To me, Rock'n'Roll should be:
1950's Rock'n'Roll - with some cross over into the 1960's rock'n'roll, although by this time it's a bit of a grey area, as it was branching out into pop / psych / soul etc- But for arguments sake, let's accept some 1960's.
Then 1970s - Certainly NOT rock'n'roll - Perhaps the bands springing up on the retro bandwagon should be included. Ditto for the 1980s and running up to date. so bands like Big Boy Bloater, Sugar Ray Ford, Dynamite Band, would fit into that category, but surely just 70's - 90's pop like Men at Work, J.Giels Band and so on ....Well that's just not rock'n'roll.
What do you think?
