It's all a matter of one's perspective. I can't see enough difference between early rock and roll - Hank Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and sixties rock and roll Bob Dylan, The Who, Velvet Underground, early Stones and Patti Smith, the Clash and the Ramones to justify an additional musical genre. It's all rock and roll to my ears. Going the other way I do see enough differences between this genre and Elvis, the Beatles, Grand Funk, Kiss and the hair bands of the eighties to have a seperate genre for this type music.I know it's all a matter of how one looks at things but it seems more right to me to label Hank Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the Who, Bob Dylan, VU, Patti Smith, Clash and the Ramones as rock bands. Elvis, the Beatles, Grand Funk, Kiss, hair bands and the wimpy asexual bands commonly associated with punk can all be classified as pop rock or something else.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
