Does B.B. King fall in the genre rock n roll (james brown)Is the blues rock and roll or did rock and roll come from the blues?
Rock and Roll developed from Blues.

Probably you can read all about it on Wikipedia, but, if you're truly interested, I recommend you get some old blues records from the 20s and then 30s and 40s so you can listen to the progression yourself until the 50s when rock and roll was born.Is the blues rock and roll or did rock and roll come from the blues?

Who do you think should be in the rock and roll hall of fame?

Genesis or Rush?Who do you think should be in the rock and roll hall of fame?
Rush...actually both if it keeps LL Cool J out
Rush :)Who do you think should be in the rock and roll hall of fame?
Rush.
Rush!Who do you think should be in the rock and roll hall of fame?
Rush!
Honestly I think both should but Rush first I think.



But if LL Cool J makes it and The Stooges don't I might kill someone.
Tom Waites!!!!
Both, honestly. My absolute favorite band is Rush, but Genesis is so influential that I have to say both.
I listened more to Genesis, but both are qualified. Someone said LL Cool J ??? Why? Where's the Rock? Of course we said the same thing about Madonna, yet she made it, more's the pity.
Rush..

and..can I add that Deep Purple -really- should be in.

Why is Elvis Presley considered the king of rock and roll?

Cos he had it all ! Looks, charm , attidude ,charisma, amazing voice ! He also knew hot to move in a way that nobody had seen before. He invented rock and roll and he was and still is THE KING !





XxXWhy is Elvis Presley considered the king of rock and roll?
He came along at the right time, at the very birth of Rock and Roll; a white R%26amp;B singer that had the looks, charm, charisma, and voice that (added to a very effective PR machine) defined and established the style in the mainstream. As a result, he absolutely RULED the airwaves and pop charts from the very beginning of the Rock %26amp; Roll Era. He led the fledgling style away from a "niche" mix of R%26amp;B and Country, and opened the door for the creativity of both his contemporaries, as well as those who came after...white or black...to nurture and advance the genre in ways we today can only marvel. In short...he changed everything; a demarcation from all that came before and all that came after.



His cult of personality produced a following that was unprecedented in the history of popular culture (one that exists even today). His legion of fans helped send over 100 of his hits up the pop charts, including 18 #1 hits (his biggest, 1956's "Hound Dog / Don't Be Cruel" stayed on top for 11 weeks, a record that wouldn't be surpassed for 27 years). Even after the Beatles and their contemporaries (most avid Elvis fans themselves) took the reigns of rock in different directions, he was still able to come back and remain remarkably popular...and still chart Top 10 hits...for another decade plus.



When he died, he was still setting (and selling) records...and his legacy and legend speaks for itself. He was and is to this day the most popular rock and roll artist of all time.

Is megadeth in the rock and roll hall of fame?

because i know metallica was induced sometime this/last year. i wanted to know if megadeth was. for those megadeth/metalica fans you know why im askingIs megadeth in the rock and roll hall of fame?
No. It's a meaningless honor, of course.
Megadeth will likely never get in, unfortunately- they are too underground. My favorite metal band. But the powers that be pretty much overlook artists in favor of sales- has Tom Waits even been nominated? How about Rush? For that matter, what about KISS? Not that I'm calling Kiss great artists, but they ruled the hard rock scene in the late 70's- very influential. Why would the Beastie Boys (GAG...) get in but not these guys? And don't get me started on Motorhead- Lemmy is the King of Rock, no contest- and Motorhead single-handedly started speed/thrash metal and influenced countless bands while maintaining their artistic integrity.



The HOF is a corporate joke.Is megadeth in the rock and roll hall of fame?
No only bands that sell trillions of records and appeal to 90% of the population get in. It's not about music, it's about popularity.
I believe notIs megadeth in the rock and roll hall of fame?
The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame Is a Piss Stain
No, but they should be
Nope,I hope someday they will though :D
Of course not.

How can I become a good rock and roll piano/keyboard player?

without learning theory?How can I become a good rock and roll piano/keyboard player?
You'll learn to play by ear, it's how i play bass, drums, and keys. You'll get the idea and you'll soon catch on. However, after playing for awhile it will make you want to learn more.



I play bass, keys, and drums but I cant read music. Guitar is too hard for me, you have to get the chords just right. :P
Just practice, practice, practice!!! You don't need theory.How can I become a good rock and roll piano/keyboard player?
Nothing beats formal pianoforte training, for a solid foundation.
