how many of you like rock music

hnh, doesn't everyone like rock music?

i dig the mama's and the papa's
and the hip sunset strip in L.A.

Good old rock and roll, the real stuff. From AC/DC via Led Zep and onto ZZ Top. Before we could have rock and roll we had The Blues and people like Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson
& my favorite John Lee Hooker. In the 60s a lot of Brit bands were playing the Blues. If you've heard the Stones Doing "Little Red Rooster", then check out Willie Dixon's version. The Animals did John Lee Hooker's songs "Dimples" & "Boom, Boom". I like too listen to the originals and see how they compare to the revivals. the changes and the new arrangements.

There are even days that I crave the sound of a good old-fashioned power ballad.

any common philippic desultry

I love rock, from Fats Dominoe's "The Fat Man" all the way into the mid seventies. Then we essentially part ways.

I love rock from motown to metal

Outside of my obvious love for my family, music is the only thing in this world that makes me happy, and rock music of all types does it for me. Not pop music, rock music. Big difference.

Different people mean different things by the term "rock music"

Shaun, what kind of rock music do you mean in your question?

I think, and I may be wrong, that rock 'n roll is not usually thought of as "rock music", not now.

i mean like mettalica,kiss,alace cooper
stuff like that

I like the old stuff I use to listen too when I was younger, but don't get into it much anymore. My son like's the same classic rock I use to listen too as well and I like the memories I have when I hear his music. A list of some are AC/DC, Led Zepplin, ZZ Top, Van Halen, Bob Segar, Lynard Skynard, Bon jovi, Alice Cooper, etc....

Oh, Kiss was one of them too. They were one of my first favorites.

My favorite rock music is heard in the Korteliotis Gorge on Crete.
Whene the wind blows through the rough hewn gorge it is transposed to the sounds of an huge auditorium full of people clapping their hands. All because of this dynamic rock there in this location.

Truely really live rock music.

I forgot Aerosmith and Ozzy.

Mettalica is damn good, but I prefer a lot of newer bands like System of a Down, Zebrahead, Queens of the Stone Age, Disturbed, Red Hot Chili Peppers and suchlike.

Eeewww. I cannot stand System of a Down. It sounds like a soundtrack from a bad cult movie.

But I typically enjoy music of all genres, but most hip-hop I cannot stand outside of Eminem. I find him almost hilarious.

Can you explain someone that over the years has loved, and still loves, AC/DC, Aerosmith, The Who, The Doors, Elvis Costello, The B-52's, Van Halen, Nirvana, Blink 182, Linkin Park....and so it goes.

One of my local favorites - he was actually in the movie "Rockstar" he became the new rockstar towards the end of the movie.

Not a bad list youse got there Cjhsa.
Still, I have to suspect you're secretly a closet System of a Down fan in serious denial.

Man...so general, so hard to define....I like all sorts of music, including 'rock' of many styles, including the 'post-rock' of my old high-school friends' band Godspeed You Black Emperor. Wife had never heard them before and we snagged tickets to see them live last week, and they blew us away. Wife said it is almost 'modern classical' and different from anything she has heard. For me, 'Post-Apocolyptic Classical' seems more appropriate.
