Being famous doesn't make you the creator of something. The Sonics were actually far more loud and abrassive sounding than The Who before The Who existed which means hard rock in some form before The Who. That should tell you that The Who didn't invent the genre.

The whole point seems a little trivial whatever way one looks at it. At the end of the day, rock owes its existence to the American music that came before in the earlier 20th century.
Who knows what British music would have come to sound like were it not for the existence of jazz, the blues and so forth. My guess is probably nothing particularly like The Who. |

I'd love you guys and girls to write a book about rock history.
It all began in a feild in Africa and developed from there. the end I am talking about definitive moments when things changed and became somtheing new. The who were mods which is a UK scene of very sharp arrogant proud hip types but they became rock n roll that inspired all the led zeppilen and then black sabbath and stadium rock. Forget music ancestory. Like art is categorised into periods but all have to do with what went before and so does film making. Marlon Brando didn't invent method acting but he created it in history for us to see. That is how it got into the dictionary and became known. Therefore looking back we only have names and dates and history because of him and it. Who remembers ragtime music? Why doesn't it have a section in this forum? Because it is forgotton. Same with skiffle which was huge once. What took pop music as it was called and turned it into hard rock n roll then followed by the zeppilen et al? THE WHO |
