Is Rock Dead? 6 Acts That Could Save Rock?

Miles Davis declared Jazz is dead (it’s) the music of a museum. Frank Zappa said Jazz isn’t dead. It just smells funny. How about rock music?

Anyway I don’t care whether certain music styles are dead. On the contrary, I only care about bands which play emotional and passionate music. I mean, music that really feels alive and speaks to me.

So how about the six rock bands I picked up. If you like them, try to see them live. Because, as you know, live music is always alive!
