So why would I vote for something that's not rock and roll? I'm not voting for Death's Symbolic on a smooth jazz list. And I'm not voting for an R&B album like The Animals on a rock and roll list.

Plus, if you're going to say "black people are better," you yourself are stereotyping Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Gene Vincent, early Rolling Stones, Roy Orbison, The Ventures, Johnny Cash, and The Everly Brothers.
You see, Elvis didn't release albums and rise to fame today.
