Talk:American rock

message: The suggestion that no American rock was highly popular in the 1970s is incorrect. KISS and Van Halen were hugely successful American rock bands that were famous in the 1970s. What could be mentioned later in the article is the original nationality of some of the members of American rock bands, such as Gene Simmons from Israel, the other two members of Hendrix's band from the United Kingdom and the Van Halen brothers from the Netherlands. -- Kevin Browning (talk) 03:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Everything from the tone to the facts are just poor. Considering the dominance of American pop culture, including music, this article should receive a lot of attention. -- Kevin Browning (talk) 08:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is overdue for a cleanup, fixing some of the major style issues and providing citations. Material that cannot be supported by citations needs to be deleted, although I don't think there will be much of that here. I will undertake it in a short time, but if there are any major suggestions not already listed above please set them out so that they can be incorporated.--SabreBD (talk) 11:29, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Cleanup

message: It's strange that this article claims that rock music was "created" by high influence from the British Invasion. American rock music clearly existed before the British Invasion, especially with bands such as The Four Seasons, The Beach Boys, The Ventures, and The Kingsmen. Is it that the term "rock music" was not used until 1966/1967? Those years are obviously after the British Invasion began, so the sentence would make sense if phrased differently. 67.80.144.146 (talk) 00:45, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is true that "rock" was not used until after the British Invasion. Those bands were only called surf rock or garage rock retrospectively. The term rock and roll was older of course, but those bands were largely not categorised as that either. The earliest use was in compounds like folk rock and blues rock. I will look some references out when I have time and if needed.--SabreBD (talk) 06:51, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
