Ah, well, yes.
As to today, I don't listen to that much rock as such, but have a
fondness for a number of singers, especially women, like Lucinda
Williams, for example. Natalie Merchant. Etc.
Here's another 'choice':
much as I love Bob Dylan I listen more often to Van Morrison....
Of course, in fact, it isn't really an absolute choice, but it does
have something to do with what I actually purchase, as opposed to
listen to when it comes along on the very good alternate station, CKUA
(available worldwide on the web) here...
