it depends really. elvis brought it more mainstream, without elvis there'd need to be another white guy to bring it along. And even with black people influences there's also country mixed up in there. I guess you could debate the origins of rock music (rockabilly) for a while, but the beatles aren't anywhere near creating rock music. It's not even a totally different sound to things before it, so it's a bit dumb to confuse it with creating rock and roll or whatever.

"Rock around the clock" by Haley and the Comets is what brought Rock and Roll to the mainstream, reaching #1 in the US and putting rock on the map world wide.

Elvis's first single "That's all Right (Mama)" came out later that year.

Robert Johnson started it, Elvis stole it.

I doubt Elvis even knew who Robert Johnson was.

Not Robert Johnson specifically, he stole from quite a good many black musicians.

If I remember correctly, Elvis didn't even wrote any of his songs. But otherwise he had A huge influence on rock culture. I'd say that he was more like a messenger than a creator.

How a bout something that reaches the drag queens like "Pirate Bunnies"

or you can just slap tow or three random words together to make a name like " Popcicle Chair Book" or "Toothpaste Bicycle"

The random word thing would work better for album titles.

How about NWG -"Niggaz w' Guitars"

The Chuckberries

Leave it to Shaved Beaver

Mojoheddine

cum junkies

pigs vs hippies
