It\u2019s the perfect time of year to think about what our imaginary walk-up songs would be. Here are four epic rock anthems that I think would do just the trick if you want to rattle your competitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI Love Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll\u201d by Joan Jett &amp; The Blackhearts<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps one of the most epic rock songs ever, \u201cI Love Rock N\u2019 Roll\u201d boasts a pretty simple message: Rock \u2018n\u2019 roll is where it\u2019s at. You might be too distracted by the iconic chorus to notice, but it\u2019s also a bit of a love story.<\/p>\n<p>The song starts when the singer notices a cute kid dancing by the record machine and ends with what can be perceived as a late-night rendezvous. In addition to this track, <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/on-the-charts-44-years-ago-joan-jett-and-the-blackhearts-kicked-off-a-seven-week-peak-at-no-1-with-this-legendary-tune\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Joan Jett &amp; The Blackhearts<\/a>\u2018 \u201cBad Reputation\u201d could also be a good choice for a walk-up anthem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThunderstruck\u201d by AC\/DC<\/p>\n<p>The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have famously adopted this song, so it\u2019s really no surprise that it makes this list. There\u2019s definitely a reason that cheering along to this track has become a favorite tradition for Dallas sports fans. \u201cThunderstruck\u201d is simple, yet powerful, and definitely a badass choice if you\u2019re stepping up to a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t Bring Me Down\u201d by Electric Light Orchestra<\/p>\n<p>I mean, come on. This song is a classic. Apparently, it\u2019s supposed to be about a girl who thinks she\u2019s too good for her partner. Lyrically, that totally makes sense. However, when I hear this song, I think of it more as a \u201cyou can\u2019t bring me down\u201d type of anthem.<\/p>\n<p>You got me runnin\u2019, goin\u2019 out of my mind<br \/>You got me thinkin\u2019 that I\u2019m wastin\u2019 my time<br \/>Don\u2019t bring me down<br \/>No, no, no, no, no<br \/>Ooh-ooh-hoo<br \/>I\u2019ll tell you once more before I get off the floor<br \/>Don\u2019t bring me down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHold The Line\u201d by Toto<\/p>\n<p>It can be a challenge to decipher what this song is actually about, but it does have a couple of sick guitar licks. I think when it comes down to it, a strong guitar part is probably more important walk-up material-wise. Steve Lukather came up with the riff that plays after the second chorus. In addition to helping found Toto, Lukather has played on other projects like Michael Jackson\u2019s Thriller.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by: Atlantic Records\/Michael Ochs Archives\/Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s baseball season, and you know what that means.
