Also, if you know anything else about rock and roll back then, you can answer that too:)





Thanks!|||Rock and roll is a prime example of they way music effects our lives. Who knows, if Alan Freed and Leo Mintz had not started the one of the biggest raves of the 20th century, the American market may not have become what it is today; youth oriented. Rock music was aimed at the younger generation, therefore; teens and young adults became the primary consumers of rock and roll records. Teenagers were and still are more easily persuaded than adults due to lack of life experience. When teens began buying rock and roll records by the millions, other companies began advertising their products to teenagers. Rock music has played a key roll in helping to keep the American economy booming. Rock and roll has been the most popular type of music for nearly 40 years. The music that was listened to by the teens of the exciting decade of the 50's is still loved by the generation X teens of today. It cannot be argued the Dick Clark explained it best when he said, The beat of the Fabulous 50's goes on!|||Popularityof late 50's R%26amp;R was a respons to the up tight post war constipated conformity of the time.


Got a little freedom of expression going as well as social change.


Reflected the climate of the times as does music in general.


Kids were cutting loose %26amp; 'exploring"just as they did in the 20's %26amp; 30's.


Personally did not care for early R%26amp;R ,doo-wop or Elvis for that matter.


60's rock %26amp; R%26amp;B is another story ; still around %26amp; going strong .


Young adult then %26amp; aside from nostalgia is the best in my opinion for the same reasons as early Rock; a reflection of the times.


Far as I'm concerned, not too much going on since then.


Best regards|||Clash and Led were 20 years later. Bill Haley and the Comet's "Rock Around the Clock" was one of the first "rock" songs. Soon, Rock and Country were mixing as Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presely were on tour- together! What a show that would have been!|||The clash was one of the number one influences, it wasnt necessarily rock but it set the stage for defiance in future music like rage against the machine.





And Led Zeppelin, but words cant describe the influence of led.


Hahahaha|||Rock and Roll created a time where black music was sung by white singers. It kind of brought the races together ...(ELvis is an example) Besides that because of that is the reason we have this music today|||It set the stage for music today!!|||depending on your age your parents or maybe even you were conceived while rock was playing!|||no have no idea.|||i was born:)
