Western Rock vs JRock

[iPhantom]

Ok I hope this kind of thread hasn't been made already... and I actually searched but the search list is @_@... needs days to be checked.

So yeah, which do you prefer, Western Rock (American and Europe Bands) or JRock bands. I clearly see some people here have come due to their love of Japanese music while some others not. And it's a great debate.

I'd love to see videos of JRock music as well, examples why it's better, as I don
t have much knowledge of how it is (I've checked only big artists like Miyavi and such).

Oh and this includes all subgenres (metal, punk, even emo) etc. for both rock and jrock.

i have to vote for western rock because of it's origins.but i very much respect the love and talent of j-rockers!!!!!

Western Rock.

There's some good Jmusic, but not really good rock.

The West has Chuck Berry, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones... and that's just a small selection from only my music folder, and that's just the Classic Rock genre!

I'll take my DragonForce and Blind Guardian over J-rock ;] But there is some good J-rock out there.

I've never been able to listen to western rock. Ever! Gah, it's so.....wait

I'd rather not bash it, that would be rude and thoughtless. However, I'd pick JRock over western rock anyday.

Rock music for the win!

mhm... I agree that old western rock has music that will never and ever be replaced. How about current rock or especially newcomers...

For modern rock, the ball's still in the West's court. I mean, we've got Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Interpol, The White Stripes, The Cure, and a really thriving Indie scene.

I like both. I like J-rock a little more because it's different than what I am used to, plus I love the Japanese language.
