There are plenty of great rock bands all over the U.S. and abroad.
Music is a personal choice. Many times people get stuck liking one kind of music and remain liking only that particular genre of music for the rest of their lives.
Music evolves. Sometimes people don't.
Listen to rock bands to get good ideas...
Bands make music, and music provides entertainment to others.
In some cases, rock videos have led to certain bands being labeled as 'rock bands', despite being more of a pop genre band at best. In other cases, rock videos have served to create a more serious tone when viewing their respective bands, leading back to the golden age of hard rock. TL:DR, Pro: serious tone Con: non-rock bands being called rock bands
