"Rocks" is a song by Scottish rock band Primal Scream, taken from their fourth studio album, Give Out But Don't Give Up (1994). This song was the first indication of Primal Scream's change in musical style, when compared to their previous album, 1991's Screamadelica, which featured dance leanings. "Rocks" (and the whole Give Out But Don't Give Up album) features a more classic rock structure inspired by artists such as T. Rex, the Rolling Stones, and Faces. Faces singer Rod Stewart would later cover the song himself, including it on his 1998 album When We Were the New Boys.[1][2]
