What almost killed Rock and Roll ? What do you think?

All the crapy Emo music that they tried to classify as rock.

Rock should be hard and raw like it used to be.. not this whiney girly sounding crap.

Rock is sexy.. 12 year old looking boys in womens pants and lame hair cuts is NOT rock.

I know exactly what almost killed it. It was when young people

started listening to NO-Talent bands, and RAP(which can't even be called music, to me) because somebody said it was cool.

I think that bands, groups, whatever you want to call them need to at least have SOME talent. We ought to be able to understand what is be sung and the song should have a rhythm and a strong beat.

The fact is, that Rock and Roll is still kickin, but it's not getting

the publicity as much. But as long as there are great rock bands then there will also be people that will support it...

Rock On...

I would say technology ... the guitar took a "way back seat" in the mid eighties to synthesizers, and live drummers became a lot more scarce. The Seattle Grunge scene actually brought Rock back into the forefront in the early 90's.

Many of you on here are probaly too young to remember this,but the PMRC,a censorship group headed up by Tipper Gore(Al Gore's wife) came pretty close to it in the early 1980's.You now have them to thank for the "Parental Advisory" stickers on your newest cd.They blammed rock music for every bad thing that happened during that decade.

The Day the Music Died

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1959 plane crash. For the BBC Radio program, see The Day the Music Died (radio).

Monument at Crash Site, September 16, 2003.On February 3, 1959, a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, United States, killed three popular American rock and roll musicians: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and Jiles Perry Richardson (The Big Bopper), as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson. The day was later called The Day the Music Died by Don McLean in his song, "American Pie".

At no point in the last 50-odd years has it been in any danger whatsoever. Pick a random year and there are dozens of worthwhile releases.

Rock is dead they say: LONG LIVE ROCK! No seriously, rap killed rock.

Insane Clown Posse, MTV, and Nu Metal.
