Rock is awesome

[Shard of Reading he/him]

This is the place to discuss the single greatest type of music of all time. No, I do not mean Bridge four rock, although he is awesome. I mean Rock and Roll. My second favorite thing in this world. (After sanderson.)

So, I'm curious. What's your favorite band/song. (Of rock and roll)

I love AC/DC currently this is my favorite song.

I don't know if they count, but I love Sum 41. ACDC is great too. 

Bad Religion is also awesome.

Will do.

Am I the only person who finds it funny that rolling stones can be interpreted as roll and rock.

I love electric guitars and the possibilities that come along with them. But the rock music I listen to is mostly of the dreamy, reverb-heavy kind. Like Radiohead, The Cure, Cocteau Twins. Or the exact other way, the metal stuff.

Sum 41, Rise Against, Linkin Park, and Relient K reigned supreme over my 5th-8th grade music tastes. Linkin Park was and has continued to be my favorite, but certain Sum 41 songs still rock. I actually had a dream earlier where the song "No Reason" was playing. It was SUPER weird.

O.K. I know I made this thread but whenever I pass this thread I always think of Bridge Four Rock.

ELO is great.

Some of my favorite bands are Queen, Journey, U2 (they technically are a rock band), Styx, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Genesis, R.E.M., The Cure, Supertramp, REO Speedwagon, Yes, and Kansas.

so pretty much 80s and 70s is my jam.

Oh and some GNR

That's awesome!!!

Aside from AC/DC some other bands I like are Aerosmith, Boston, Rush, ZZ top, Led Zepplin, Journey, Foreigner, The Who, Guns and Roses, Van Halen, and Billy Joel.

Edit: How did I forget about Kansas?

Alas, I can't remember anything other than me not knowing the song, and then realizing it was No Reason.

Does Elvis count? I like Shoot the Thrill, Back in Black, Lose Yourself, and Cherry Bomb by the Runaways.

I'm just here to say that the tags you put on this thread are outstanding.

(Going back to my classical music now - & glad that there are so many kinds of music for everyone to love!)

Thank you I'm rather proud of them.

Ok so today my mom and I were discussing rock singers. To be a good rock singer, you don't necessarily have to be a good singer in the traditional sense, you just need to have either a distinctive voice (eg R.E.M. or U2) or just that "rock" sound. 

So we were talking.

What rock groups/singers have good voices in the traditional sense? If you were to give them a non-rock song, who would sound good? For example, Bon Jovi would probably not do well singing anything other than rock.

This is what we came up with:

Curt Smith from Tears for Fears (Roland Orzabal also has a good voice, but Curt's is better)

Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet- not rock but still)

Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)

Tom Bailey (Thompson Twins-again not a rock band but I really like his voice)

Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam)

Steve Perry (Journey)

What do you guys think?

Every time I see this thread title I think you guys are talking about the horneater.

My dad's favorite band is U2 and that's pretty much all I know about rock.

AC/DC!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Brian Johnson)

Mik Jagger. (Rolling stones)

Led Zepplin. (I don't remember their lead singer)

Ozzy Ozborne

That is true. Many rock singers would not do well in a choir (Or anyother type of music.)

Edit: I'm learning how to play the electric guitar. I have my second lesson in 20 minutes.
