do you think rock is dead?

I think it is and it has been for quite a while now

um not if you like underground music but yes mainstream rock = crap

No. But it isn't as alive as it was in the past.

No. The only people that think that are the ones too lazy to actually look for good music. Darth-Caedus

/agree some looking on myspace is a good start and not to hard lol

Well if you listen to that mainstream stuff than yes it is dead.

It's certainly down, but not out.

I don't think rock will become obscure in my lifetime.

Nevar! And if it is, we'll bring it back!

We should say NEW rock is dead. Classic rock is more popular than ever.

seriously how can rock die anyway? metal for example has the most passionate united fanbase out of any music genre, were like brothers, you cant break that bond.G-O-M-J

Nope it alive.

Half dead...

No.

Not at all.

Nope, it might have changed but it isnt dead. There is still lots of good stuff out there

Rock isn't dead, its just taking a break/sleep. The only bands keeping it somewhat alive is bands from the 90's (foo fighters, QOTSA,Radiohead) and much older bands that are still together (AC/DC, Rush)

Other than that maistream rock is dead, I just hope a new band comes like what Nirvana did and kill all this mainstream garbage. Then we need a fresh new lineup of good rock bands.

P.S. The only rock band I like that started in the 00's is Interpol :P

Nope. at least i sure hope not.

I have similar feelings, but man, I hate AC/DC.

For bands this decade, I'll admit to liking The Strokes.

The Dead Weather and The White Stripes are good, too.

What signifies that it is dead?

I have heard every song they released and I found them utterly un-listenable.

(except for the famous "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Come As You Are" [which is a cover of another song and not theirs entirely])

Not until Aerosmith finally croaks.:P But no, I don't think rock is dead.

But imo, its just a phase. Nothing dies; it evolves.

no it is not. You just have to look hard and skipcrap like Nickelback,All time low,etc plus you can still enjoy rock music from the past so it will never be dead :)

Oh, I didn't mean to make it seem that way. I can see how you would think that, though.

Its just not its time. Wilfred_Owen

The only good bands I heard in this whole decade. (The Darkness came and went too quickly)

ok, I think I would like to change my vote, don't think it's dead but it's in some sort of comma and well in some way rock will never die thanks to what bands did in the past but rock's present and future doesn't seem good

:cry:

:cry:

Say Waaaaaaaat? Are you serious?

if it was dead it wouldnt be on the radioweezyfb

true but it's not as much as it should be, if there were some really good bands in the present we might have more rock in the radio than what we have now, even when rock might not be as popular as pop music
