Usage Note
Rock is an anglicism fully integrated into Spanish, always masculine (el rock), and typically invariable in spelling. Compounds like rock and roll or rock duro are used freely. Unlike many English loanwords, it does not take an accent mark because it ends in a consonant and carries natural stress on the sole syllable.
Examples
"Le encanta escuchar rock clásico."
Natural Translation
He loves listening to classic rock.
Literal Translation
To-him pleases to-listen-to classic rock.
