It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me

No song can better describe what kind of music I love then this one. Now it’s true that I love a wide range of music

Go here to see what you are.

Heavy metal, jazz, motown, pop, punk, etc- but my all time favorite will be rock ‘n roll.

 

I mean how can you not love it?

 

It is crucial in music history as through it other genres were developed.

 And there are so many forms of rock: glam rock, punk rock, alternative rock, folk rock, soft rock, hard rock, classic rock, progressive rock, psychedlic rock, pop rock, rock-a-bily, country rock, etc. But it seems today no one cares about rock or rock bands. All they like are pop or rap or hip hop. This is how I feel

But Rock is the best! Here are 100 great rock riffs:

So that’s why this song describes my love for rock perfectly.

Old Time Rock & Roll by Bob Seger

Just take those old records off the shelf
I’ll sit and listen to ’em by myself
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll
Don’t try to take me to a disco
You’ll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I’ll be late for the door
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll

Still like that old time rock ‘n’ roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock ‘n’ roll
Won’t go to hear ’em play a tango
I’d rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There’s only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock ‘n’ roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I’m old-fashioned, say I’m over the hill
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll

Still like that old time rock ‘n’ roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock ‘n’ roll

And just cause…

Yep, love those oldies.

6) Your Views on Mainstream Music

I think the music of today mostly sucks. I mean there are good alternative bands like Avenged Sevenfold

But most of the current music is boring, all sounds the same, and isn’t even written by the singers/performers. It’s all hip hop and pop.

I miss music in which each member knew how to play the instrument, not just hiring people. I miss when they actually used to write their own songs. I miss rock ‘n roll.

I wish I had grown up in the ’50s-’80s when I could have seen so many cool bands, and for much cheaper. Instead I’m stuck in a world where people don’t even know the greats.

Come on people! It’s ROCK ‘N ROLL!!!
