Answers:
I would say Chuck berry is the king or founder of Rock and Roll, music would still be the same if it wasn't Elvis someone else would have done it!.

First Rock band was probably Bill Haley and the CometsWww@Enter-QA@Com

yeah, "the king of rock and roll" thats just marketing!. elvis was the guy who danced funny and did movies!. perhaps he helped to make rock acceptable to a wide (re: white) audience, but that would have happened anyway!.

I know it is cool to say bo diddley was the first since he just died and all but really its probably ike turner with "rocket 88"!. but even that, which is often regarded as the first rock record, is kind of just another important moment in a string of recordings from various artists that bridged the gap from blues to rock!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Rock&roll was coined by a Texas DJ while airing music by Buddy Holly's Crickets!.
Bo Diddley is arguably the creator of the rock&roll genre!.
Almost every major Rock&Roll artist from Holly to Stonesto U2 to modern rock artists have copied his riffs and chord progressions!.
In my opinion Elvis is pretty far down on the list!. Perhaps I feel that way because I believe he is erroniously referred to; as the King of Rock&Roll!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

DJ Alan Freed is the one credited naming "Rock and Roll" music!.

Elvis himself said: "A lot of people seem to think I started this business, but rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I came along!. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people!. Let's face it, I can't sing like Fats Domino can!. I know that"!.

Personally I think the king should be Chuck Berry and Maybelline was one of the first truly "Rock N' Roll" songs ever recorded, Rock guitar started with Maybelline!Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think Bo Diddley is more deserving of the Title!.

Elvis just brought it to the masses!. Today, when a group takes a certain sound and makes it popular!.!.!.we call 'em Sellouts!.

(While wildly popular and deservedly recognized!.!.!.I still think he is again credited more highly than he should be simply because of his untimely death!.)
Remember!.!.!.!. he ended his career a fat parody of himself!.!.!. crooning 20 year old hits to a bunch of old fat women!.!.!.!.

He DID NOT invent his own thing!. He liberally borrowed things like his dancing from the Afro-American pregenitors of Rock, wrote very little of his own music, etc!. In may ways he was a studio creation!. One cannot deny he had a great voice, and a lot of charisma, but he invented little, and "Colonel" Tom Parker is who REALLY made Elvis a household name!.

I think AntiSocialist covered the first Rockband part nicely!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It would still be like it is!. Before Elvis died he was already 15+ years irrelevant!.

The first rock band has been given to Bill Haley and the Comets, but I'd say, just because of their influence, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, or Eddie Cochran!.


edit - Fitz - LOL on the first rock band!. also, I got my Metal Masters tour tickets this weekend and Testament is one of the acts!. I'm f-ing pumped!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Elivis is not the King per se!. He was very famous and may have been one of the first every of that type of fame!.

The first rock band!.!.!.!. hmm!.!.!. I think it goes all the way back to the early Jazz and Blues bands before rock really got going!. I can't say for sure though!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Elvis came along and created his own brand of music lots of people have copied him and over the years music has developed to wot it is today so without Elvis i think to days music would not be the sameWww@Enter-QA@Com

I agree with the people above me, I feel the first rock band was a bunch of cavemen!. They literally played rocks! LOL

Great answers I could not have said it better myself!
