Audacy has the perfect Tailgate Rock tunes to get your party going

While your tickets will get you through the doors at concerts and live sporting events -- what they don't provide is a choice spot in the lot with views of the surrounding steel and asphalt vistas, nor the perfect playlist to keep your fellow tailgate partiers parked nearby.

With that in mind, here's one of our all-new Audacy Exclusive Stations we think you'll want to favorite. Tap it and let the tunes flow with Rock songs that are sure to crank up the good times -- featuring tracks from Van Halen, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Cheap Trick, Thin Lizzy, The White Stripes, and many more!

While you're in the mood, check out some of our favorites below and just a few of the reasons the tracks truly rock our tail(gates)!

AC/CD - Thunderstruck

THUNDER! Join the chant... THUNDER! Crank the guitars... THUNDER! Anyone passing by your little corner of the parking lot when this AC/DC classic comes on the scene will know right away who the boss of the pavement is. Congrats are in order too, as the group's music video just reached one billion views on YouTube, joining Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Linkin Park, and Queen.

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

Our message is simple and straightforward -- just like the distorted bass line of this classic from The White Stripes. We're gonna fight 'em all. A seven-nation army couldn't hold us back.

Van Halen - Jump

It's down to the wire... the playoffs are in sight... we've gotta go for glory! "Might as well Jump" with this Van Halen classic while we "roll with the punches and get to what's real!"

Metallica - Enter Sandman

"Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son, to include everyone." The build-up, the explosive chorus, the "beasts under your bed..." There's no wonder Metallica's "Enter Sandman" has become the walk-on soundtrack for countless teams. It's the perfect addition to any playlist built to send the visitors "off to never-never land."

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust

Maybe this Queen classic should be reserved for the walk of shame party, as you blast it towards the losing team's fans while they saunter back to their cars for a long drive home. Of course, it can also be used for some pre-game taunting as well. Use this weapon wisely.
