If Like a Rolling Stone is considered rock...
I don't know, that's kind of my point. I feel like it needs to be more hard driving. Like a Rolling Stone was pop/oldies imo, just like most of the 60s besides late 60s Stones, Zep, MAYBE Beatles, The Birds, The Who, CCR, Jimi, etc. I don't actually feel strongly about any of this, that's just my stance on rock. I don't feel like rock truly took hold until the '70s.

Clearly this is all just me being a bitch about the definition of rock. Don't mind me, I'm just out here trying to have a good time.

What is the definition of blues? (Utilization of the blues scale, imo. Minor or major. This one seems clear.)
What is the definition of oldies? (3 or 4 chord progressions? Typically using I IV V VI chords? The II chord is hot too. I don't know.)
What is the definition of pop? (The same?)
What is the definition of rock? (Plugged in bass and guitar? Driving rhythms?)
Major scales? Minor scales? Pentatonic scales? Mixolydian modes?
I don't know the answers. I only have guesses and my geetar.
And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing.

I did a pretty deep dive into The Cream last night, and IMO they have 3 (out of four), but "Goodbye" just doesn't cut it, even though it has Badge, which IFL…(shout out to "L'Angelo Misterioso")

We're overthinking it here, bud. Just go with the flow.
I too have guitars that I play (poorly).

Yeah but Kurt was an Aberdeen lad. Hard to trust em. Granny was an innocent Hoquiam gal, then Gramps, son of a loggerman, rolls through Aberdeen HS in his one of ten homes before he was 18, meets this Hoquiam bitch, then he leaves for Olympia, graduates Olympia HS playing LG at like 160 (this is my mom's side, I'm like 380 cuz dad ;-)), then he goes off to war as a pharmacist in the Navy, stationed at Pearl Harbor. His rotation ends 2 weeks before the attack, he comes back home, reunites with that Hoquiam slut, Granny, somehow, one thing led to another, and here I am.
And then I spent my first 10 years of life in split custody, halftime in Leschi (good name for a Nirvana cover band?) right down the street from his pad. I went by Kurt and Courtney's garbage can on foot or as a passenger daily. And then he went and shot hisself. I was only like seven at the time and I've never really been a big nirvana guy. I like them more now than I did in high school. I was an outcast for my nirvana meh attitude.
What were we talking about?

Gramps also played bagpipes for the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band for 40+ years until his death. It's only a matter of time before I take up his pipes.
RIP Gramps.

Bagpipes are not rock-'n'-roll music.

Apparently you don’t listen to AC DC much.
