Does rock have to have meaning, or can it just be fun?

[smartvoter]

I can't recall who said it, but someone said once that for every U2, you need a Van Halen to keep it light.

What do you think?

1. It can be both,and on the same album.

Nothing wrong with that.

[enigmatic]

2. Yes

For every Bob Dylan, you need The Kingsmen. Rock N Roll is a true Ying/Yang of balance at it's best; Balance is the key.

[The Traveler]

3. And they were right! (n/t)

4. If an artist tells some reporter the meaning of a song, fine....

Otherwise, let's just rock.

To people listening backwards to find "Satanic Messsages". Stop you morons!!!!

Let's rock....

Dimmu Borgir are my heroes

7. That's as it should be.....

No need to have secret stuff embedded where the average listener misses it. :evilgrin:
