Though some may argue against that, saying something like.
Blues = Rock N Roll.
And
African Folk Music = Blues.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, music is music, its all relative.
Point is, piano (a keyboard instrument, duh) used to be a primary instrument in rock music (yes back when it was rock n roll) and then in the 60s its role became smaller in rock music, it was rarely used as a lead or soloing instrument from that point... But in the late 60s bands like The Doors restablished the role a keyboard can play in a rock band, and then in the 70s we had the most keyboard dominated rock genre there ever was, teh prog... But folks like Elton John and Billy Joel proved that piano players can also be rock stars.
