Bah, all this genre fetishism can be kind of helpful, but I can't help but imagine it would have come across kind of bemusing 45 years ago, when it seemed that the only two types of pop music were Rock and/or Roll.



to be historically accurate the drab mainstream stuff at the time like ' How Much Is That Doggie In The Window', The Andrews Sisters, and at its cutting edge Frank Sinatra and other bobbie socks favourites were all pop music. R'n'r arrived like the era's punk rock & shocked several by its heavy usage of rhythms taken from black music and not watered down heavily.
