Is there a difference?

IMHO

Beatles, Stones, CCR = Rock n' Roll

AC/DC, Van Halen, Guns n' Roses = Rock

prefer Hard Rock, Sleaze Rock, Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Power Metal, Speed Metal, Sludge Metal, Stoner Metal, Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Blackened Death Metal, Black Metal, White Metal

ie ... METAL !!!!!

all else is blah

Does this list cover that Rhythmless dogschit that sounds like Grunting Pigs being slaughtered.. Arnold Ziffel on Speed?.. I call it Grunt Rock.. Makes me want to Murder my Fuqkin' Radio!..

I don't know if there is a difference but I know I like, like it, yes I do.

Where’s Lamb of God fall into the equation?

It’s all good if someone likes it.

dont forget ,Psychedelic rock

That just proves you're not fully developed mentally , in other words .. slow, dimwitted etc .

a human ear is capable of picking out & identifying individual notes, even in a blistering 500 note guitar solo

Most often called Acid Rock...

I agree. Bands like AC/DC. Van Halen, Guns n' Roses, Led Zeppelin, and others, are often categorized as Heavy Metal. But, I never thought of them as such. There like a step above rock n' roll. AC/DC and Zepellin are both heavily influenced by blues and early rock n' roll.

Metal head here, as long as there’s actually singing and no Cookie Monster impersonating going on.

Agree with your summary..

Example…

AC/DC is the best rock band of all time

Pantera is the best heavy metal band of all time

Six Feet Under is the best death metal band of all time

here's an example of a very well composed song, every note contributes and there is no excess

singing like that takes a lot of training and continuous practice ..

not everybody can sing like that, especially for that length of time

And the. You have the 80’s hair bands. You gotta love them!

Russ Parish on guitar (Steel Panther)

No, Rock & Roll was Elvis, Buddy, Chuck, Richie, etc. Ended by 1960.

British Invasion was the beginning of Rock in all of it's many, many variations.

I like most all of it.

Let's fix those of you with still existing traces of WOOT DOOT:

I love Southern Rock ..the best of the breed

Rush.

End of discussion.

Slavic Metal ?

What about [bleep]? Scorpions, loverboy,journey, etc.

Dream Theater is just noise, I like Portnoy though, he can play.

Have y'all heard this Priest cover that just came out? They nailed it!

Glad those are examples

Because everyone knows Megadeth is the greatest heavy metal band of all time.

Rock n Roll from about 1955 - 1965ish.

Most everything after that = Junk!

Wasn't Conway Twitty thought of as a Rock & Roll artist back in the early days?

For GUITARISTS

BASSISTS

PERCUSSIONISTS:

I think either Rock n' Roll or Rockabilly.

Wait, what?

Pretty much an oxymoron
