PS.Speaking of chuck berry, im beginning to think that leaving him off was a bad idea, i probably will update it again. =(
I completly understand what your saying, only thing i dont think i fully agree on is reggae being a subgenre of rock. they may have the same roots, but i dont think reggaes roots are rock. but with that analogy, id have to agree with misfits when he said something about all music eventually ending up with one main root, so how far back are you going?( i was under the impression that this thread was rock and subgenres of rock, not rock and genres that share the same roots. id put reggae and rock on separate branches of the same tree and not as differant twigs on the same branch, same would go for country.
