    T/S doesn't know what he's talking about. Rockers like Chuck Berry and Bo Diddly laid the foundation for musicians of and after their time.. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were playing Chuck's ? ! In fact, modern guitarists still lift from their work. Bad Brains are considered the godfathers of ? punk. It's arguable they are the greatest punk band of any era. They were light years ahead of their contemporaries as far as musicianship. Fishbone was one of the greatest rock acts of the 90s. Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel are considered to be two of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, period.. Regardless of race. Toro Y Moi, TV On The Radio, and Twin Shadow are innovative leaders of modern alternative rock.

    because of social conditioning everybody sees Rock and Roll as mostly white. Just like Country music. But I see where you're coming from. There should have been more black rock bands in the past. But people like Prince , Lenny Kravitz, Tracy Chapman, the Roots have several good rock joints but they're just not heralded in the 'white community' and probably are not widely distributed within white social circles.

    Reading this thread I remembered a young rock and roll group that was featured in Red Bulletin magazine called the Bots. I thought they were pretty good especially for their age.

    rage against the machine is better than queen

    i prefer tom morello to hendrix but hendrix is one of the most inventive and talented players ever, legions of players have really copied his style. Thread starter is a black ? and all african americans should be ashamed of him

    Shaking my head at this thread. Africans laid the foundation of modern music of all genres!! If you can't admit that simple fact, than you have no debate.

    You just love being the fool don't you?

    How about you investigate? Look up the moors and their contributions to what would be called classical music. Blacks are the fastest to forget their history and give it to someone else whose ancestors cannot tell the difference between bass or tremble.

    no, in majority of the world's opinion.
    check the numbers for Queen concerts and how they filled Soccer stadiums.
    Check the number of Euros in the Hall of Fame.
    Check the awards won by Euros vs awards won by blacks.
    Whites did it/do it better an only racists would disagree

    i wouldnt say whites did it better, its just that more whites did it, but when its comes to music i refuse to look at race like that, i can bump a white rapper and a band with a black lead singer in the same 8 minute time period

    If you judge by artistic influence and originality black people are by far the superior rock artist if you go by record sales then white people have the edge.
