I am posting a few cases of Cd's I have pulled from my store. Just what years are the Early Rock & Roll category? To me maybe anything in the 50's. Is anything in the 60's Early Rock & Roll? or is that just classic?

I'd say fifties Mah, but then again, I am not really so sure that didnt include some 60ties as well?

Hopefully classicrock will have a definitive answer for you if he sees this post.

I think 1954 Rock around the Clock by Alex Haley and the Comets. Blackboard Jungle was the Movie. Elvis did some around that time also for sun records. Blue Swede Shoes etc.

There was still some in the early 60's then it became Hard Rock.

I think the 1950's are early rock and roll and that the 1960's are classified as classic rock and roll. The tone definately changed by the time you got to the 60's. Then by the 1970's, my all time favorite era for music, you had hard rock. The 80's and 90's produced more dance music and heavy metal. JMO!

You are correct in assuming the the 50's were
early rock n roll.Libra is also correct about Bill Halleys record Rock Around The Clock was considered the first rock and roll record.It was recorded in a deserted ball room on 10th ave in New York city in 1954.When it was first released it did nothing-it actually became a hit when the movie Blackboard Jungle came out-with Glen Ford,Sidney Poiter and Vic Morrow.So basically anything in the 50' would be considered early rock.The 60's were considered an non entity-no classification was really given.The classic rock and roll is really the 70's with E.L.O.,C.C.R.Billy Joel,Bob Seger,The Carpenters,Chicago,Neil Diamond,Abba,Bee Gees,John Denver, Captain and Tenielle, Moody Blues, Glen Campbell,Eagles,Heart,Little River Band Fleetwood Mac,Steve Miller Band and a host of others could hardly be considered "hard rock" It was considered "classic rock" because it was so diversed. Like Cheryl, it was also my favorite era.However there were some hard rock bands like the Who who also flourished during the 70's.Just a note-all off the fore mentioned bands I have seen at least once in concert.

What a combination that is. They have run some of the Cowsills songs on some of these CDs that have mixed artist. I was playing one the other night that had the song Hair on it. Everytime I hear the song "You Belong to Me" I think of the book Mary Higgins Clark wrote. They had that movie on the other night.

classic

You are leaving out Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Aerosmith, etc. That was hard rock 70's style, IMO. I love Black Sabbath. Great Vietnam war songs! Ozz fest is a real treat when he bothers to show up. I just noticed that my Killer Queen album is a Not for Resale demo! My father worked for a TV station at the time and used to get a lot of demo albums for me. Too bad it's been played to death and isn't in the greatest of shape.

Partridge Family! I remember having a crush on David Cassidy.

Now you've got Indian Lake stuck in my head. Just what I needed.

classic, The 60's were considered an non entity-no classification was really given...

I dont understand how the 60ties were considered non-entity-no classification. They were integral to the hippy drug induced era. Geeze, didnt you watch forest gump?

db-thats not a knock on the 60's-its just that nobody has ever really given it a name of its own or classified it as anything.I like a lot of the 60's because I grew up in highschool in the 60-lots of good groups if you were around then-Stones-Beatles-D.C.5 etc.The only term I hear about the 60's is "the turbulent 60's"
which has nothing to do with music.Hell we had the greatest rock concert of our time in the 60's which was woodstock-which will never be duplicated.

Myself I like the early Rock and Roll. But I would classify most of the 60's as Hard Rock. And Woodstock that's another topic all in it's own.

classic, yeh, i guess so. Just never heard it referred to that way and surprised to think there was/is no classification for it?

I once bought a huge encyclopedia of rock n roll (some history giant size type book like that) so I might have something to say thats revelent...but of course, I hardly flipped thru it, and that never happened...nor me having anything revelent to say...lol. But I think I would have been better off learning meteorological terms. At least then I could hit it off with sparkz and talk doppler and stuff ...j/k lol!


p.s.: Classic, did Scott Muni pass away>? And if so, how long ago was that?

How about psychedelic rock? That would certainly fit the '60's especially if you view some of the album covers and posters (now worth mega bucks) from back then.

Naw, I'm not mad at anyone. I get mad at the comments, not the people behind them.

Hey, I actually slept until 7:30 today! That's sleeping in for me so I guess I got my rest. Besides, I thought I saw a big bright ball in the sky this morning and upon further investigation, I determined it's the sun and nothing to take cover over afterall.

Classic you are about two weeks late for the Incense and Peppermints. That was when I posted the song in the round table

And whats the matter, you live in NY and you never heard of Scott Muni? The fifth beatle or something he was?

Ralphie says that Pete Best was the 5th Beatle???

OTOH: according to him, Alice Cooper is really Eddie Haskell...

rofl tomwillie!!

Actually this guy wasn't known as the fifth beatle (but I thought I heard that thrown around somewhere)..he was, however, very influential in the early days of rock and roll in NY and maybe elsewhere. (Or, so they say. That was a little before my time.)

db-sorry I missed on answering you-I listened to Scott Muni all the time.However I haven't heard that he passed away.The "fifth beatle" you are referring to was a D.J. called Murray Kaufman who was also very big along with Alan Fried in N.Y.Murry Kaufman's sthick was "Murray the K on the swinging sioree" His claim to fame also was the invention of "submarine race watching" which was actually couples in parked cars making out.He claimed himself as the "5th beatle" for what reason I don't know,but it stuck. I know Pete Best was also know as the 5th Beatle,the drummer before Richard Starkey.

Oh yes, classic you are correct. I have mixed up my Alan Fried with my Scott Muni. lol
And here I thought I had nothing revelent to say!

edit to add: I dont know either classic. Since I left NY so many years ago, I thought the last I had heard he was very sick? I should google it and see what I come up with. Maybe I will.
