Best Rock Music Genres
Alternative rock is a style of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. In this instance, the word "alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream rock music. Best rock genre because alt rock has a lot of experiment and variety in it. The definition of Avant-Garde.
Yes this is the best rock genre.With some good subgenres like Alternative Metal and Grunge.-TheCoolGuy1
Best genre ever
Hard Rock is a subgenre of rock music known for having heavier guitar riffs/solos. It originated around 1964-1965 with various Garage Rock bands. Led zepellin, deep purple, acdc, queen, metallica, van halen, hendrix? Should be number 1
Hard Rock is amazing
Should be at number 1
Progressive rock is a broad genre of rock music that developed in the United Kingdom and United States throughout the mid to late 1960s. Just some of them that make the history with the prog rock: Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Yes, Chicago and more!
You know this is the best because of the lyrics, the sound, the various types of music mixed in (normally folk, jazz, classical etc...) it's just a way of an expression of clever sounds and experimenting with various tecniques, for example: Moon Child by King Crimson is one of the best songs in the entire album, also, the part "The Illusion" is like a conversation with instruments. The Pop musick will never beat the Progressive Rock!
Prog Is The real .. Prog Metal/rock just "rocks"!
examples :
ProgMetal: Dream Theater, Tool etc
ProgRock: King Crimson, Wishbone Ash, Pink Floyd etc
Pink Floyd
Rush
King Crimson
Yes
Genesis
Kansas
Yeah, this genre is definitely my favourite!
Punk rock is a subgenre of rock music. It usually has rebellious lyrics and down stroked power chords played on guitars. Bad Religion, Sex Pistols, and Green Day (actually pop-punk, which is still punk in a way) are a few punk rock bands. The subgenre influenced thrash metal because of it's down stroked guitar playing and other factors. The best! It describes the world's problems in it's face and is not hindered by mainstream bull crap.
All punk is is pop with barley any backbone of rock
Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is a subgenre of alternative rock and a subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s. Grunge should definitely be top 3. Iconic Vocalists like Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley & Chris Cornell. Iconic, bone chilling songs like Jeremy by Pearl Jam, and Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. Criminally underrated genre and music
This was so hard to choose from! But, all other awesome subgenres aside, bands like Audioslave, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Soundgarden influenced my decision.
Grunge should be in the top 3 nirvana was Grunge and come on everyone likes nirvana.
Heavy Metal music is a sub-genre of rock music that originated in the late 1960s-70s, featuring more distorted and heavier instrumental work and darker lyrical themes. Heavy Metal broke into mainstream success with bands such as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Metallica.Other notable Heavy Metal bands include Judas Priest, Anthrax, Testament, System of a Down, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Avenged... read more
Through the gates of hell as we make our way to heaven through the nazi lines. Primo Victoria.
metal should be at number 2
Psychedelic Rock is a style of rock music in the late 1960s where it is incorporated, influenced or inspired by psychedelic culture which revolves around the perception of hallucinogenic drugs. It is incorporated with improvisation, electronic sound effects and extended solos. It carries a greater emotion than the other genres. It feels like a continuous sigh of emotion
Pop rock is a form of rock music where it emphasises more on recording craft and songwriting than the attitude. Commonly known as an alternative to rock and roll. How is this number 1? This sucks
This should be in the top too
Blues rock is a fusion genre combining elements of blues and rock. It is mostly an electric ensemble-style music with instrumentation similar to electric blues and rock: electric guitar, electric bass, and drums, often with Hammond organ. Best sound from rock by far. Just watch Eric Clapton...
The sound is super vibey. Very easy to get into, very hard to get out."

None of the bands there, at least on first page are rock n roll.
THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE! So many rock legends like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Doors, etc. were a part of this genre! WHY ISN'T THIS FIRST?!
This explains why users who don't know much about rock shouldn't dmake rock-lists
Emo is a style of rock music characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. Definitely the best, especially when mixed with Math rock. (We're not talking about pop rock or indie pop here, by the way. We're talking SDRE, Jawbreaker, Mineral, American Football, and revival acts such as TWIABP, Pianos Become The Teeth, football, etc., Tiny Moving Parts, and Foxing.
Should be higher. Like at least in top 7. Great lyrics. Decent music. What else do you want?
Alternative metal is a music genre that infuses heavy metal with influences from alternative rock and other genres normally associated with metal.
