  • The Doors: One of the most iconic American rock bands of the 1960s, The Doors, led by the enigmatic Jim Morrison, created a distinctive, psychedelic sound. Their music blended rock with jazz, blues, and classical influences, delivering timeless hits like “Light My Fire,” “Riders on the Storm,” and “Break on Through (To the Other Side).” Morrison’s poetic lyrics and unpredictable performances, along with Ray Manzarek’s signature organ sound, made them legends in rock history.
  • Def Leppard: Pioneers of the new wave of British heavy metal, Def Leppard became one of the biggest rock bands of the 1980s. With multi-platinum albums like Pyromania and Hysteria, they crafted a polished, radio-friendly sound combining hard rock with glam metal. Hits like “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Photograph,” and “Love Bites” defined the era and made them one of the best-selling rock bands of all time.
  • Depeche Mode: Though more rooted in electronic and synth-pop, Depeche Mode’s dark, industrial sound and anthemic hits like “Enjoy the Silence” and “Personal Jesus” earned them rock credibility. Their unique blend of moody electronic music and gothic themes has influenced alternative rock and electronic bands alike.
  • Dire Straits: Known for their smooth, laid-back rock style, Dire Straits gained global fame with hits like “Sultans of Swing” and “Money for Nothing.” Led by Mark Knopfler’s virtuoso guitar playing and storytelling lyrics, they were one of the most commercially successful bands of the late 1970s and 1980s.
