Real Rock vs. Garbage

If you have any legitimate reasons why I should bother reopening this mental dumpster fire of a thread, feel free to slide into my DMs.

The Sisters of Mercy - Poison door 😍

🙂

Alright, my little high school geniuses, listen up.

Mountain
Grand Funk Railroad
Humble Pie
Colloseum
CCS
Frank Marina Robin
Trower baba
Ruth West
West, Bruce & Lang,
Brian Auger
Emerson, Lake & Palmer / Gentle Giant
Gentle Giant
...and so on.
Look, I realize you probably don't have a clue, but I felt compelled to ask. Maybe one of you actually recognizes at least one of these names? It's honestly pathetic. If you aren't familiar with this era, there's really no point in even having a discussion about rock music. It's embarrassing.

😁

I was actually gonna ask you what you’d recommend in that private thread... but I see where you're coming from now. 😎

Look, if you think rock and roll basically started and ended with Uncle Joe's vinyl collection back in '76, I’m honestly worried you might be headed down the wrong path, not me.

Look, if your entire definition of rock and roll starts and ends with Uncle Joe's vinyl collection from '76, I'm afraid you're the one on the wrong track, not mi - Life's.

Look, I know you probably don't have a clue, but I just had to ask—maybe one of you actually knows at least one of these names? Probably not... honestly, without this stuff, there's really no point even talking about rock music. It's kind of a joke.

😁

So lame.

😂 😂 😂 😂 🤣

I can't deal with any more of this nonsense, I'm totally checked out
😂

Good grief, what happened to the sanity of our moderators... 🤣

👍

Let’s all head out to a wonderful *****! :2up:

Chan Marshall is simply the best—truly stunning—and as for m Ward, I am never lending him my guitar ever again! 😵

honestly I'm basically naked
😂

Hey frozenfox13, you didn't even mention Ten Years after—I guess you're a pretty weak rocker or something...

Kevin Chavez3 said:Weren't you hanging out in those same rap-hating circles just a little while ago? 🤔>

np Wu-Tang Clan - uzi (Pinky ring)... I used to be a rapper just like my buddy... 🙂

a few years back, but I guess I finally grew up since then... 😂>

np Nas - Life's a bitch

Gary Moore is the real deal when it comes to rock
Def Leppard? Total garbage.

And there you have it... case closed.😎

Prog/art/album rock is just inherently rockier than any other subgenre—it’s got that soul. Even when you look at those classic hard rock eras, there are gems everywhere; for me, early metal is as pure rock as it gets! 🙂

Wait, are we talking about a legendary rock era?
That’s the absolute gold standard of rock! 😬

I absolutely loathe legal deadlines👎

canned goods rule😁

plus there's this little guy named Rock who's gonna be huge one day, but crimsonfalcon17 will probably have more to say about that. He was actually the only one at the Deep Purple show. Twice:😲

And let’s not forget about the legendary Rock am Ring festival that everyone seems to know about... 😉

Dana Anderson4 said:the classics always rule😁

And let’s not forget there’s this young kid—a real rocker in the making—who’s destined for greatness, though I’ll leave the deep dives to crimsonfalcon17. After all, he’s the only one who actually showed up to see Deep Purple—twice, no less:😲

Oh, Ribafishe, Ribafishe—I swear upon every single beer in this entire country that you can't even finish—please, for the love of god, don't let the boy join the clergy. If he stays on this path, the people will remember him solely as a Pop Rock act!
