yes, fine Dave Gilmour was a genius...but Roger Waters was..uuhhh... not even worth explaining to you why he is better, if you don't already know, you dont appreciate his musical or lyrical songwriting abilites enough to know that Dave Gilmour played what he was told alot of the time...

It can`t be a coincidence Pink Floyd turned to crap after Roger Waters left

^thank you urban....see, you know what you are talking about...

Well they were crap before he left to be fair , but the levels of crapness after he left were far greater.

Hey Urban Hatemonger why dont u post some? IM pretty sure you would know a few...

I didnt say rock MUSIC I said rock RIFF. And it's a well know fact that You Really got Me was the first ever ROCK RIFF. Check if ya don't believe me.

^ actually, rock started with the same basic chords long before you really got me...C Aminor, F G ....lets see, Ritchie Valens, the big bopper, Elvis, etc...etc...give me a break.

So what were on all those Chuck Berry & Elvis records then?

the stone roses were very influential i think
also, mudhoney for in my view, starting grunge, the white stripes for spawning this new wave of garage rock, and a band who i think were influential in that they harboured 3 of the greatest guitarists of all time (who in their own right were influential)- the yardbirds.

Rock music, not rock 'n' roll. Berry and Elvis were Rock 'n' Roll . Were there any famous Elvis riffs?

LedZepStu The Yardbirds were good but I think Page did wonderful things in Zeppelin, and Clapton did wonders in Cream and as a solo. Beck as a solo artist is amazing.
