Why rock is better than the other types of music- please add to list

rock takes teamwork
rock takes heart and soul
rock takes rhythm

modern rock is pretty much what any 10 year old can do....todays music requires no talent, press a few buttons to make a beat...can you do that, can you press 3 buttons randomly until they make a beat, sure you can.

 

AAHHHHH!!! The ignorance it hurts me!! I'm meltiiiiing!!! Meeeeeeltiiiiiiing!!!

 

not ignorance....never mind it does look very ignorant.

well this is the rock'n'roll forum so....

anyways I just think that rock is better, classic rock

 

it's not a matter of "rock" being better than everything else. Not only "rock", but also jazz, blues, country, classical music etc etc.. are better than other types of music, because the lyrics make sense, and if there are no lyrics, the music expresses something, makes sense too.

 

so we agree new music sucks...

 

it's all subjective.

 

You're awfully generalizing. Lots of present day rock is great too. Before the eighties it seemed the better, more talented rock musicians were given more attention though. Nowadays it appears lots of creative rock bands are uninteresting for mainstream radio and tv so you don't get to know them unless you're on to it.

 

rock is a generic term.
Are you comparing the Big Bopper, Jimi Hendrix and the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

 

There are some really talented bands today. Some aren't very well known but anyone that isn't an idiot can find them. Check out Neutral Milk Hotel, that guy rocks. But yes, you're an ignorant idiot.

Rock is better because you can use any other genre and it won't be weird. i.e. Blues - Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Cream, etc. Jazz - Pink Floyd, etc.

 

there is plenty of good modern music you just have to know where to look.

 

I agree about the fast that there are a lot of great new musicians. If they choose to stay underground doesn't mean they don't exist

There's an edit button, use it. =)
(This thread has nothing to do with the original topic anymore, I love it.)

 

ok next time I'll take you advice. Use the edit button. I'll keep that in mind.

 

It ain't music is ya don't sweat it...........and this goes out to all the "singerettes" out there like Madonna, Beyoncè, Spears and J-Lo!!!
VIVA ROCK!!

 

Keith Richards said it best..Rock is all about atitude.It expressed the mood and mindset people(esp the young people) were feeling at the time. As the decades and mentalities changed,so did the music.What appeals to so many about rock is there are no rules..classical is very strict but in rock,you can do what you want..

 

All music is created equal, except for rap, as it isnt even music. But wether it be rock, country, blues, jazz, or whatever, one is only better than another in someones mind. In my mind, classic rock is the best, but I wont say it is better than country, jazz, blues, etc , just that I prefer it more. I listen to the other genres as well. For me, I like someone who can play a guitar fluently with feeling, and not someone who can just pick up a guitar and make noise and jam with 3 chords in mind. But then again, many like a 3 chord noisy jammer. So, rock isnt better than anything else, just depends on your own individual taste and moods.

 

Retracted my original statement about all new music. I'm more generalizing hip hop, rap and the mainstream punk-rock-emo-i dont know what sound. Sorry to me it sounds the same and is really easy. Like the Jonas Brothers (to name one).
Anyways, no I agree there are some good bands today, I gotta say I enjoy Sam Roberts Band.
