The Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, these guys were inventing the sound of rock. I think they're fantastic musicians. But Rush and Pink Floyd stand out more to me as timeless art.

    Those artists arrived much later than the invention of rock. It was invented by Chuck Berry and other black artists in the US during the 50s.

    I didn't think my point needed a "history of music" lesson attached. The rock bands of the 60s were taking the experiments of swing and blues musicians from the decade prior and refining them into the aggressive, over-driven and distorted arrangements. Not "rock & roll".
