Locklyn likes rock music

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! We are doing a whole 180 and going from movies to music! This week is rock music. Now, rock music is a wideeeee genre from Queen to Metallica to Nirvana to Slipknot <3. They’re all rock and I love them. They fall under many different subgenres like heavy metal, nu-metal, punk rock, hard rock, and so on. Anyways, special thanks to my Mom for my music taste (because it’s way more than just rock). Anyways, let’s talk about some of my favorite rock bands from the 70s and up because if I were to add 50’s and 60’s this list would be way too long!
