I listen to secular music sometimes too. Sometimes secular music can be sinful, though.
Take, for instance, rap music. Most of the time they're singing about getting with girls and about drugs, violence, etc. Do you really think that's pleasing to God? If you really think that that stuff is okay, you might want to think again...

There is nothing wrong with listening to secular music, however, as others have already pointed out, be careful what you listen to, and choose not to listen to ANY music that violates Christian principles. This applies to all genres of music, and not just to rock music. There are even some classical pieces of music that are dubious-one that comes to mind would be "Night On Bald Mountain" by Musorgsky, which has occult overtones.

Personally, I listen to both Christian and secular music. As to secular, I like pre-1964 rock (especially the type of music that is often called DooWop) and classical. But one must be careful what they listen to in both secular and in Christian music. If it is called Christian, yet has bad theology (and this can be in modern or old hymns), then discard it.
