All modern (post-'60s) rock is to some extent traceable to the Beatles.

The Beatles often expressly acknowledged their debt to the Everly brothers in creating their singing style.

The effect of the Louvin Brothers on the Everly Brothers is obvious.

Ergo: The Louvin brothers created modern rock.

Now we know whom to blame - But Ira's dead.

It's all Charlie Louvin's fault.

Peter.
