Singers and bandleaders of rock and roll and rock music, the American and British popular style of the 1950s onward built on electric guitars, backbeat rhythm and showmanship. A performer belongs here when the cited article calls the person a rock and roll or rock musician. It excludes soul, jazz and pop performers, who have their own descriptions, and it follows the label the article gives, not the performer's later genre crossings.
