It's hard to say, have you heard of classic rock and roll though? It's played with 1 or 2 electric guitars, string or double bass or electric bass (after mid 1950s) and a drum kit.
It's hard to say. However, radio stations have much success playing classic rock and roll, which is a sub genre that usually has one or two electric guitars, a double bass or string bass or electric bass guitar, and a drum kit.
I love rock and roll music.  Do you know much about the genre? It's a genre of popular music that came about in the United States around the late 40s/early 50s, from African American musical styles, like gospel, jump blues, jazz, boggie woogie, and with some country music thrown into the mix! So it has a lot of influences.  When was rock music the most popular? I'm unable to say but around the mid-1960s was when it turns to "the more encompassing international style" of rock music Is rock and roll still popular today?
