Re: Long Live Rock

    I think there is so much music out there right now and if you are not 
happy with what you are listening to you need to search deeper

    Like if you turned on MTV and watched that for a half hour Yes I think 
that everyone would come to the conclusion that ROCK IS DEAD
    but if you  really looked deeper than that like listened to some 
underground bands and if you listen to the local radio you can even hear 
some good SONGS there too everyonce in a while    ....but i would never say 
that rock is dead as a whole    IMHO...
  but there is another  thing to remember you can like a band even if they 
only have ONE song that you have ever heard .. A LOt of times now you only 
hear one song from a band
   And i guess you can say I am from this generation and i do not like any 
popular music and i don;t listen to new rock radio or buy there cd's  but 
every once in a while there are some songs THAT ROCK!!
