Is rock and roll only from the 50's and 60's? or can it be from any time period?

what exactly is rock and roll?


i have to find at least 3 examples of it for my history of rock and roll class ..


so .. do u think i could use .. i dunno .. the click five or the beach boys as an example?|||Yes. The term "Rock-and-Roll" was first used in 1951 by Alan Freed, a Cleveland disc jockey.





What it is... go with the Wikipedia info.





You can pick your examples from the list here:

If it were me, I'd have Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Little Richard on that list.





The Beach Boys came a bit later, and you could certainly use them as an example, but I'd rather see The Beatles or the Rolling Stones on there.





Kabum|||The terms 'Rock Music' and 'Rock and Roll' encompass so many different sub genres; Blues Rock, Rockabilly, Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Acid Rock, Progressive Rock, Jazz/Rock (fusion), Punk Rock, etc. But in general, it's all 'Rock and Roll'. Even Heavy Metal, EMO, Goth etc are all forms of Rock and Roll. I'm not a big fan of Wikipedia, but in this case they are correct;


Here is a list of all 'Rock' sub genres:
