Not nocking anyone but noone appropriates Mexican and Ethiopian music so it stays ONLY with them. Now, someone can tell me who the top Jamaican artists are in jamaica but jamaicans aren't even the biggest modern sellers of their own music because of APPROPRIATION. THis is what happened to Rock music. This is probably bigger than anything in recent time by an actual Afrojamaican and it's straight jacking of their music by a white band
I can tell you who the top Black Rock artists are which has nothing to do with who the top Rock artists are overall because out muisc has been jacked
There are modern black rock musicians....they have nothing to to do with top 40 Rock.

Alan Freed
"Wednesday marks the 60th anniversary of a seminal event in rock 'n' roll - and radio - history. It involves Alan Freed, the Cleveland DJ credited with coining the very phrase "rock 'n' roll."
The story is best told by his son, music publisher Lance Freed. His dad, he recalls, did a nightly program, "The Moondog Show," on WJW, playing "race" records - that is, R&B. Back in 1952, he says, "he was the only white disc jockey playing music created by blacks on a white-owned station." His father, he adds, came to call the music rock 'n' roll "as a way to put a new face on the stigma of music created largely by black artists. He took the phrase from the records he was playing, with lyrics such as 'Rock me baby, roll me baby, all night long.' 'Rock 'n' roll' was a known euphemism, in the black community, for sex. But to the public, 'rock 'n' roll' became the name for a mysterious new genre of music."

Disc jockey Alan Freed was born Albert James Freed on December 21, 1921 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. In highschool, he played the trombone in a jazz band called The Sultans Of Swing. In college, he developed an interest in radio, and in 1942 Freed landed his first broadcasting job, at WKST , in New Castle, PA. He took a sportscasting position at WKBN (Youngstown, OH) the following year and in 1945, he moved to WAKR (Akron, OH) and became a local favourite, playing hot jazz and pop recordings.
In 1949 Freed moved to WXEL-TV in Cleveland, and later to WJW radio. It was while there that a local record store owner named Leo Mintz convinced him to emcee a program of rhythm & blues records and on July 11, 1951, calling himself "Moondog," Freed went on the air. Playing rhythm-and-blues for an audience that consisted primarily of white teenagers was something new and exciting for his young audience and it caught on quickly
Freed would wait until 1:00 AM when he thought the station manager was asleep to play some of the music he selected. In the music business in the 1950's, it was a common practice for a white artist to cover a song that had originally been recorded by a black artist. Many of Pat Boone's early recordings were such covers. Alan Freed made a lot of enemies in the music business by refusing to play the white singers versions.
Alan Freed is often credited with coining the term "rock and roll" to describe the rhythm-and-blues records he played, however that expression had been around for years among the black musicians of the day. The phrase "rockin' and rollin'" referred to having sex, as in " we were rockin' and rollin' ". Freed, however, attached the term to the music he played on his radio program and soon, his listeners were using the phrase too.
Alan Freed
"In 1949 he moved to Cleveland for WXEL-TV. He was shortly back on radio, however, as he played rhythm and blues records on WJW radio, calling himself "Moondog". His show was called the Moondog Rock 'n' Roll Party, and programmed black rhythm and blues music for a predominently white teenage audience. The term Rock 'n' Roll would continue to be used by Freed for what was then rhythm and blues, and the term would eventually catch on. He called it that because he said "It seemed to suggest rolling, surging beat of the music." Credited as the first "rock concert" was the 1952 Moondog Coronation Ball, though it was closed when the Cleveland Arena was overrun by about twice its 10,000 person capacity.

