02.13.18 | What killed rock was the establishment subverting it by embracing it to appear more human.
Please, call me Tony. My fave is Dylan and I like to play guitar. Fancy a jam?
Shudder. |

agreed. the mars volta at least know how to keep the listener awake for more than 30 seconds on their albums |

02.13.18 | Audioslave took members from 2 great bands, put them together, and made the most uninspired shit ever. :/
I'm not into 12, but I'm sure it's fine based on songs I've heard from it.
The rest of this is stuff I don't think I'd ever come to close liking, but I don't think they killed rock. Rock died because it ran out of innovative ideas. |

I have to admit, when I was younger I expected so much more out of Audioslave based on their name and their album covers. By those features, I expected something really downtuned and sludgy for alt metal (like 4th of July by Soundgarden). Sadly that never happened, of course |

02.14.18 | I don't understand this list at all and I've only listened to Hot fuzz off it. What is rock ? |
Lopezian
02.14.18 | To be clear I`m not saying that rock is dead or non existent. What i was describing was more the period in the early to mid 2000`s when radio rock dominated the charts and it became overly commercialized poppy boring crap. This happening contributed to the general public developing disinterest in the genre and created a lack of progression as everyone was following the same tired formula in order to try and make the charts. This gave way to Hip-Hop, becoming the dominant genre on the charts. |
KManoc1
02.14.18 | American Idiot and The Black Parade shouldn't be on here. |
Lopezian
02.14.18 | American Idiot was pretentious try hard trash, they made a pop-punk rock opera intended to be groundbreaking and deep that was as watered down and mass appealing as possible. The black parade is much the same but they went in the direction of arena rock pop and plastic theatrics. In my opinion. |

Idk dude... you say this as if rock was some super niche genre before these albums. And it's not like there wasn't a huge amount of watered down Zeppelins, Motley Crues, Nirvanas, etc. in the decades preceding the 2000s, and it's not like said bands and plenty of other rock bands weren't making the charts before the 2000s. |

02.14.18 | “American Idiot was pretentious try hard trash”
says the person with pink floyd 5s
really isnt any less pretentious than most classic rock concept albums, and a lot of those artists weren’t some inaccessible acts devoid of anything the mass market could latch onto. it’s not like being catchy is a musical crime, and any rock album with good hooks “hurt the genre” |

Jimmy Eat World

Taking Back Sunday
My Chemical Romance
Linkin Park
The Used
I could go on but I’ll throw in a few that despite having a wider demographic these fuckers brought all that was good about rock n roll crashing down in a ball of mass marketed saccharine product.
Alanis Morrissete
Counting Crows
Hootie and the Blowfish
Razorlight
Maroon 5
Coldplay
Snow Patrol
The Killers
The Kooks
I mean just en-masse whitewashing of everything that was dangerous about rock n roll. Throw in the countless ‘ska-punk’ skater boy, emo, asinine, infantile dross and the whole thing gets fucked.
Long live Motörhead.

Demon of the Fall
02.14.18 | Re zakalwe's list: Is it wrong that I winced at the 2nd list more than the first? Both are bad though.
The original list doesn't really make sense. |
DoofusWainwright
02.14.18 | Zak’s list is perfect, he’s not wrong :D
I’d add Snow Patrol, Keane, Panic at the Disco, Slipknot...I think we get the idea |
DoofusWainwright
02.14.18 | Foo Fighters are probably the biggest marker...their stuff changed with the rock times. It got progressively more lame
with each release but they always had their finger on ‘the pulse’.
The pulse itself was the problem. |
Demon of the Fall
02.14.18 | What does Slipknot have to do with the others? If anything it helped kids get into metal. Not sure how it helped kill rock, unless that's because the would-be rock fans starting being converted into something else entirely. |
DoofusWainwright
02.14.18 | You took the bait Demon ;D
Seriously, Stone Sour deserve to be there so only one degree of separation |
DoofusWainwright
02.14.18 | Obviously The Darkness and Steel Panther are the final nail in the coffin - self confessed retro pastiche acts that signify rock is now a museum piece and ‘bit of fun’ dress up. Something to listen to in the queue for ‘We Will Rock You’.
It’s not the fact these bands exist...it’s that now they’re some of the biggest ‘current’ rock acts. |
zakalwe
02.14.18 | What we need is to appeal to a wider market to generate more product. Do this, say that, wear these, produce it like them and definitely don’t say that.
Suck Satan’s cock, it’s big, veiny, repulsive but you’ll love the taste. Swallow it. That’s it. Now go on spread the seed, everyone will bow down to the same tune.
ANYBODY CAN DO IT. ABSOLUTELY ANYONE.
The real pioneers, the real one offs just regurgitate what they did. Copy the style, imitate charisma, synthesise talent. I’m sure we can brand it, package it, augment it and sell it at a higher price.
Who wants to be Jimi when you can be Jesse.

02.14.18 | I hope to one day see a picture of Zak and Doof playing chess together in a park somewhere, smoking cigars and wearing shirts that are open just one button too far, grumbling about how the youth today have no balls and wouldn't know attitude if it slapped them in the face, took a shit in their mouths, and fucked their mama in front of them.
That said, this entire thread is highly amusing and who gives a fuck, just like what you like. |

Prancer
02.16.18 | a few albums on here were mainstream hits during their time. if anything killed rock, its the mainstream rock scene failing to come up with anything fresh after the pop punk era during the 00s. a lot of these bands just conceded to the EDM takeover and became full on pop bands.
6 is a great album btw |
DamnVanne
02.16.18 | I think you’ve nailed the time period, but some of these seem like records you just didn’t like that coincidentally came out while Rock was gasping it’s last. Arcade Fire didn’t hardly resemble rock music and didn’t appeal to rock sensibilities. Foo Fighters, Theory of a Dead MaN and nickelback were certainly guilty of turning rock into a really generic radio friendly product, but what I think really happened is that rock got co-opted into the teenager and soulless cosmopolitan hipster friendly indie machine. The Killers, Kings of Leon, Metric, Yeah Yeab Yeahs etc. |

06.16.18 | While I agree with a lot of these, but I would argue that The Black Parade, One by One, and Audioslave help the genre live a bit longer. It was the music that spawned from these really good albums that killed it. And Panic at the Disco was barely rock to begin with. |

06.16.18 | A lot of what "killed" rock in the context of this list was made possible by nirvana, which in itself was a band that marked a paradigm shift away from mainstreak rock that had sucked since 1978. I like the idea but u need to rewind the clock back a lot further than 00's |
