Does anyone actually listen to REAL rock anymore?

Seems to me like the only music around anymore's Metal, Pop, Hip Hop, Electronic and ALT ROCK!

Is there anyone who listens to rock without it needing to be labled as Alternative?

Robert Plant, a prime example. Real rock music with this "Alternative" bullcrap. Infact, I wonder if there are actually any Rock musicians around today that are rock with being labled Alternative.

As someone who listens to so many forms of music... I really don't like rock music... its wierd... I mean, some groups I love(Coheed and Cambria, for example)... but for the most part, rock music is... boring...

What is alternative anyway?X360PS3AMD05

I personally think "Rock" is way to general a term to base the argument one. Particularly when the OP didn't bother naming off any bands as a basis to compare to. What exactly is Rock to you?

Iron Maiden? Black Sabbath? I personally consider them Metal. Some may consider them Hard Rock. Journey, Boston, and Foreigner? I would call them rock I guess. Where others may consider Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, and maybe to a lesser extent Johnny Cash to be Rock. All sort of a moot point for me though as I like every one of these artists to some extent.

[QUOTE="MrsSolidSnake"][QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]Bon Jovi, while they are a great band their technically Glam Rock. SorryDmadFearmonger

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]

[QUOTE="MrsSolidSnake"] Are you kidding me? Bon Jovi aren't glam :?MrsSolidSnake

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"][QUOTE="th3warr1or"] Of course Bon Jovi counts. I love Bon Jovi. MrsSolidSnake

[QUOTE="MrsSolidSnake"][QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]Really?

There are at least a couple bands around that are keeping rock alive:

Muse

Cage the Elephant (Their new album is the best album to come out in YEARS)

Them Crooked Vultures (Considering two of the three band members are from two bands that changed rock music forever, this band had no choice but to be awesome)

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]

[QUOTE="MrsSolidSnake"] Yeah really. Maybe back when they started. But they moved to power ballads and listen to their newest stuff. It is FAAAAAAAR from glam.MrsSolidSnake

The only REAL rock band was AC/DC with Bon Scott! I have a Led Zeppelin tattoo and think they are the greatest band to walk the planet but they aren't ROCK rock.Too_tight_shoes

I don't even know what "pretend rock" is supposed to mean.
I have no idea why the OP is getting so hung up on labels.

[QUOTE="Too_tight_shoes"][QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]Never said it wasn't rock, just said that it's pretend rock is all.
