The best rock hits according to artificial intelligence

Over the past decades many of the songs achieved cult status. Over the years, various rock bands have released such different, yet equally charming songs that have steadily climbed to the top of the charts and penetrated into the hearts of listeners... Thanks to this, today we have no shortage of good music when we turn on our playlists. And yet...

Still, not all of the songs can be confidently called classic rock hits. And every music lover will have his own opinion on this. But what if you asked not a human but... an artificial intelligence for its opinion? Which of the greatest songs in the history of rock would it include, say, in the top 3? Well: that's exactly what foreign music lovers decided to do, turning to an internationally known chatbot! The result surprised many: using data from the World Wide Web, the AI compiled the following selection of hits...

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (1975)

A composition that never seems to lose its relevance and freshness of sound. As proof, it can still be heard on the radio waves, and the biopic about the lives of the participants Queen and Freddy in particular was given a similar title! By the way: the film was extremely successful and revived a lively debate about the right thing to do: "Bohemian." or "Bohemian Rhapsody"? By the way: what do you think? It will be interesting to read your detailed, reasoned comments, but for now, a little about the song itself.

This 1975 composition is considered to be the most famous one in Queen's repertoire, and some critics even call it the peak of their creativity. The song differs significantly from everything the band had done before - the sound combines rock and operaAnd the lyrics are intriguing in their mystery...

"Mom, life was just beginning.
But I'm no longer alive, I've ruined everything.
Mom, oooh...
I didn't want you to cry.
If I'm not back by this time tomorrow
Keep acting like nothing happened..."

To this day, music lovers around the world are trying to unravel the meaning behind this musical masterpiece. However - the lyrics of the song are so complex and mysteriousthat it is unlikely to ever be done. What really complicates the task is the fact that the Freddie Mercury preferred not to say much about his songs - he believed that everyone should interpret the tracks in their own way. And that's what he was cool about!

Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (1975)

The AI has not ignored the iconic kings psychedelic rockor rather, their famous composition "Wish You Were Here"! The song is so beautiful that to this day music lovers listen to it with pleasure almost every month (or even more often): the sound, the lyrics, the mood - in this track every second has been thought out to the smallest detail. However, it is not surprising, because for Pink Floyd themselves "I wish you were here." was never just a song...

In fact, it's a tribute to their former comrade Syd Barrettwho made a tremendous contribution to the development of the band and its signature psychedelic style. Alas, he himself was not happy about the growing fame - rather the opposite: he was terribly stressed. His unstable mental state became even more precarious when the number of concerts increased dramatically. The other guys had to say goodbye to Sid because (in their own words):

"Without him there would be no Pink Floyd, but with him the band had no future either..."

Roger Waters composed this text while thinking of Sid. David Gilmour confessed that every time he played "Wish You Were Here" he remembered Sid. This song seems to have Barrett all over it...

"We walk on the same ground.
And what did we find?
Old fears...
I wish you were here..."

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (1971)

The last song chosen by the AI seems like a flawless conclusion to this little top. Cult "Stairway to Heaven" has such a gigantic weight in the rock world that it is hard to overestimate this song. It is probably the biggest, most successful and also the most scandalous hit Led Zeppelin. And yes: the lyrical stuffing of the composition is no less mysterious than in the case of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

"One lady says all that glitters is gold,
To Heaven Buying Stairs.
She knows for sure that once she gets there,
In a word, she'll take everything she came for..."

In the decades since its release, "Stairway to Heaven" has become surrounded by a great many legends, rumors, and even scandals - in particular, there has already been a trial in our day about aInvasion and plagiarism (That's another topic, though). And Plant himself has repeatedly stated that of all Zeppelin's songs "Stairway to Heaven" is his least favorite.

Conclusion

This is such a great selection we have AI. It's safe to say that the artificial intelligence has pretty good taste in music (thing)! What do you think? And which songs could be replaced in this top? We'd love to read your comments. In the meantime, that's all for now.
