The Best Rock Songs About Winning And Being The Champions! We have a lot of practice here in the Motor City of Detroit. Sure we have had are share of ups and downs over the years. But nothing like the feeling of a winning team. Over the years, some of The Best Rock Songs are associated with Detroit teams.

The Detroit Red Wings top our list with 11 Stanley Cup championships. Who could forget our last run of cups in 1997, 1998, 2002, 2008? Never forget the feeling and the whole town coming together.

The Stanley Cup is 35.25 inches tall, so two stacked atop of each other is 70.5 inches tall.

The Detroit Tigers 1984 World Series Champs. winning 104 games. The Pistons ran in 1989, 1990, and 2004 and shocked the NBA World. The Bad Boys era was when it was us against all the haters.

Tiger Stadium

Our Most Recent National Champions Michigan Wolverines 

“Michigan vs Everyone,” turned into, “Michigan Beat Everyone.” 15-0 undefeated season on college football’s biggest stage. The storyline couldn’t have been written any better by Steven King.  Michigan’s national title no doubt will be the biggest sports story of the year. Unless the Lions win it all.

The New Era Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions just won their first division title in 30 years recently and hosting their first playoff game at Ford Field ever. The last time this happened was back in 1993 at then The Pontiac Silverdome.

The win over the Minnesota Vikings was  30-24. The Lions under Jared Goff doing something in the Motor City that hasn’t been done in a long time.

Hope you enjoy the list put together through inspiration of us fans that have waited so long to get that winning feeling once again. Celebrate and remember the days ahead. Cross those fingers and cheer as loud as you can . Buckled up and ready to rock. Good luck to all our Detroit sports teams.

• KISS

  Think i would pick Detroit Rock City? I was thinking of it but thought a shot of Tiger Stadium packed full of fans shouting out loud. Right from the stadium that gave us so many memories.  Look close at the video you might see someone you know.

• SANTANA

  “Winning,” a song from Santana that almost made it almost all the way to #1 in 1981. Believe it or not, it’s a cover song originally done by Hank Ballard back in 1976  The Album Santana’s Zebop was a very big comeback for the band.

• QUEEN

  QUEEN’s We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions.” Probably the most favorite when it comes to Rock Anthems. The songs together have been played in just about every sports event and arena around the world. The song that will stand the test of time for evermore.

• THE ROLLING STONES

  The Rolling Stones from the album, “ Dirty Work.” Kind of a deeper not so recognizable favorite of the Stones catalog. But still a favorite of mine. You might remember the hit, Harlem Shuffle off the same album. The band never toured with this album. My only guess because of Mick Jagger’s solo album out at the same time.

• ELTON JOHN

  The team of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, from John’s 1983 studio album Too Low for Zero. Bernie wrote the song with Elton in mind. All that Elton went through the years and ruff times and made it. Showed everyone that Elton had never left music and was still standing tall. 

• J.GEILS BAND

  J.Geils Band’s Live performances were something to see. The energy left you in the audience exhausted afterwards.” Just Can’t Stop Me.”  from their album, “ Sanctuary ” 1978 was a powerhouse of an album. If there was a concert I wish I could go back and repeat. It would be a J.Geils concert

• RUSH

  Rush “In Rio” concert filmed at Brazil’s world famous football stadium, the Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro on 23rd November 2002, the last night of the Vapor Trails tour. The  Song, ” One Little Victory.” This one for all the diehard RUSH fans everywhere.
