@LvnAction btw, i couldn't care less what "rolling stone" magazine, or its writers have to say (they can't spell rock'n'roll either)

[lukafafrenz]

@LvnAction the mark of a poor debater is surely "shooting the messenger" & not arguing the message -- what i "sound like"? "grade school"? pugilism is a numbers game & depends on premises like "most writers" -- fact is not a popularity contest & truth is not a function of volume -- you are no authority on the subject & your misspelling is evidence of that -- the sum of all of the works of the artists you mention do not outweigh the sole (& soul) contribution of chuck berry on his own

[LvnAction]

@rodrigoraulsuarez Rock and Roll was a series of efforts from many musical traditions. Little Richard, Skiffle, The Everly Bros., Nat King Cole, Eddie Cockran, Fats Domino, Freddy Fender, Bee Bumble and The Stingers, Louis Jordan and Louis Prima to name but a few. There are Charlie Christian jams from the 30s that are very close to Rock and Roll. I don't minimize Mr. Berry's contribution. He is a progenitor; a jumping off point for just one stylistic variation. Rock and Roll is amalgam.

[LvnAction]

@lukafafrenz I don't agree and neither do most writers on the subject. As for misspelling Cochran or the variant, (correct english spelling), of rock and roll, those are examples of grade school pettiness. Your use of the word amalgam is also absurd and bares the thinking of a poor debater. Please listen to the musicians in my list extensively, then make your opinion known. You sound more like you got your ideas from listening to Keith Richard blab about Chuck or from skimming Rolling Stone.

[lukafafrenz]

@LvnAction oh please, if your scope is wide enough then you could call anything&everything an amalgam --a butterfly flapped its wings in china back in '56, that caused a pocket of air to push molecules into 4 x 4 time... chuck has been very open about where his influences came from & he deserves(way more) credit(than any that you have mentioned do) for putting it together--you do minimise the-father-of-r'n'r's contribution & can't even spell "rock'n'roll" or "eddie cochran" properly

Amazing.....made so many contributions to music and other artists' careers.

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

He was always crazy to perform, is a free rocking and rolling soul! And we must remember he create this whole thing here.
