How do you feel about there being no such genre as Rock N Roll anymore?

I'm cool with it.

Many aren't paying attention dearest dildo.

Why does SFJ never want to rock?

Because it's too white, Reverend.

Grinderman was classified as "Rock and Roll" on the AMG in 2007

ok

I don't listen to rock, so I wouldn't mind if it disappeared.

I don't care what people say; rock 'n' roll is here to stay.

I mean, when was rock n roll last a genre?

Was there an official decision or something?

What are you talking about? I mean it's still a genre in my collection, there are still bands you can go and see.

Are you asking us if that would be OK? If so, well, no.

Cripes, is that Bowser?

I always find this a kinda puzzling assertion - genre stratification/taxonomy doesn't eliminate the parent tree: all the metal/indie rock/etc etc in the world is still rock and roll I think

J0hn D OTM, which is why I remember being so frickin' annoyed (I mean, more so than usual) with Rolling Stone back in 2001 when they were talking about the Strokes, White Stripes et al as a sign that 'rock is back.' Morons.

All I mean is, whatever happened to bands calling themselves Rock N' Roll?

Or the old school Rock N' Roll sound?

I think I was feeling a little nostalgiac after listening to Bill Haley and His Comets and then finding out that there is no listing on Myspace for the genre "Rock N Roll" (I mean, there is "rock" but who took the "roll" out of Rock N Roll?).

I feel like the simplicity behind early Rock N Roll is gone, there was a lot of heart in it back then and not so much intellectual (or as is the case with ninety-nine percent of the bands out there: pseudo-intellectual lyrics.)

Not even just the lyrics but the whole sound of just music coming from the heart...

I would call some of the older Bruce Springsteen stuff a good example of true Rock N Roll.

How about Jonathan Richman?

shit loads of great rock being played live at small dive bars by young kids with a lot of love in their hearts.

who took the "roll" out of Rock N Roll?

95 percent of the bands who ever tried to play it. but that doesn't mean it isn't there anymore. it just means you've got to seek out the other 5 percent if'n that's what's you're looking for.

we cannot help you captain romantic

I put pretty much anything that isn't hip hop or dance music under a "rock'n'roll" tag on my iTunes (specifically that phrase mostly to weed out rap songs with "rock" in the title).

so what would you do with schoolly d's "I don't like rock 'n' roll"?
