“Hey Siri, play the Dive Bar playlist.”

The sound of rock has changed a hundred times since the late '60s, but its essence—cranking it up and finding salvation through sound—is pretty much the same. From the freedom salvos of the Summer of Love through the alternative revolution to now, what follows is rock chiseled to weather the winds of time, guitar firmly at its center. We regularly update this playlist. If you like a song, add it to your library.

The classic rock songbook would be a lot thinner if it weren't for Bad Company. One of the biggest acts of the '70s, the supergroup had two core strengths: expertly crafted hooks and Paul Rodgers' bluesy pipes. “Feel Like Makin' Love” opens as an acoustic meditation on desire before bursting into pleas and power chords; this deft balance of self-reflection and raw passion also informs the twangy ballad “Shooting Star.” Powered by the cool pulse of New Wave synths, 1979's “Rock ‘N' Roll Fantasy” shows Bad Company's ability to embrace pop's ecstatic energy.

Sing along to your favorite classic rock songs.
