Does anyone actually listen to REAL rock anymore?

[QUOTE="Derek240"]

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]My idea of rock would be Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Cream, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai. Those kinds of guys. I'm also classifying Hard Rock as Rock. It's just the label "Alternative" I hate. If Radiohead, Muse, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters. etc were just labeled "rock" like they should be then things would be so much simpler. Really there's no difference between Rock and Alternative Rock in terms of Characteristics. It's almost like "The age of the music is it's label"DmadFearmonger

Sorry but The Beatles are pop (though some of their later stuff is alternative or even what you might call experimental).

I have to agree that The Beatles were pop. Always were pop IMO. They were the equivalant of a boy band as far as the media machine and public was concerned. I would call their later work adult contemporary.

I only listen to fake rock.Lonelynight

Pretty much this.

Would you consider AC/DC as "real" rock?

Today's music ain't got the same soul.

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.

I didn't know there was such thing as pure rock.

Nor do I really care. People can listen to what they want to.

Of course - Rockin' is ma businessman.
