UK rockers show your faces!

[Born_to_try]

Who likes their rock music in here? I mean anything - from 80's to punk to emo to whatever - Christian or secular. Raise your hands folks!

 

[alban]

Me me! Love all sorts of rock, but mainly the guitar driven classics from the 80s (malmsteen, van halen etc.) Love it all though!

 

[Mikecpking]

I am a fan of 'Rush' plus a few other bands from the 80's era

 

[Born_to_try]

Good to see some fans of the great 80's rock era!

 

[flaglady]

I am (was) a rock fan but of the originals in the 50s and 60s. I still have my original vinyl recordings of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Bill Haley, Elvis Presley et al! You can't beat'm!

 

[london boy]

I'm a rocker too - I like a lot of the bands that came out of the punk era like The Clash, Joy Division, The Cure....the list goes on and on

Ever heard of the Xtraverts, LB?

 

[london boy]

No, can't say that I have....but I should also have mentioned that I like a lot of bands that from the early 70s like T-Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music as well....ah, my musical taste is rather vast as the ocean is wide

 

[flaglady]

Well, you got good tastes, I'll say that for you!
The Xtraverts was a regional punk band in the Bucks and Berks area and famous for getting fired as a supporting act by the Angelic Upstarts for being too popular! My nephew was lead guitar and song-writer/arranger for the group. Their singles are now in the top 100 collectors items!

 

[Buttermilk]

I have very diverse tastes in music which includes rock music

[~*ZEE*~]

*shows her face and raises her hand* Aye. Can't stand 80's rock though...I detest synthesisers *shudder* I enjoy punk rock...generally minus the pop element

 

[london boy]

You're right, Zee Who in their right mind would want to listen to pop-punk?

 

[~*ZEE*~]

Maybe...people whose CD collections revolve entirely around the charts

hehe, I admit that I do enjoy a soulful ballad every now and then...but I go more for the emo style than the poppy boppy sappy it's-been-done-a-million-times-before sort of rock

 

[sunshinejennii]

Yeah I guess so - my musical taste is kinda varied, and I'll listen to whatevers on.

 

[sarah_B]

wooo rock

 

[Martin^^]

Old 70s prog rocker here: King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd...

But I also like a bit of punk, and have been caught singing along to my daughter's Green Day albums.

 

[alban]

Was listening to a bit of King Crimson earlier today actually while i was walking my dogs. Prog rock seems to have down hill a bit- listened to Transatlantic the other and wasn't a great fan.

 

[Rossi]

Yeah i will listen to any rock apart from heavy/Metal.I have a more punk taste than anything else.However i do like U2.Starting to develope a taste for Jimi Hendrix and Thin Lizzy.So i go back as far as Jimi and also the new punk bands like Green Day.I realy like The Clash also.

 

[PEANUT]

Rock > Pop need i say more

Musnt forget the great welsh rock bands of this country, Feeder, LostProphets, Stereophonics
