Sure there were stylistic differences with what white musicians were doing but it was essentially still rock.

Yeah, you´re right. I think most of the music can put under rock (last year Public Enemy was chosen into RnRHoF). Originally I started this thread because quite many seem to think they chose RnR HoF many not rock artists. So I made a list for a artists, who has made straightforward, riffbased R´n`r, kind of continue a tradition what Chuck Berry & the others started. Sly & the Family Stone, Fishbone & others are not in list, because most of their material is something else than straightforward r´n´r. Bad Brains is quite straightforward, but I think it´s more hardcore punk than r`n`r. Of course many of the artists in my list has made also something else than just r`n`r, but anyway I think they have many songs that are badass R´N´R. For example you can call only Elvis two first albums R´n´R.
