Category :Songs

Since the year 2000 a new wave of rock songs have come to life. This article is a showcase of the best rock love songs of the 2000s.

Ballads in rock music have been hugely popular since rock music came into being. Drawing inspiration from folk and blues ballads, rock ballads came into prominence in the 60s and ever since have become an integral part of mainstream. In every decade ballads have kept evolving. In the early years of rock, ballads took shape with the use of acoustic instruments. The dawn of the 80s changed the ballad scene dramatically. The use of electric instruments along with acoustic instruments became prominent in the 80s.

Hair metal became iconic in the 80s with hair ballads receiving significant airplay on music channels. Many hair bands earned considerable success with their brand of rock love songs. Power ballads and acoustic rock ballads became insanely popular in the 80s and this trend continued until the early 90.

The grunge and alternative revolution in the 90s put the brakes on rock ballads. While it seemed rock ballads had taken a back seat, the arrival of the new millennium changed it all. With the year 2000 came a fresh new sound in ballads. Many modern rock bands that emerged in the 2000s embellished acoustic instruments with electric instruments to come up with a new sound that defined rock love songs. The strong emotional quotient in modern rock love songs has been praised by music critics. The new breed of balladry that has emerged in the 2000s has appealed to listeners from different genres.

A significant number of modern rock bands are influenced by diverse musical genres, and it’s the influences that have been amalgamated with the modern rock sound that have created a whole new soundscape in rock balladry. While the sound in rock love songs has changed a great deal since the 60s what remains rooted is the spirit and soul of ballads. The 2000s will see a number of new genres and subgenres in music emerge. What lies ahead in the realms of rock remains to be seen.

The space below showcases a comprehensive list of the best rock love songs of the 2000s.
