For some have claimed that there's never been a better time to rock.

There has never not been a time to rock in general.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:14 (twenty-three years ago)

this definitely does seem to be a particularly good moment in which to rock.

must stop nodding

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:15 (twenty-three years ago)

why am i unable to imagine this thread started by anyone other than an australian?

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I am an Englishman by birth, Jim. And yet Australia has taken me from behind and seduced me, so to speak.

You come in a land down under.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:25 (twenty-three years ago)

i might, um, try it...what recommendations do youse who rock have?

last time, many years ago, i got punched for rocking out. it was at a metal gig too!

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:33 (twenty-three years ago)

We just recommend you rock, Gaz. Rock in the way you feel most fit.

For there has never been a better time to do so.

I don't see why? is there somehting particularly rocktastic abotu the current scene?

― Savin All My Love 4 u (Savin 4ll my (heart) 4u), Monday, 21 July 2003 05:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Well now... I wouldn't call it rockTAStic, exactly... but rock-a-licious? Well, certainly.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 July 2003 05:29 (twenty-three years ago)

rock-ola

rock-tacular

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 21 July 2003 05:34 (twenty-three years ago)

how about just rockin'?

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 05:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, Matos. Just rockin' is just right.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 July 2003 05:43 (twenty-three years ago)

"Just Rockin'"--the new album from [insert sap here]

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 05:48 (twenty-three years ago)

No, Matos has led us astray here with some kind of loser bluegrass thing. Let's go back to Jim's rock-ola and rock-tacular. That sounds more fun.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 July 2003 05:53 (twenty-three years ago)

We have rocked hard. So the question remains, when do we 'ride free'?

― weatheringdaleson (weatheringdaleson), Monday, 21 July 2003 06:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Surely, when you rock hard, you ride high?

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 July 2003 06:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah. I sometimes confuse that with reeling.

― weatheringdaleson (weatheringdaleson), Monday, 21 July 2003 06:19 (twenty-three years ago)

rock rock til you drop
rock rock never stop

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 21 July 2003 06:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Has there ever been a better time to go back to bed?

― Al Andalous, Monday, 21 July 2003 10:23 (twenty-three years ago)

i expect 1967, 1976 and 1991 were all better times to rock than now.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 21 July 2003 10:34 (twenty-three years ago)

It annoys me that there should be all this talk of ROCK, as if it alone were responsible for bringining us to the point we are now at, poised on the brink of a brand new afternoon in the development of modern popular music; whilst ROLL which - lest we forget - played an equally vital and pivotal part in the process (can you say "seminal"? Of course you can. Now can you do it again but without thinking of "semen" and sniggering like a schoolgirl this time? Thank you), seems to have been resigned to the dustbin of obscurity, had the potato peelings and old teabags of scorn dumped on it's head, been put at the end of the drive of relevance on the Thursday morning of destiny, collected by the dustmen of cheap journalism, and taken to the landfill site of history.

It's revisionism of the most damnably Stalinist kind - I say it's time to throw of the shackles of conformity and let us remember to both rock AND ROLL in equal measure!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 21 July 2003 10:37 (twenty-three years ago)

This indeed would be a good time to rock. Will someone please?

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 21 July 2003 10:55 (twenty-three years ago)

ILM...ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!?
Raaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

I...CAN'T...HEAR...YOU!!
RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

No. Really. I can't hear you. My hearing aid fell out. I think it dropped into the mosh pit. Can anyone see it? Check around your feet.

Die, thread, die. (Rock obliterates the concept of time.) Die, die. Thread, you are very sick and you must die.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 21 July 2003 13:50 (twenty-three years ago)
