Rock and roll music is great, and rock songs inspired by Godzilla like Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla" are too, but rock songs shouldn't be playing during an actual Godzilla movie. That role should be filled by epic orchestral music by composers like Akira Ifukube. Rock music works just fine as a tie-in for a kaiju movie, like the song "The Myth" was for Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, but it shouldn't be part of the score. In my opinion, rock and pop songs work best playing over the end credits and maybe as part of the movie's soundtrack CD releases. I don't understand what the big deal is. A Rock song playing in a Godzilla movie is just as good as an orchestra song. Besides, "Electric Funeral" is a very dark song, as is the story told in it's lyrics.
