What Happend To The Roll In Rock N' Roll?

Glam rock bands began the idea that image sells before the music sells.

Look at bands like Dr.Dog and the Constantines. Rock and Roll exactly as it should be. But they are just regular guys. So they still work their full time jobs and record their incredible albums when they get the chance. Put on some make up, create a gimmick and youre the greatest band ever. Fuck you Motley Crue. Your songs were **** anyways.

Led Zeppelin had it right when they didnt put pictures with their albums, because they thought the music should sell, not the way they look.

If you want rock and roll, turn off the radio. There is tons of new bands that are playing that old fashioned style. Check out The Black Keys, The Constantines, Dr.Dog and The Hold Steady. Keepin the spirit alive indeed.

Keep your ears open.
