 | | Many early rock bands were in the vanguard of psychedelic music and the complexities arising largely led to rock music becoming a generic term broader than "rock and roll". | | | Rock band is a generic name to describe a group of musicians specialising in a particular form of electronically amplified music. | | | Deriving its name from the musical style which was its immediate progenitor, rock and roll, the type of music played by rock bands has its roots deeply steeped in both rock and roll, and its immediate forebear, rhythm and blues. |

| | Rock and roll - Wikipedia |
| | Rock and Roll is a form of popular music, usually featuring electric guitars and a strong back beat, that emerged in America in the 1950s. | | | According to some, notably music historian Peter Guralnick, the first rock and roll recording was "Rocket 88", by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats (written by 19-year-old Ike Turner) and recorded by Sam Phillips for the Chess Records label, in 1951. | | | The Rolling Stones are credited with being the first band to dispense with band uniforms. |

| | THE BRITISH POP SCENE- PART 1 |
| | The blues and rb elements of early rock 'n roll were imponderables to most teenage listeners and musicians, but the energy and the animated nature of the music was identifiable. | | | Hicks began singing and performing for his fellow merchant seamen and discovered that he had a natural ability as an entertainer, with a special affinity for country-and- western songs, and for comedy. | | | The particulars of rock 'n roll eluded many English listeners and even music professionals. |

| | Chuck Berry: Biography and Much More From Answers.com |
| | Berry is widely regarded as one of the leading pioneers of rock music, having blended the blues with country music and added a rhythm-and-blues beat, and he is thought by many to be the inventor of the rock music form. | | | Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (born October 18, 1926) is an immensely influential guitarist, singer, and composer, and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. | | | Second, and perhaps most important, America had discovered the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, both of whom based their music on Berry's style, with the Stones' early albums looking like a Berry song list. |

| | Workers World Oct. 14, 2004: 'Rock & roll' ad campaign omits Black artists |
| | When Black musicians played rock and roll, it was negatively branded as "race music." When white musicians played the same music, it was praised by music critics, resulting in millions of records sold and lucrative contracts signed. | | | Miller Lite and Rolling Stone are promoting cultural genocide that has helped to enrich the profits of the white-dominated music industry. | | | If you asked former Beatle Ringo Starr, or Jerry Lee Lewis, or, if he were alive, Elvis Presley, which artists most influenced their style of music, they would more than likely mention one or more of the legendary Black artists such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard or Fats Domino. |

| | Freed was a gutsier DJ who actually liked rock and roll and did a lot for the Black performers who gave much to the genre. | | | Yet, for the best part of four decades, from the mid-50s, he was one of the most powerful arbiters of teenage pop music tastes in the USA; his network TV show was watched by millions of youngsters. | | | Almost all of America’s new teen performers (and a few older ones) clamoured to lip-synch their would-be hits on the show, and Clark could create new dance fads overnight. |

| | The band's breakneck metal tempos and layered guitar compositions had largely been replaced by bluesy rock songs, full of bent notes, warm guitar tone, slide guitar, and shuffle and swing rhythms. | | | Inspired by bands such as Motörhead, Diamond Head and Saxon, the so-called New Wave of British Heavy Metal, as well as hardcore punk like the Misfits and Discharge, Metallica were single-minded in their desire to break the grip of soft metal on heavy metal fans. | | | Metallica's formation was seen by some fans as a direct reaction to the prevalent rock and roll music of the early 1980s. |
