rock 'n' roll

A type of contemporary music that came out of blues, or more likely rhythm & blues (R&B). The addition of country & western music completed the formula that forwarded this "new" music to its own dimension.

Elvis & Jerry Lee Lewis are the best example of original Rock 'n'Roll while Little Richard & Fats Domino are good examples of where the music came from.

Rock 'n Roll

Music that started in the 1950's. Mix the blues or rhythm & blues with 2 or more of the following: country, swing, gospel, jazz, ummm... there's more but fuck it.

Basically any music with a good beat, soul, and a wild, raw feel to it. But it gotta be up-beat and have some blues in it. Whoever wrote that other definition is a fuckin' idiot.

P.S. "Hits" don't dictate what's good or bad. The people running the radio stations don't know shit.

Chuck Berry - "Sweet Little Sixteen"
Jerry Lee Lewis - "Great Balls of Fire"
