bubblyrat, are you just talking about rock 'n' roll, or rock/pop in general? Most people would say R 'n' R was primarily 1950s music, and although some people probably still play it today (in bands or on record), since the 1960s it has been replaced by other forms of pop or rock music. Most people wouldn't call the Beatles music Rock 'n' Roll, although they did record some R 'n' R songs (but it was a small percentage of their total output).
