Some ppl who likes pop songs might like a few rock songs and vice versa.

u got hell lot to learn about rock n roll.
In its purest form, Rock & Roll has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody. Early rock & roll drew from a variety of sources, primarily blues, R&B, and country, but also gospel, traditional pop, jazz, and folk. All of these influences combined in a simple, blues-based song structure that was fast, danceable, and catchy. The first wave of rock & rollers Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, the Everly Brothers, and Carl Perkins, among many others set the template for rock & roll that was followed over the next four decades. During each decade, a number of artists replicated the sound of the first rockers, while some expanded that definition and others completely exploded the constrictions of the genre. From the British Invasion, folk-rock, psychedelia, and through hard rock, heavy metal, glam rock, and punk, most subgenres of rock & roll initially demonstrated an allegiance to the basic structure of rock & roll. Once these permutations emerged, traditional rock & roll faded away from the pop charts, yet there were always artists that kept the flame alive. Some, like the Rolling Stones and the Faces, adhered to the basic rules of traditional rock & roll but played the music fast and loose. Others, like proto-punk rockers the Velvet Underground, the New York Dolls, and the Stooges, kept the basic song structure, but played it with more menace. Still others, like Dave Edmunds and Graham Parker, became rock & roll traditionalists, writing and recording music that never wavered from the sound of the late '50s and early '60s. Although the term "rock & roll" came to refer to a number of different music styles in the decades following its inception, the essential form of the music never changed.

Rock and roll?
Can help me?
I only knew the rock and roll which originated during the 50s to 60s and thats the exact info which i've gotten from www.allmusic.com.
The bands that i've posted aint rock and roll, but its a statement towards ninelive's posting of "rock songs".
Please teach me more instead of posting one sentence or 1 word answers.
Appreciate it.
Thanks.

Its not your defination, its your mindset. While I do agree with you that to each his own taste, its just sad that rock and roll to you is represented by a few 'irritating' bands.
Don't really blame you though, afterall the current generation has been greatly poisoned by the slew of modern 'rock'.
