Music is only good when it is aligning us towards God's will.

I heard and read that some rock music when played backwards has something rather questionable being said. And that's just the least questionable of the many questionable things I've heard about rock music. Do you think a christian can and should listen to rock music? Pleas explain and keep the inflamatory comments to yourself.

I can't imagine a genre in and of itself being ungodly. I do, however, certainly believe that music can be played in a way that is spiritually harmful, even without any words, no matter the genre. I think that music can be spiritually harmful by virtue of both the composition and the lyrics.
I am very picky about music. I think that the vast majority of what passes for "music" is absolute crud made by people with little to no talent who have no business being in the professional music business. That said, I can't say that all of the horrible "music" is necessarily ungodly, except for "ungodly horrible".
So, based on your argument you believe that Death Metal is not ungodly? Most, if not all, of the songs that fall within this genre have some seriously negative lyrics and messages.

Yeah. Most so called Christian rock for instance. Awful stuff.
I'd expand that to all contemporary Christian music, period.
Bring out REAL Christian music - hymns and chants!
