The Stones beat everyone else though.


As per individual talent it's all USA: Elvis, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly, Little Richard, Roy Orbeson, etc etc etc.
Why the uh huh Lyle dont you like their sound? Or dont you belive they wrote 'shakin all over?'

Roy Orbison ,what can you say other than "there is the real king" , his voice and his range and his emotion through the delivery is the best.
Didnt have the frills that the others chose to wear and the marketing etc, so it took more time for the world to catch up to who he really was.

Chuck Berry too, raw and amazing, he would have studied all of Robert Johnstons original songs and guitar riffs from the 30's.

The others you mention are more popular but popular and leading the pack doesnt mean your always the best at any paticular song just means the masses got sold your stuff better on the radio and your ear got attuned.

The masses have a taste for what they are served up. What they are served up on mass is often remixes of more raw earthy originals that the kids today and some people of our era too wouldnt have a clue were once written and were hits by others in some countries that never released them outside of their local areas until now.

We are all so lucky that you guys in the States had people with enough vision to go around and record originals back in the late twenties and thirties all the way down south even into the jails, everywhere blues was being written your national archives guys went. How was that!
