...BTW, I didn't read the thread title close enough, and didn't notice the words "no debate please". I'll bow out of any further discussions (debate) if I'm going against the intent of the thread.

Just FYI, I'm actually not trying to debate but trying to understand where you're coming from and why you take the stand you do (and to see if that stand makes sense to me). I don't have any reason to defend rock music, I don't really listen to that much of it, or any other genre of music for that matter, on more than an occasional basis. When I hear most of the hard rock stuff, with all the screaming guitars and wildness, I appreciate the skill that goes into it, but I don't hear anything that appeals to me - it actually irritates me to listen to it. Not so much because I think its evil, rather because I just don't like the sound of it. Give me a quiet trickling stream to listen to anyday.
