Rock & Roll: 1954-1991
The first...
"Rock Around the Clock" (1954) by Bill Haley and his Comets (recorded April 1954) was the first number one rock and roll record. This song is often credited with propelling rock into the mainstream, at least the teen mainstream. At first it had lack-luster sales but was later included in a movie about a raucous high-school, Blackboard Jungle, which exposed it to a wider audience.
The last...
Metallica was the band Metallica's fifth album, released August 13, 1991 through Elektra Records. It is also called The Black Album...
Whilst THE CRAMPS are still going ROCK N ROLL lives on!

First, this thread is not ending. It will take years to break down the reasons for the death of Rock-n-Roll. Second, if you want to leave you can go. This is not a prison.
