rock v.s. pop
 

whats better rock music or pop music

?? maybe rock...but i like pop too!

Don't we already have a thread like this? Anyway... Rock. Pop is far too happy.

Agree with this. :P

Rock all the way.

As for there being another thread, I couldn't find one. The best I could find was rock Vs Rap.

Rock. However, there is some pop that I love the hell out of, particularly the best of the 60s pop scene with The Beatles, The Beach Boys, early work by The Who, The Yardbirds, The Mamas and the Papas, etc.

Um, suig? All of those are rock bands. In fact, only the Beatles and The Mamas and the Papas are listed as having done pop music, but they are more well labeled for rock.

Um, Quiet? All of those were also pop bands. Believe it or not, you can list more than one genre per song/album/band, and if you actually listened to the music, you'd know what I was talking about.

Yes, The Beatles were a rock band. But they were also a pop band.

Yes, The Mamas and the Papas were a folk rock band, but primarily a pop band.

Yes, The Yardbirds were rock and rhythm and blues, but the fact of the matter is that they always played some pop music.

Yes, The Who in their prime were more of a straight rock band, but did you ever think to consider that they didn't start out that way? Because they didn't. They started as a pop-rock act.

And if you actually think that The Beach Boys were never a pop band, you haven't listened to much of their music. "Surf rock" is only one of their labels. Have you ever even listened to their Pet Sounds album? I doubt it.

I know what I'm talking about, Quiet.

The first time in months that Wikipedia has lied to me then.

I'll always refer to them as rock bands though.


Back to the topic..... Rock and Roll has Jimmi ****ing Hendrix!! How can anyone say pop tops that?

In my opinion, rock all the way! I do listen to pop/rock and pop/punk however, rock hold precedence over pop in my eyes. AC/DC, Jimmy Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin just to name a few; The list of legendary artists goes on for rock.
