Using the terms that have become so distorted anyway I'd have to say
Pop Rock 'n' Roll.
There's a lot of rocking & rolling in songs like "A Hard Day's Night",
"I Should Have Know Better", "Dr. Robert", etc.
Scary to see that rock & roll, like Elvis, Orbison and The Beatles, is
now being played on easy listening radio stations that once played 30s,
40s, 50s pop and swing!
Has rock 'n' roll become easy listening as compared to rock today?
Yikes!
