Kind of begs the question (that I've asked myself many times) "what is rock?" Is it defined technically (e.g., a certain bpm range, strong backbeat, 3-5 minutes), is it high energy dance music, is it rebellion against your parents music, is it a genre through which sex is inexorbably if not explicity wound? All of those things taken together? Or is it like life or, as Justice Stewart famously wrote of pornography - "can't define it but I know it when I see [hear] it."
