Green Day and Queen Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I say about half and half. Why? Half rock because they have cool drums, and awesome riffs. But sort of not because they use sooo many synthesizers. What do YOU say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I say that "Renegade" is a real rock song. "Mr. Roboto" is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 A lot is. Some is like a real bad off Broadway play, where you leave at intermission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I say who cares what's "real rock" and what isn't. Listen to what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakin Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 They're not "real rock".. They're progressive rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 If you listen to their first 4 plus albums...they rocked hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Does it really matter? You either like them or you don't, as with any music. Like Ron says the early stuff rocked. The later stuff, eh. I'm pretty much a don't, but not because I worry if they are real rock or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Anyway I think if they can make a Rock Opera out of Billy Joel or Abba, then they should be able to do one out of Styx songs. don't know that I'd qualify anything ABBA did as "rock" - including a "rock opera" - which, in fact, it is not. "Mamma Mia!" is a musical using ABBA's music... a "rock opera" has no spoken lines - it is all music and singing: Jesus Christ Superstar, Tommy, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Honestly, only their true teamwork material comes within the lines of Rock. Renegade Blue Collar Man ~ prime examples of their killer in-tune stuff. Shaw was IMO the highlite & soul of this band. Babe Come, Sail Away Too Much Time on my Hands ~ this is where they started to slip in between the cracks & got stuck in between selling-out, mellowing-out just a tad, & flat out running out of ideas. The original fire that sparked them, was simmering down. Mr Roboto Kilroy was Here ~ the 80's had taken it's toll & showcased them as being Queen knock~offs. Dennis DeYoung (sp?) gained too much control over the band's direction & landed them right into the gutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
