I will go out on a limb and suggest that Elton John was one of the first artist to bring pop the closest to the rock threshold. From there on it was all blues rock and progressive.
That is an interesting point.

I notice that each of the decades have their own explosions of genres and movements like in the 60's you had the British explosion with bands like the Beatles and Rolling Stones but you also had the big rise of Motown and African American cross over acts.

That is an interesting point about Elton as well. He has done so many genres.
