Revisionism -- well, yes -- people always used to be told that it was "C'est le roc".

Then people discovered that the translation didn't make sense, e.g. using Babelfish "C'est le roc" => "It is the rock".

The new phrase "C'est rock" => It is rock'n'roll.
Of course "C'est le rock" => It is the rock'n'roll.

You'd have to ask a distinctly more Gallic person than I which is the correct phrase.
