If your opinion is a consensus then Rock is indeed dead

It's close....I'd call it semi-dormant. I think it does that from time to time and then some band comes around that puts it back on the map.

Of course it's all subjective. Rock to me probably differs with rock to you.

I remember considering rock "dormant" and then Guns-N-Roses came out with Appetite for Destruction and, to me, there was a resurgance.

Then the hair and glam went over the top and rock sort of stalled out again. Then Nirvana released "Nevermind" and popularized a relatively new genre.

I'm probably just getting old and not rolling with the changes as much as I used to. I'm having difficulty thinking of the last band that I thought really blasted rock back onto the map.

Maybe a band like Muse or a few others like it will make their mark and become timeless.

Look to Europe if you want to hear great rock n roll. some bands here, but way more over there.
