No. There's Christian rock. Anyway, the Bible says to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. It doesn't specify what kind of noise. It even talks about the clashing of cymbals and the playing of stringed instruments.
Psalm 66
1Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
Psalm 150
1 Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD.

In the early 1950's, Cleveland disc jockey Allan Freed, revolutionized the music world by coining the term "Rock n Roll" which he borrowed from a ghetto term for sexual fornication.
In an interview with David Bowie in Rolling Stone magazine (Feb. 12, 1976):
"Rock has always been THE DEVIL'S MUSIC . . . I believe rock and roll is dangerous . . . I feel we're only heralding SOMETHING EVEN DARKER THAN OURSELVES."
In the cover song, "The Prince", Metallica openly sang:
"Angel from below . . .
I WISH TO SELL MY SOUL . . .
DEVIL TAKE MY SOUL
with diamonds you repay
I don't care for heaven
so don't you look for me to cry
AND I WILL BURN IN HELL
from the day I die."
Rock star, Marilyn Manson, proudly boasts:
"Hopefully, I’ll be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity." (Spin, August 1996, p. 34)
In Smash Hits magazine, Bon Jovi says:
" . . . I'd kill my mother for rock and roll. I WOULD SELL MY SOUL."
Rock n' Roll music is anything but godly, as testified by the icons of this music genre (secular or Christian alike, there no difference anyway). So what do you think? You are what you feed yourself, and that includes music.

Rock ,n Roll, does not make you ungodly unless there are dirty words , or sexual innuendos in it. Make sure the lyrics are clean. Dont pollute your mind with evil lryics.

I don't believe so. Some preachers will claim that rockn'roll is the devils music but i don't believe that is true. As long as your conscience is clear that is what matters.

All music is good not all the words are. If you are a Christian ask youself, would Jesus listen to it ( only the words I mean) all music is good.

Rock stems back to devil worship....and the lyrics aren't very pure most of the time. If you want to please God and follow His way, you may not want to listen to that kind of music.
