AWESOME! Rock is a powerful force in the past causing parents, politcians and naysayers to go nuts! Especailly in the 1980's. The '70s, not so much controversy, but still one of the better eras full of Black Sabbath, Zepplin, Judas Priest, Dio. The '80s had tons of awesome acts like GNR and Def Leppard. I still love some of the strange lyrics and songs of the '90s much of which is Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains with a bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's sad to me that rock music isn't pissing enough people off and some of it is just terrible. Sure bands like Velvet Revolver, Audioslave and Red Hot Chili Peppers are great, but we need some new blood in rock! Hopefully more bands like Avenged Sevenfold will come out soon.

It depends on what you mean: today's Rock is better than rap/hip-hop in my personal opinion but the songwriting and talents are way down except for a few left out there compared to classic rock. \n\nIf I had to choose between keep it or scratch it I'd say keep it. I know the Stones won't be around for much longer so their music days are almost over, all the Ramones except for Tommy are dead (including the 4 others besides Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee) and everyone is retiring in the classic Rock industry. So there has to be some bands to take the reigns, I'm just happy for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, they're some of the few good muscians left (although "Dani California" is a total ripoff of Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty and Jimi Hendrx).

I think it is!  It has changed over the years, but the foundation of why rock is so good is based on the energy it gives the listener.  Some music relaxes you and others pump you up, but rock seems to have an inherent way of creating energy and positive thinking.\n\nRock will always be alive in some form or another.

Rock today and rock back then talk about totally different things. Rock back then was more soulful and todays it's just emo.

firstly,10000,s of rock fans will tell you its not just noise its: real music,with real musicians,they dont mime,its a way of life not just some jumped up fashion statement or TV programe making a"boy band" to make money.\n\nDont judge rock music by volume, judge it by its content.\n\nThe chances are you dont want to like rock music and have no wish to look further than 'you think its all noise'\nRock/metal has so many incredible off shoots, you cant generalise.\nThey Range from: Motley Crue to Puddle of mud and poison to megadeth.\nThe list is incredible,Glam,BNWHM,punk,AOR,Thrash, Speed, \nDeath, Black,Progressive Underground ETC ETC,Its all rock/metal.\nThe difference between 'Your all I need' and 'Bomber' is massive, but both performed by rock bands.\n\nThe loudness? I guess you are talking about a live concert? If so, stand further away from the speakers.\nGeneraly that applies to any band not just rock and metal bands.\n\nTry listnening to them on CD and use the volume control, its a great invention and its stops you from going deaf.\n\nGo to any nightclub and the volume isnt much different.\n\nI grew up watching "motorhead" live and standing next to the speakers and I spent my youth playing in rock bands and being a roadie,Im not deaf.\nIf you are interested in that type off music, try listning to music your friends have and Im sure you will hear so many different styles and you might even regognise a word or two.

Personally, I am more into the grunge rock side of things: I love bands such as Nirvana. I do like some Nu-metal, and I am a fan of Linkin Park, but grunge just has that edge for me which Nu-metal doesn't.

My favorite type to listen to is rock - The Doors, Pink Floyd, Live, Bush, Incubus.... because the sad ones speak to my pain, and the happier ones give me energy and make me drive too fast, and the philosophical ones make me think. However, I play piano, and my favorite genre to play is classical because I can think of the feelings - don't need words - and translate them to sound with my hands. Doesn't matter if anyone else "gets" what I'm expressing, because I do.\n\n If I were to play songs with words, it would limit the range of things I'd be able to think about and express. But when listening, I like to know what the composer is thinking and be able to identify.

I agree.  I love nearly all era's of music, but the stuff from the 60's, 70's, and 80's is better by far than most of the music today.\nI personally like Led Zeppelin, they had a great guitarist, and a great drummer, and could play rock, blues, and a lot of other styles of music as well.  For example D'yer'maker (hope I spelled that correctly) almost sounds a bit like calypso, "When the Levee Breaks" is a classic blues song, "Stairway To Heaven" is probably one of the greatest rock songs ever.  Not only could they play a variety of music styles their lyrics were intelligent and intriguing.\nAnother of my all time favorites was and is Bob Dylan, the man is a lyrical genius, and he has inspired more musicians than any other singer/songwriter.\nTodays music just doesn't compare.  They simply regurgitate their songs and their goal is to make money.  Back in the 60's - 80's people were actually writing songs that meant something, and they were trying to say something.  Today's artists might tell you that is what they are attempting to do, but IMO they have failed misserably.  They simply parrot what the mainstream media and entertainment industries spew out and say that they are trying to make a difference.\nThere are only two "modern" bands that I like, one of them broke up (Rage Against The Machine), the other is U2

I've been listening to country and any type of rock ever since i was born. I don't see why people diss it. I hear a lot of people who diss it but then i rarely hear the people who listen to country dissing rap or anything. I love country music. I think it does have a meaning in it like a lot of rock songs. People I know can relate to the songs and everything while the people I hear listening to rap and liek everything else, they don't or can't usually relate to any of the songs. I can relate to lots of country and rock songs.
