R'n Roll started in 1954 with Bill Halley and Elvis. Beatles came later.
You´re right about that... I acutally wanted to say that there would be no rock´n´roll up to our days if there were no beatles. Nothing new would come up and rock would eventually fade away.
50ies rock sounds all the same! Thank heavens Beatles turned it into a more dinamic and creative kind of music, where the songs didn´t repeate some cliches and "leitmotifs".
Can you imagine songs like Ticket to Ride, Tomorrow Never knows and Strawberry Fields Forever writen in the 50s? Or writen by the Rolling Stones? No way!
Listen to Elvis songs like "That's all right", "Good rockin tonight", "Blue moon of kentuchy", "You're heartbreaker", and more, He is real and only creator of that, Bees Gees was the band from 1958, Beatles ripped off them.
You got to be kidding, Blue Moon was a Bill Monroe song, That's All Right was written by Arthur Crudup, Good Rocking by Roy Brown, Heartbreaker by Jack Sallee etc. etc. Elvis just covered other people's songs.
