Actually I don't think you do get what I'm saying. Them being around before those two bands is not what I'm talking about. I'm saying that the Beatles' music has more in common
stylistically with early rock n roll (i.e. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, etc.) than a band like Rush does. And since the term "rock n roll" was invented to describe the music made by people like Chuck Berry and Little Richard it can be argued that the closer you come to that particular sound the more rock you are.
Incidentally, I'm not saying that Rush and Black Sabbath
aren't rock. They are. I'm just saying that they're further removed from what the term "rock" was originally coined to describe.
