Rock and Roll

Over the years, since the real start of Rock and Roll, there have been more rock bands than I can count to. But if we look back, the start of it is what really matters. The changes in music, although, a bit odd for people, were extremely appealing and since its danceable, it is no surprise it caught on like it did. There was also the guitars and distortion and new sounds that sound incredibly well and a bit exciting. But, I think, the most important part for Rock and roll's success was that singers and members of bands had the life that every guy wanted to have. As almost every single band was on drugs, alcohol, had girls and everything and they became idols or role models.

There are so many precursors to rock and roll, that is hard to talk about all of them or choose who really was the most influential. In any case, the influences came from experimental music which appealed to a not very classy section of society. Naturally, Elvis Presley comes forward because, from him everything afterwards in rock.

But finally, with the Beatles and then the beach boys, Bod Dylan, the Rolling stones and Elvis, of course, Rock and roll, was settled in, everyone was now used to it, almost everyone liked it, and competition began.
