Not just Motown and Surf...how about all the American Idols like Bobbie Rydell, and Frankie Avalon, and Paul Anka, and Pat Boone, and Neil Sedaka, and their ilk. In fact, "ilk" is probably the perfect word for it. Boone converted classic rock n roll songs like Good Golly Miss Molly into pap that was boiled and strained for the consumption of the red blooded American Teen. The Beatles heard Little Richard, rocked it even harder, fed it back and those same teens ate it up like starving hamsters.
