Are we talking Rock and Roll Bill Haley style?

Elvis was a Rock and Roll singer, did some wonderful Rock Ballads.

Are we talking Heavy Rock?

Are some people getting confused with Heavy Metal?

This is one deffinition on google

rock 'n' roll: a genre of popular music originating in the 1950s; a blend of black rhythm-and-blues with white country-and-western; "rock is a generic term for the range of styles that evolved out of rock'n'roll."

But that is a definition of Rock 'n Roll.

There is no 'n Roll in Rock, only in Rock 'n Roll

You haven't read the whole of that deffinition, it says Rock is a generic term for the range of styles that evolved out of rock'n'roll

Led Zep did a very heavy number called Rock and Roll. The Rolling Stones did It's only Rock and Roll but I like it... Status Quo did a song called Rock and Roll..

They were all generally known as Rock groups.
