Just curious.

I guess you mean more special than ©rap?

I'm actually an old school rocker, Deep Purple/Mothers Finest/Iron Maiden/ACDC kinda rock.
But even nowadays there are still good bands, Dave Matthews/ Porcupine tree/Pearl Jam.

What makes Rock special?
Well good rock is really timeless music. It doesn't age. If i listen to Yes or AC DC it could have been a brand new band. It is like hearing Mozart! I doubt that 20 years from now someone will play snoop dogg/ Notorius B/eminem or whoever because it is so good, so timeless

Alright, thanks for your answer.

i like rock better.. usually there is more music then singing in rock, as in rap it's mostly about the lyrics and the singing

Depends on where you look for the rap, mainstream/commercial rap sure sounds like that most of the time. However it is not hard to find people that rap about other things, I have found quite a lot of it. Not that I like all of it. Just that it is there.
