Thought I'd throw this into the fray...my curiosity was piqued by somebody branding me "Another Acoustic Rock Singer Songwriter" earlier today...

Got me thinking, because I have to say I've always viewed "Acoustic Rock" as being something of a contradiction in terms. "Rock", as I understand, is a diminutive of "Rock and Roll"; which in turn was originally formed by the fusion of Blues and Country/Bluegrass styles, played on primarily ELECTRIC instruments...surely then acoustic rock is a misnomer; should more acurately be termed acoustic blues-country-bluegrass-fusion?? Or is it merely a term of abuse?

I'd be interested to hear your perspectives...or alternatively, just offer whatever happens to be on your mind, pertinent or otherwise!
