up until ragtime

what all kinds of music did we have?

classical

opera

folk/tribal

gospel

i cant think of any more

anyway

it was Scott Joplin that started the whole ragtime genre
(btw, ragtime was the first american genre)

which gave birth to damn near every genre we listen to today

so i vote for Scott Joplin to be King of Ragtime
(he already holds that title)

AND King of Rock & Roll
