![]() ![]() The fifth single off of Rated R, the song is pretty damn good. I know, this song isn’t exactly named “Rockstar” but imagine I left a RiRi and Slash track off of this list. He’s full of talent and this song shows his chops, with a warble reminiscent of Young Thug lets hope Duki doesn’t fizzle out like so many rappers out of Latin America tend to. It was really only a matter of time before trap really made waves in Latin America, and 2017 was huge for artists like Duki. Duki’s “Rockstar” pops off over a pretty standard trap beat but it absolutely bangs. Easily the biggest surprise of this list was a rapper out of Argentina. Rising stardom was no match for the curse of painfully average songs named “Rockstar.”Īt least this track is thematically different than most of the others, and as far as mediocre country music goes, it’s pretty good! It has a place somewhere on your BBQ playlist, or maybe saved on your mom’s Satellite Radio favorites… but in the end, it’s pretty forgettable. Hailed as, “ Country Music’s Next Rising Star” Dylan Schneider is a young guy whose name will probably be kicked around a ton in 2018 (don’t forget who put you on). “Every word of them Rolling Stones/Stacy’s mom had it going on/Lived Three Doors Down I can see her now/Her daughter had a heart that was wild and free/If you Blink 182 then you’d miss me and her” You know those guys in school who spoke in their own language because literally, everything they said was a reference? Yeah, well imagine that but in a country-pop song about rock music. A pair of Bon Jovi knockoffs stuck with that same tired sound, their 2015 “Rockstar” is uninspired and probably not worth your time. Nelson are a couple of guys that should probably heed that advice. ![]() It was the rawest we would ever get with rock icons, they were vicious, flamboyant, wicked talented, and as much as I would love to see the AC/DC tour fronted by Axl Rose, at some point these guys need to hang it up. Having a soft spot of 80s hair metal is pretty on brand for me. Maybe Dappy should just stick to politics. ![]() Now, I’m no grime expert, but the fact that Dappy could pull legendary Queen guitarist, Brian May probably means this track bangs, right? Unfortunately, that’s very far from the truth. But what’s better than the movie is it’s actually amazing 26(!!) song soundtrack, where you can find a serious Skepta deep cut, some Drake, a little Nicki Minaj, and our good friend Dappy. Brian MayĪhh, who could forget the British cinema classic Street Dance 2 that boasts a whopping 47% on Rotten Tomatoes? Surely not me. Also, after a little bit of research, I found out that they performed this song on a later season of Glee, so that’s how you know it’s some really groundbreaking stuff. It sounds a lot like what I would imagine the sad lovechild of Ben Folds and Owl City sounds like after three glasses of chardonnay. ![]() I try really hard to keep an open mind diving into new music but this track is rough. It took several attempts to get through this one. So without any more fanfare, here’s the official, unequivocal, and definitive ranking of songs named “Rockstar.” 10. Now that Post Malone’s ‘rockstar’ seems to have run its course on the radio, it can be placed forever in the canon alongside all other rockstars singing about rockstars.
