It all comes back again and some times again and again and again. We thought we would never hear another Disco song escape the 70 s, but that style made a brief reappearance in the mid 90 s. About every 10 years we hear the people in the know pronounce that rock is dead and the current trend at the time had killed it. But low and behold rock returns to the mainstream of popularity and never seemed stronger. While styles like the current brand of pop come and go, rock never really goes totally out of style.
Lets face it, rock runs much deeper than most pop music.
It has staying power. While it may not be selling in the multi-platinum ranges, it still sells enough to keep the record industry interested. This is due in a great part to the integrity of the music itself and the devotion of the fans. No. 1 selling album for example, The Beatles 1 . Yup, it was the Beatles with Anthology .
