ROCK, MANY POPULAR SONGS S U C K . YOU MAY NOT THINK SO AT THE TIME BUT 20 YEARS AGO I LIKED 'WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GOGO' BY WHAM. TODAY I CAN'T STAND IT.\n\nMANY OF THE CLASSIC ROCK SONGS STAND THE TEST OF TIME. BESIDES REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING ARTISTS WERE CLASSIFIED AS POP AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER:\n\nBARRY MANILOW\nMILLI VANILLI\nVANILLA ICE\nGERALDO\nPAT BOONE\nMICHAEL BOLTON\nDEBBIE BOONE\nCAPTAIN AND TENILLE\nSTARLAND VOCAL BAND\nTINY TIM\n\nIF YOU CAN STAND LISTENING TO ALL OF THE ABOVE, THE POP IS FOR YOU.

Now let me say this. To compare Rock to Rap is to compare and apple to an orange. So to say one is beter than the other is not a proper statement> I personaly like both. I listen to ALL music and every genre has somrthing to offer to its listeners.

yea their is a difference, but because their lyrics are emo, which actually just means emotional, they are considered emo, whic his actually Emotional Rock, I personally dont like them that much, but I like a few songs, if ur in to Emo u should def. give Saves The Day a listen there music is very very good. I would personally label all american as pop-punk.

I would say, man it is quite a few, but in the category pop rock, probably Richard Marx's Right Here Waiting for You or OMD "If you Leave." Now, if you talking about modern pop rock, probably Evanscence's Bring Me to Life. I love that song.

AWESOME! Rock is a powerful force in the past causing parents, politcians and naysayers to go nuts! Especailly in the 1980's. The '70s, not so much controversy, but still one of the better eras full of Black Sabbath, Zepplin, Judas Priest, Dio. The '80s had tons of awesome acts like GNR and Def Leppard. I still love some of the strange lyrics and songs of the '90s much of which is Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains with a bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's sad to me that rock music isn't pissing enough people off and some of it is just terrible. Sure bands like Velvet Revolver, Audioslave and Red Hot Chili Peppers are great, but we need some new blood in rock! Hopefully more bands like Avenged Sevenfold will come out soon.

It depends own your preference of music. The safest to go with if your not sure of the other persons preference would be R&B or Motown like Marvin Gaye, Isley Bros., or good ol' Lionel Ritchie. If you want to go with the rock side then there is always James Taylor, Jim Croce, Elton John. If you want to be a little harder you could just pull some old rock ballads from the 80s. But I am sure there are hundreds of other artists that I have not mentioned that will get the job done. ;)

Beatles kind of started the pop / rock I remember but hands down over the years is the Stones.

I think you answered your own question. Alot of popular rock music does sound all the same. I am a music enthusiast and I judge music by 1.lyrical content 2. overall sound 3.quality of vocals and 4. ORIGINALITY.\nMost of my favorite bands aren't mainstream at all.\nBut thats probably cause I like to hear something different, something that presents music in a way I havent heard before.\nI love listening to music about society! You're just not gong to hear it on the radio. ;-)

Thats a hard one for me. I love both groups. But all in the end I think Def leppard would come out on top, because more people as in both sexes like them more than Bon jovi. Bon jovi is a band that mostly only girls like.

i think that both of the albums are great but dookie is a little better. It was fresher, more just them. the american idiot album was altered to be more like pop

Every one of them is good by choice. They didn't release the same songs didn't they? So none of them is better. Depends on people's taste.

This one is simple. Best rock group ever is The Beatles of course but Queen follows in close second...

I prefer rock (Foo Fighter, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, etc.), although I occasionally do listen to some rap.
