A band that plays rock (see band). I had a go at citing rockband but couldn't, or rather, it might be citable in Dutch and in German as Rockband, but the only English citation I could find talks about climbing a rockband - a band of rocks! Mglovesfun (talk) 19:27, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- I think we should keep this term. More analysis is required. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:20, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- Do tell us when you've done the analysis then. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:55, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- I will, of course, for the moment I'm just adding my subjective opinion on the term, encouraging others to do the same. Both "rock band" and "rock group" have been borrowed by other languages in full, as one word. I'm surprised if "rockband" is not citable but I haven't checked myself. The term is defined in Collins and other dictionaries. I think it's a word, just don't have any stronger arguments handy, if that's not enough. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:12, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

- What's the difference between rock band and rock group? — This unsigned comment was added by Atitarev (talk • contribs).
- rock group is nothing nothing more than rock + group, rock band on the other hand is a little more idiomatic because band is limited as to which types of music groups it can refer to. --WikiTiki89 00:28, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
