There's two kinds of rock n' roll casualty: the one that has huge success and adoration, and then suddenly it stops. Or there's when you're in a band: it is all-consuming, so then you have the dream of that, and then the dream's taken away from you even before it happens. (Rhys Ifans)

There's always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic '60's and '70's rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we're sort of the anatomy of a '70's rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul music from the '50's and '60's.

Taylor Hanson

Slip inside the eye of your mind / don't you know you might find / A better place to play So I'll start a revolution from my bed / Because you said the brains I had went to my head. Please don't put you're life in the hands / Of a rock 'n' roll band / Who'll throw it all away.

Noel Gallagher

And love lies bleeding in my hand. Oh it kills me to think of you with another man. I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan. But my guitar couldn't hold you, So I split the band. Love lies bleeding in my hands.

Elton John

She gets rock n roll, a rock n roll station And a rock n roll dream. She's making movies on location. She don't know what it means. But the music make her wanna be the story. And the story was whatever was the song, what it was. Rollergirl don't worry. D. J. plays the movies all night long.

Mark Knopfler

I think about it sometimes, but it definitely doesn't bother me because genres are meant to last and we're a rock 'n roll band and screamo, emo, grunge, punk, prog ... it s still rock 'n roll to me. I think that we're four really talented dudes, and I'm ready to take on the whole world. I'm not afraid.
