You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

"Rock" encompasses quite a bit of music we may not think of at first. But defining "rock" by the conventional sense, in no order, AT THE MOMENT:

Ezy Rider -- Jimi Hendrix

Purple Haze -- Jimi Hendrix

Machine Gun (live at Fillmore) -- Jimi Hendrix

Hell's Bells -- AC/DC

bodysnatchers -- Radiohead

Breed -- Nirvana

E-Pro -- Beck

Ghetto Love -- Spinerette

Omegaman -- The Police

Revolution -- the Beatles

Only the Hendrix songs don't fall off at any given time.
