The same could be said of many modal approaches to jazz harmony. Just
because the harmonic conventions are different than traditional
dominant/tonic resolutions in no way negates the tonality of the music. It's
perfectly obvious that there is a tonal center to any of this (rock) music.
In fact, the problem is that in most instances, it's TOO obvious.
