"Destroy Rock & Roll" is a song by British electronic musician Mylo. It was released as the second single from his debut album of the same name. Produced by Mylo, the song samples the recording "Invocation for Judgement Against and Destruction of Rock Music", released in 1984 by Elizabeth Clare Prophet and her New Age organization Church Universal and Triumphant. Samples from the recording make up the entirety of the song's vocal track, which explicitly lists several popular 1980s musicians and bands. The track peaked at #15 on the UK Singles Chart, and also reached the top 40 on the Finnish singles charts.
The song's accompanying music video depicts Mylo in a large white room spraying graffiti art depicting symbols, pictures, or the names of the artists mentioned on the track.
