Thanks! I’m glad I could add to the list. :-) I know some are not as old as others, and it’s more that I know mainstream songs better than I know the off radar ones. Btw, I’m really liking Detective Detective. :->

My age is showing as I am unfamiliar with the songs and artists in your list, except the Killers and Imagine Dragons. Not to mention, my list is a bit OLD school. :-)

All For One by Five for Fighting

Bad Moon Rising by CCR

Believe It or Not by Joey Scarbury

Centuries by Fall Out Boy

Demons by Imagine Dragons

Eye of the Tiger by Survivor

Hero by David Crosby and Phil Collins

Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler

Immortals by Fall Out Boy

I Won’t Back Down by Tom Petty

Red Right Hand by Nick Cave

Show Me the Way by Styx

Superman (It’s Not Easy) by Five for Fighting

Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones

Thriller by Michael Jackson

We Don’t Need Another Hero by Tina Turner

I know there are more titles rattling around in my head, but I can’t remember them at the moment. And there are lots of Disney hero and villain songs. ;-)

Thanks for sharing! Now I need to go listen to some new music!

I *love* your playlist!

There's so much good stuff here I hadn't even thought about and totally should've, given how much I listened to most of these songs, especially from Five for Fighting and Fall Out Boy, growing up! (And honestly half of Imagine Dragons' discography could go on a playlist like this; their music is so good for anything cinematic or fight scene related! I had a hard time just narrowing down the few of theirs I put on my list.)

And there are some great mash-ups and covers of Disney hero and villain songs that could definitely work on a playlist too, like you said!

I don't think it's an age thing necessarily; I do just listen to some fairly off the radar stuff, regardless of the age of the bands. (A fair bit of the ones on my list are new-ish indie bands though.)

Thanks so much for sharing you playlist and I'm glad I could share some more music! I've found *so* much music ever since I started using Spotify a few years ago, so I have far too many playlists and new music to share all the time 😅