Listen to old white people tell you where Rock n Roll came from
.

we even created the actual modern rock band/instru lineup
The modern Rock band setup came straight from Chicago Electric Blues with the likes of Muddy Waters
"McKinley Morganfield – Muddy Waters – was perhaps the most influential electric blues guitarist, and a guitarist whose influence extended far beyond the blues, to the world of rock music and every genre where the basic band setup of electric guitar, bass and drums can be found. Influential for the songs he wrote, the musicians he inspired, his style of guitar playing, and for inventing the modern rock band as we know it, Muddy Waters altered the course of popular music."
Fender Players Club - Muddy Waters
"Beginning in the early 1950's, Mr. Waters made a series of hit records for Chicago's Chess label that made him the undisputed king of Chicago blues singers. He was the first popular bandleader to assemble and lead a truly electric band, a band that used amplification to make the music more ferociously physical instead of simply making it a little louder.
In 1958, he became the first artist to play electric blues in England, and while many British folk-blues fans recoiled in horror, his visit inspired young musicians like Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones, who later named their band the Rolling Stones after Mr. Waters's early hit "Rollin' Stone." Bob Dylan's mid-1960's rock hit "Like a Rolling Stone" and the leading rock newspaper Rolling Stone were also named after Mr. Waters's original song."

we also created the Rock beat (straight 8th and backbeat)
The basic Rock beat aka the "Backbeat" came straight out of the Black Church. It went into R&B and started the "Rocking" era which then became known as "Rock N Roll". This is why white racists called Rock n Roll jungle music from the African jungles because they knew the "beat" was black in origin.
Birth Of Rock Drumming: Backbeats & Straight Eighths
"
When rock and roll first hit the scene in the early 1950s, it was hailed as a musical revolution, but also caused a lot of controversy. Teens loved the big sound and crazy energy of rock, while many of their parents were horrified by it. So what made rock so different from its predecessors that it caused such strife? Answer: big changes in the groove. The next few MIH columns will focus on these various changes, and show how the turbulent early years of this new music craze created a drumming blueprint that we follow to this day.
The first rock element we’ll explore is the backbeat, the accented stroke that you hear on beats 2 and 4. Backbeats had always been a part of the drummer’s vocabulary, and you can hear examples in early jazz, swing, and bebop. In all these cases, however, the drummer would only lay down backbeats near the end of a song, at the emotional high point. Generally, it was considered bad form for a drummer to play loud all the way through, not to mention unmusical.
By the end of the 1940s, some early R&B recordings, most famously “Good Rockin’ Tonight” by Wynonie Harris, started to break these barriers by incorporating backbeats from start to finish. The risk paid off, as kids actually preferred dancing to a heavier beat, and kept “Good Rockin’” at the top of the charts for six solid months. The die was cast, and within a few years, continuous backbeats became a defining element in rock and every other pop style to emerge thereafter. It’s a trend we still follow today.
Another important rhythmic milestone that led to rock’s dominance was the shift from swung to straight eighth-notes.
Previous forms of American popular music – including New Orleans jazz, swing, and rhythm and blues – all had their rhythmic foundation in the “swung” eighth-note, a bouncy feel based in triplets. In the mid-’50s, however, certain R&B musicians found that by speeding up the feel of a boogie-woogie shuffle, you could “straighten out” the bounciness and create a relentless, driving “chuck-chuck-chuck” of eighth-notes that is now the recognizable trademark of rock.
Interestingly, the move toward straight eighths did not originate with drummers, but with other instrumentalists, notably piano player Little Richard, and guitar players Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. Earl Palmer, who played on many important early rock recordings, described it thusly:
“The only reason I started playing what they come to call a rock and roll beat came from trying to match Little Richard’s right hand. With Richard pounding the piano with all ten fingers, you couldn’t very well go against it. I did at first – on ’Tutti Frutti’ you can hear me playing a shuffle. Listening to it now, it’s easy to hear that I should have been playing that rock beat.”
Fred Below, who played on most of Chuck Berry’s hits, did just the opposite, playing a shuffle against Berry’s straight-eighth guitar strumming on tunes like “Johnny B. Goode.” The result is an unusual “in-between” feel that has also come to be associated with the 1950s rock sound, and can be heard on the likes of Elvis Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock,” and Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On.”
As the 1950s wore on, the straight-eighth feel became increasingly popular with teens, and by the arrival of The Beatles, in 1964, it had become the dominant groove in rock."
