Of course we do, Susan. The kind of music I am referring to has really been around since Gene Vincent recorded "Be-Bop-A-Lu-La", although it didn't really hit its full stride until the late 60's when it pretty well took over for awhile.

Show me a male who is 50 now who was not exposed to this kind of music. Show me one who did not at least partially meet the description "frustrated, pimply, horny, lonely adolescent male" at one time.

It is a fact that most teenage boys are mysteriously drawn to music that expresses inchoate hostility and has a heavy beat. I wonder why? Well, they are in a situation where they feel powerless and oppressed by their parents, their school system, and the older world in general, where they don't have enough money, and can't find a girlfriend or get anyone to take them seriously. Why wouldn't they be frustrated and angry?

Now, I recently saw the movie "Rock School", and it was great! It was all about the kind of music I'm talking about here, and the kind of guys I'm talking about...and it was darned funny, and actually enlisted one's sympathy for these lads, living out their fantasies of male grandeur through loud music. Downright hilarious.

If you can't see the amusing and enlightening possibilities in putting together a list of the most classic songs in this genre, you may be the very thing those youngsters were legitimately protesting against! :-)
