de uma nova geração na seleção.
