    ROCK

    Rock music is a form of popular music with a prominent vocal melody accompanied by guitar, drums, and bass. Many styles of rock music also use keyboard instruments such as organ, piano, mellotron, and synthesizers. Other instruments sometimes utilized in rock include harmonica, violin, flute, banjo, melodica, and timpani. Also, less common stringed instruments such as mandolin and sitar are used. Rock music usually has a strong back beat, and often revolves around the guitar, either solid electric, hollow electric, or acoustic.

    RAP

    Rapping (also known as emceeing, MCing, spitting, or just rhyming) is the rhythmic spoken delivery of rhymes and wordplay, one of the elements of hip hop music and culture. Although the word rap has sometimes been claimed to be a backronym of the phrase "Rhythmic African Poetry", "Rhythm and Poetry", "Rhythmically Applied Poetry", "Rapping About Poetry," "Racing Always Pacing," or "Rhythmically Associated Poetry", use of the word to describe quick speech or repartee long predates the musical form, meaning originally "to hit". The word had been used in British English since the 16th century, and specifically meaning "to say" since the 18th. It was part of the African American dialect of English in the 1960s meaning "to converse", and very soon after that in its present usage as a term denoting the musical style.

    It's hard for me to choose the best out of these two because they're both very good.

    I like both, but I think ROCK was here first, so I'm going with that.

    When people like music. Really like musid then you can't pick just one category. Although you can pick generations of it. There is some good rap right now. But, rap has gotten in a rut. Lyrically they are beginning to suck. But, that beat keeps you listening. Rock has always been constant. I like both. But, old school rap is alot better then most of what is going on today. That is so sad! :-(

    Comeon is Rap even considered music?? It's just some reciting poetry to sampled music and revamps of old (usually rock) songs.

    My favs are:

    Ozzy
    AC/DC
    Pink Floyd
    Led Zepplin (though i've recently found out they stole most of thier music)
    Phil Colins
    John Fogherty
    Metallica (even though they soldout)
    GNR
    NIN

    Ok so I'm old...............

    personally I was always a post hardcoreish kind of person, mixed in with some alternative and indie, but lately I have become addicted to ska and reggae... most likely because of other influences and reasons.

    I LIKE BOTH BUT RAP TO ME IS A MORE CLEVER FORM OF MUSIC...(LYRICALLY).... TAKE A SONG FROM NIRVANA AND THEN TAKE A FIFTY CENT SONG

    COMPARE THE DIFFERENCE IN AMOUNT OF LYRICS BETWEEN THE TWO

    . RIGHT?? RAP HAS MUCH MORE WORDS PUT INTO THE PLOT OF THE SONG AND MOVES AT MY BEAT SOME ROCK IS SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW MONOTONOUS BUT DANGIT I LOVE ROCK TOO , BUT ALOT OF IT IS IMITATIONS OF OTHER'S TONES ...LIKE THEY ALL WANNA SOUND LIKE GREEN DAY OR BLINK WITH THE SURFER ACCENT , THATS WHY I LIKE OLDER ROCK THE GOOD STUFF ACDC AEROSMITH, ETC

    I Hate rappers because they have their heads shoved up their asses so far they cant see what a good song is and isnt all they can do is brag, brag, brag, and never about anyone else selfish sons of bitches talk about how many hoes or cars, or how they make it rain with their money, WHO GIVES A FUCK. Seriously its like a rich guy sitting next to you telling you all the things you dont have and he hangs them in front of your face just out of reach and sings about how he has possestion over it, im sick of raps bullshit! make clear understanable lyrics,soulja boy ~"super soak that hoe" what the fuck.... and thats my rant for today, have a good time and see you later. FUCK RAP
