Rock Is Dead Part 2

Submitted by Samantha Stephens on Sun, 10/22/2006 - 1:47pm.
This is sorta from the first rock is dead thread that I posted which by the way was the very first post I ever made her way back about a year ago.

Anyways in the recent edition of American Heritage there is an article about the year 1964 and how that year was the "real" start of the 60's.  The article started out saying that before the Beatles and before 1964 rock music was bland pop and the charts were dominated by teen idols and pop novelties.  Wrong so wrong.   
Lets see here
Girl groups/Brill Building Pop
Surf/Instro
Motown
Stax
The Four Seasons
Doo Wop
Ray Charles, Solomon Burke, Jackie Wilson Sam Cooke, Irma Thomas, The Drifters, Etta James, The Impressions, Gene Pitney, Roy Orbison, Del Shannon, Gary U.S. Bonds

yeah rock was so dead in the early 60's.

I dont think so as you can see
