Top 100 Greatest Rock Songs PART 2 (skip to page 6 to see Part 2)

I don't see what the problem was with the first list. If you like dad rock, you like dad rock.

With that being said, the list is mostly dad rock.

How could you put a Creed song over Paranoid by Black Sabbath?JML897

What on earth is Creed doing on that list?

I don't see what the problem was with the first list. If you like dad rock, you like dad rock.

With that being said, the list is mostly dad rock.

I'd find it encouraging and pretty cool if you would have some songs released in the 2000's thrown in there. There are great bands making great music, still, and in fact testing the boundaries of rock music even as we speak.

[QUOTE="Kevlar101"] Hey, in my original list, I had like 10 80s songs and 2 90s songs. Now theres like 25 80s songs and 7 90s. Part 2 has a lot of 80s and 90s stuff, so the "Dad-Rock" is not as heavy in part 2.Kevlar101

:lol: I doubt that, given that Elvis and The Beatles both sold over 1 Billion records, and Led Zeppelin has sold about 350 Million records and AC/DC about 300 Million. No one these days gets there, they can get close, but rock is just not what it used to be, the 90s was the last age of true, rock, BUT, it can come back, these newer bands have the ability to bring rock back, im not saying its not around, I know its around, but its not nearly as popular as it used to be. Kevlar101

Are you saying that the only way music can be good is if it sells incredibly well? Are you saying that you only listen to, and take seriously, music that is accepted and bought into by a wide audience?

Or maybe you're trying to imply that the only way one can push boundaries in rock music is to outdo older rock musicians in some sort of album sales race.

lol

So? Big deal if it's not popular. It's still there.

I cannot count how many times I've said this to people like you. Turn off the radio! Look on the Internet for good bands, they are ALL over the place!

Trust me. When I was 13 years old, I was just like you. "Everything after 1995 sucks. Back in the day, musicians actually had 'real' talent!" Been there, done that. Bottom line; boy, are you missing out on some great music. Start branching out, there really is good stuff out there.

Did I say that? No, I did not, In fact, there are a lot of less-popular bands that I happen to love.Kevlar101

You didn't explicitly state that, but you certainly implied it. The entire general message of your post, in fact, was what I was referencing with my own. You were acting as if somehow the decreased popularity of rock music is caused by a decrease in the quality of the music within the genre.

How many times do I have to say this to people like YOU! 1st: Where in the nine circles of hell did 1995 come from? I love a lot of music after 1995, I even like some 2000s rock, but I just did not find the 2000s stuff good enough for this list. I have looked around on the internet, I love this new wave Alternative rock band called Naked Walrus, they are awesome, they formed in 2010. Along with a few others, dont assume that I am tightly wound to one kind of music.Kevlar101

Isn't that your cousin's brother's band (or something like that) that sounds almost identical to Nickelback?

What are some other bands from this millenium that you enjoy, aside from the band of a relative which you do internet advertising work for?

Oh yeah. Your brother's band that you made that alternative rock thread yesterday just to promote their music. I get it now.

Some of those songs are by The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Fleetwood Mac. aka some of the most mainstream bands ever.

Mainstream's fine, but when you say "I tried to include less mainstream music" and use Scar Tissue (a single off of an album that sold over 16 million copies) as an example...cmon.

A lot of the songs you listed are all incredibly well-known and played often.

"Black Betty"....Ram Ram's (I guess you could say cover of) "Black Betty"?

[QUOTE="Kevlar101"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Lesser known? Every song on that list is mainstream and most are played frequently. And most of them do, in fact, suck.TheFatPerson
