Is Toto cock rock? I don’t think so, more like soft-rock or wuss-rock although I need to understand why.
Is Poison cock rock? or Motley crue?

To an extent - they were probably cock rock before cock rock was cock rock. Too many songs about hobbits and not enough songs about vaginas to really fit the mold though… then again they did once shriek that they were going to give us every inch of their love, so maybe…

Not that they were particularly subtle, but I tend to think of cock rock as even less subtle…

ITT - people mistaking hair metal for cock rock
Cock rock was a 60s/70s term to separate it out from teen pop stuff

strongly disagree
fair point.
But, they needed a term to distinguish between zep and the beatles?
It would appear you are correct. Wikipedia opens with a big ol’ picture of Led Zeppelin. I have been subgenre-ing wrong my whole life.

so, not cock rock?
Yeah, I had never thought of Led Zep as cock rock, but then the article goes on to say it’s become synonymous with hair metal too, which is what I think of. The likes of Motley Crue for sure. Don’t think I’ve ever said cock rock out loud, might try it later.
