Members john_p_t Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 Wow, nobody has mentioned Metallica yet. I woulda thunk they woulda been posted early on. The 4 albums from the 80's were pretty damn good IMO. Not really "rock" as such though, is it? They were {censored}ing great in the 80s though. And huge.

Members john_p_t Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 Ya know, this is actually a pretty good album! Ah come on... it's ok. But this shows what a barrel-scrape the 80s were for rock. If we were talking 70s or 90s, an LP this cheesy wouldn't be on anyone's radar at all.

Members foppy Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 Lots of great bands, and lots of great guitar bands too, but it's a bit of a stretch to define bands like The Cure, The Jesus And Mary Chain and New Order as rock, I think. Certainly, I reckon they would be horrified by the description. You might say JMAC were ambivalent about it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members john_p_t Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 I've still got a lot of love for this. Derivative as hell, but it does fulfil the job description, in that IT {censored}ING ROCKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members twofoolsaminute Posted June 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 seems the detractors on this thread are trying to disqualify everything because it's not one particular type of rock music. Almost seems like a moving target. The idea that Metal is not rock is silly. Dire Straits not rock? Cars not rock? does not compute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definately consider it rock just like the stuff from Iron Maiden. Different than Sabbath and Zeppelin but not so far removed to not call it rock IMO.

I think it's a reasonable requirement that Rock should, well, rock, in order to earn the hallowed title. Dire Straits and The Cars Do Not Rock. In a bad way. Metal doesn't rock either, but in a really good way. The Metal is The Metal. You know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 Geez -- so many of these albums have that sort of ridiculously-way-over-the-top-airbrushed-graphic look that you don't see anymore (thank god!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Rock the Casbah' - something the England team could have running through their heads when they play Algeria on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members foppy Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 One issued/problem/fact, as evidenced by some remarks on this thread, is the 80s were when people really started to get hung up on little labels and categories and subgenres. What passed for "rock" in the 60s and 70s was pretty broad. {censored} it, from now on rock and roll to me means Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Bill Haley, and Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps.
