Completely Normal Guy: At least dance-pop is, you know, danceable. Outside of many Paul Simon songs, "American Pie", and "Love The One You're With" I can't think of any 70s folk-rock songs that even so far as get me out of my chair.

It's danceable, but it all sounds the same.
Just awesome like that
Folk and folk rock isn't exactly supposed to be danceable.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.
There are mannequins that dance better than I. I don't care if it's danceable or not.
hi
This really isn't the place for a this genre is better than this kinda argument but
Dance pop >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 70s folk rock
Also nobody really has a right to insist dance pop all sounds the same and then somehow defend folk rock, lol
yeah man lowercase
Just awesome like that
They're two very different genres intended for two very different audiences. Let's just leave it at that, okay?

Apparition in the Woods
Although I do share many of Thwise's sentiments, I must concur with this.
@Erock: Inane would kill you if he heard you calling d'n'b a dead horse genre. Like, he would cut off bits of you and feed them to stray cats. It would be ugly.
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.

Progressive rock, of course. While there are some recent-ish albums of high quality (the new Änglagård album, for example), they are the exception to the rule, and the genre has ceased to innovate (and no, I don’t consider prog-metal, Spock’s Beard’s “prog-meets-80s-arena-anthems” or Porcupine Tree’s “prog-meets-90s-landfill-indie” to be innovations). In spite of what many pretentious fans would have you believe. Not to mention some of the musicians themselves.
That song was written and recorded in 1976. Oh, the irony! ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

Tbqh I think progressive rock more or less hit its high point pretty early on into its existence and it's kind of hard to innovate after you more or less rewrite the book of how to write rock songs.
Only Death Is Real
hi
There needs to be a broader doo-wop revival in the near future

Just go to an oldies show and try not to get depressed. Believe me, I've been to plenty, and some of them aren't pretty.
I like Nu-Metal. Not the backwards hat-wearing rap rubbish but the more imaginative end of it which sadly gets forgotten along with the stuff that actually deserves to be forgotten.
Taproot, (Early) Cold, American Head Charge, Flaw, Dry Cell, Deftones (YMMV I know), Falling Up (I'm no Christian but they're ridiculously uplifting), Memento, Mudvayne... these are all good bands!
Wide Eyed Wonderman
Rock n' roll(Elvis, etc) is great....
David Bowie 1947-2016

Rock 'n roll ain't dead, man. You can't kill rock 'n roll. The early '60s tried, but it came back with a vengeance.

Death/doom, primarily in the non-pussified rotten sounding style
, hasn't had much going for it in a while but then again it never had quite as many practitioners as the more melodic/gothic stuff
Disco and funk in general. Hoping for a Renaissance, given that Daft Punk's attempt to emulate the styles of the seventies were very well met.

Psychedelic funk, man.There was never anyone quite like Parliament Funkadelic.
A Lso I freaking love early prog, those old synths sound glorious. And it's far from dead, Ayreon's making a new album.
I like Jim Croce, but not so much the others named.
