Easy
A dozen anthems the bar can finish for you, caught from the very first power chord.
Riffs, drums and a first chord — name the rock guessable songs before the guitar finishes the thought.
What they are
Rock gives itself away on the first hit: the chord, the snare, the bend of a solo. A tenth of a second is often enough to tell a Marshall from a Fender, a stadium anthem from a garage cut. Your job is to name the track before the vocal gets a word in.
The 672-track pool crosses every era of rock, so a round can land on an arena anthem, a grunge growl or a three-chord stomper. The tone does most of the telling — a fuzz pedal, a clean arpeggio, a double-kick.
It's a Heardle-style song guessing game where the clues are riffs, tone and the first hit of the drums, not the lyric.
Turn the dial
The dial walks you off the singalong hits toward the bootleg-era deep cuts nobody covers.
A dozen anthems the bar can finish for you, caught from the very first power chord.
One step down and twenty-five second-string singles join the pile — still loud, just less famous.
At fifty, the album side does the talking: a lone guitar tone has to place the record.
That same fifty, now decided by the amp buzz before the drummer even counts in.
No riff, no beat — just the tenth-of-a-second hiss before the song starts, and the fifty wait.
Game highlights
Rock's 672 tracks give themselves away in the tone — a fuzz pedal, a clean Strat or a double-kick names the era before the vocal can. When one genre isn't enough, the song guesser has the whole catalog under one roof.
Train the ear
Every player has a fingerprint — the fuzz, the chug, the chorus pedal — and the tone usually lands before the melody. Name the texture and the song follows.
A double-kick run and a lazy backbeat are two different bands entirely. The way the drums sit tells you the subgenre in half a second.
A rasp, a wail or a spoken-word intro all carry different eras. The first breath of the vocal is a timestamp.
How to play
Name the song from the opening sound and reach for a longer clip only as a last resort. The riff is doing most of the work; trust it and type.
Questions about this quiz
Listen for the guitar tone and the drum pattern before the melody. A fuzz pedal, a clean arpeggio or a double-kick usually names the decade faster than the chorus does.
672 tracks across eras, from arena anthems to deep cuts. The rotation mixes classics and modern rock so no round feels the same.
Often a little. Rock spans more sub-styles, so the opening sound carries more weight. That is also what makes a fast solve on a guessable song feel earned.
