Spandau Ballet, back in the 80s. It is very well documented.

I mean, even just our contemporaries include the Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, Jack White, Dave Grohl, Radiohead, Ben Folds, among many, many others.

Way too much good rock today to call it dead. The grunge movement of the 90's tried to kill it, but rock music is too ingrained in our culture to die out.

Huh. And I would consider the 90s grunge to be an extension of rock, not something opposed to it...

Not opposed. Just really bad. I do like a lot of the music influenced by grunge, just can't stand grunge itself.
