Who Gave Rock And Roll To You??

[CGM]

I'd have to say more of teh really big superstar bands came from the UK, but who do bands like the Stones and Zeppelin cite as their influences? The American blues artists like Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, etc. This is where rock and roll derived from.

America. As other's have said, British (and American) Rock and Roll was derived from African American music. It rose to prominence in the States in the 50's.

Acts like Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, Elvis, Little Richard etc. got the ball rolling.

Edit: How could I forget Chuck fucking Berry
