No one has mentioned the most original rock band, The Who.

Yeah listen to contemporary "country/western" is almost all rock. I miss Hank, George and Patsy.It’s a little hard to believe when someone says they don’t like such a broad genre such as rock or classical. There so many different (related) styles there’s bound to be some album/artists or piece of music at least “likeable” out there — that could still be called rock or classical etc. even though to one’s mind they may not sound like stereotypically belonging to the group at first.
I’ve always wanted to enjoy prog. Even the new prog by Steve Wilson. As much as I try it just doesn’t register.I suggest you to dive in progarchives where you can find other sub genres to navigate due to your taste.
I love it, it's fun.The only rock I don’t like is metal with growled lyrics.
That's a great record, but death metal metallica is not.S&M (album) - Wikipedia

What do you listen to now?what are the main rock genres and which sub-genres of songs do you post, I want to understand if I like something?
thank you
Metallica went commercial and changed from metal to some form of commercialized stuff when they went big on Enter Sandman. Before that is the original Metallica.I love it, it's fun.

True, but still - Metallica is two steps or so removed from death metal. Metallica->Slayer, Kreator, Sodom->Death, Morbid Angel, Obituary.Metallica went commercial and changed from metal to some form of commercialized stuff when they went big on Enter Sandman. Before that is the original Metallica.
Odd comparison since the Pistols were pretty much 99% warmed up Chuck Berry riffs ... ;-)you can put both Chuck Berry and The Sex Pistols under it even though they do not sound anything alike
To be sure you don't like rock I'd have a listen to:
Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin
Jimmy Hendrix Experience: Are You Experienced?
The Doors: The Doors
Black Sabbath: Black Sabbath
Steely Dan: Countdown to Ecstasy
The Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers
Jethro Tull: Aqualung
If you don't find anything in that lot that floats your boat then it's safe to say you don't like Rock.
Lots here will be into prog including myself. Thought Yes was the greatest band ever cause they could actually play an instrument and they had time changes and compositions like more cerebral artists. I can see why critiques of prog don’t like it. The artists can get a bit lost in some grand thematic instead of just cranking out something fun about having sex with a hot teacher like Van Halen. Either works depending on my wife’s mood I suppose.
so these would probably be some of the canonical rock singers of my generation....
