It seemed to work out well for that woman on the radio. Maybe she'll win a Wii!

The oxymoron in the title of this thread proves irresistable.

Aside from the pseudo-folk of Mellencamp and Bruce, and the emergence of Grunge, 1980s rock is a sad reflection of the tragedy of popular music in that decade: Country (if you can call it music) and Hip-Hop, which produced some decent poetry, both proved more vital than rock.

After The Wall, which was the end of post-Syd Pink Floyd, and Highway to Hell, AC/DC's only decent album, rock was essentially finished.

Oh come now...

Back in black was a great album.
Iron Maiden's Live after death is certainly worth listening to (although it isn't my taste).

And...

Carter the unstoppable sex machine.
Hey, it might not be conventional r 'n' r....but man...it rocked!

true, the wall was by far the greatest single work of art to ever be released...
but GNR appetite for destruction and Back in Black were great too...
u cant mark the wall and highway as the end of rock...
just the peak...

The peak was many years earlier, perhaps 1969.

I agree, completely. Bands lost their freedom soon after.

Like I said - Back in Black wasn't really AC/DC.

They were never the same after Bon Scott died.

Velvet Underground
The Animals
The Doors
Grateful Dead beginning
Dylan's best rock
Rolling Stones best
Pink Floyd's most original work
Beatles
The Who's best work
Jimi Hendrix

all before 1970

After Woodstock (1969) rock music was chasing what it had lost
