How do you dance to rock and roll music?
Rock and Roll Music(WITH LYRICS)
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lost it,
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I’ve got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That’s why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lost it,
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over ‘cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin’ band
Man, they were goin’ like a hurrican’
That’s why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lost it,
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they gave a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They’re drinkin’ home brew from a water cup
The folks dancin’ got all shook up
And started playin’ that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lost it,
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don’t care to hear ‘em play a tango
I’m in the mood to gear a mambo
It’s way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin’ that piano
So I can gear some of that
Rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lost it,
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

why isn’t rock and roll music, etc., as good as it used to be?
why isn’t rock and roll music, etc., as good as it used to be? i mean, it (today’s music) doesn’t excite enough enthusiasm, anymore.
You aren’t correct in saying there’s no good music. There IS. The problem is that it is not as easily accessible as it used to be via radio and videos.
As for why that is the case, there are so many reasons.
First and foremost, the music industry is driven by love of MONEY, not music. "Back in the old days," people got signed based on "scenes" (e.g., anyone from England with a guitar got a record deal after Beatlemania hit; anyone standing on the corner of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco in 1966 got a deal, anyone calling himself/herself a "singer/songwriter" in L.A. got a deal in the late 60s/early 70s, everyone hanging around CBGBs in 1977 got a deal, etc.). The artists who came out of these "scenes" were not all good, but they did have uniqueness to them (e.g., the Grateful Dead, Steve Miller, Boz Scaggs, and the Jefferson Airplane came out of San Francisco; Talking Heads, the Ramones, and Blondie were all CBGBs regulars). Today, that is NOT the case. As Roy Clark opined about modern country music, "Anymore, if you hear a song you like, tomorrow there’ll be 20 songs on the radio that sound just like it."
Because of this, the great music that does exist cannot get a commercial (or "mainstream") outlet, which is problem number two. Radio stations, around 1980-82, began what they called a "superstars format." FM rock radio in the 70s was the land of experimentation. A dirty little secret here: the two most overplayed songs in FM rock history (Stairway to Freebird), were NEVER EVER released as "singles." They were long and DJs put them on (along with other long songs like "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" by Elton John and "Loan Me a Dime" by Boz Scaggs) so they could go to the john and raid the station refrigerator. Then along came the Arbitron books and the aforementioned love of money. And their belief is that "everybody" wants to hear the EXACT SAME four Eagles songs ("Hotel California," "Life in the Fast Lane," "Desperado," and "Take It Easy"), "everyone" wants to hear the EXACT SAME four Fleetwood Mac songs ("The Chain," "Dreams," "Rhiannon," and "Go Your Own Way"), "everyone" wants to hear the EXACT SAME four Bob Seger songs ("Rock and Roll Never Forgets," "Turn the Page," "Night Moves," and "Fire Lake"), etc. — AND that "everyone" wants to hear the EXACT SAME THIRTY ARTISTS (Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Seger, Journey, Styx, Zep, Beatles, Stones, AC/DC, Jefferson Airplane, Janis, Doors, Genesis, etc.), so you’ll keep listening if they keep playing the same songs and the same artists nonstop. I guess they never stopped to think that the reason all these people became so popular was that PEOPLE GOT THE CHANCE TO HEAR THEM. No such luck anymore.
And that is caused by problem #3: nearly every radio station in this country now is owned by one of two corporations. As such, they are all programmed alike by the same person or group of "consultants" (there’s no such thing as "regionalism" anymore), many are nationally broadcast so there’s no local DJs anymore (I heard a DJ on the radio in Nashville the other night say, "You know, I’m the only DJ who’s on the air live in Nashville right now!"); and, as a result, they play the same songs over and over and over and over, ad naseum. There is no acknowledgement of regionalism, even though it exists (e.g., the BoDeans are extremely popular in their hometown of Milwaukee and their "second home" of Chicago) — but robots programming and controlling the radio’s playlist doesn’t allow for that to be reflected on radio!
The bottom line is that the people running the industry want to play it safe and make as much money as humanly possible, so they will create clones of whatever is popular right now (many people refer to it as "cookie-cutter music" because it all sounds the same and the people all dress the same [see: 80s hairbands]) and not allow for fresh music to hit the mainstream airwaves. Sadly, in radio it is called "the LCD factor" — lowest common denominator. I LOATHE that term because it makes it appear that radio programmers think the listener is stupid, but that’s exactly the way they treat the listener — as though he/she IS stupid.

You might like Incubus if you like Muse
what’s the difference between rock and rock n roll music?can u tell me great rock n roll bands or artists?
AND ALSO WHY ARE SOME SONGS FROM THE BEATLES CONSIDERED POP?
Rock I think is the general term for every subgenre.
Rock and Roll is a subgenre of Rock which was one of the first Rock genres. I think Elvis, the Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry are Rock and Roll, but I might be wrong.
THE BEATLES HAVE TOUCHED DIFFERENT GENRES, INCLUDING POP. PROBABLY SOME SONGS THAT WERE MORE MAINSTREAM THAN THE OTHERS…

Ten Years After – Rock-N-Roll Music to the World
After several years of local success in the Nottingham/Mansfield area as a band known since 1962 as The Jaybirds (its core was formed in late 1960 as Ivan Jay and the Jaycats), and later as Ivan Jay and the Jaymen, Ten Years After was founded by Alvin Lee and Leo Lyons. Ivan Jay sang lead vocals from late 1960 to 1962 and was joined by Ric Lee in August 1965, replacing original drummer Dave Quickmire, who had joined in 1962. In 1966 The Jaybirds moved to London, where Chick Churchill joined the group. That November the quartet signed a manager, Chris Wright, and decided to change their name to Blues Trip, Blues Yard (under which they played a show at the legendary Marquee Club supporting Bonzo Dog Band), and finally in November 1966, to Ten Years After ( in honour of Elvis Presley, an idol of Lee’s whose momentous year in rock, 1956, helps to better explain the band’s title). They became the first band of the soon-to-be Chrysalis Agency. They secured a residency at the Marquee, and received an invitation to play at the renowned Windsor Jazz Festival in 1967. That performance led to a contract with Deram, a subsidiary company of Decca — the first band so signed without a hit single. In October, their 1967 self-titled debut album was released.
In 1968, after touring Scandinavia and the United States, Ten Years After released their second album, live Undead, which brought their first classic, “I’m Going Home.” This was followed in February 1969 by studio issue, Stonedhenge, a British hit, that included another classic, “Hear Me Calling” (it was released also as a single, and covered in 1972 by British glam rock rising stars, Slade). In July 1969 they appeared at the Newport Jazz Festival, in the first event to which rock bands were invited. In August, the band performed a breakthrough American appearance at Woodstock; their furious-to-soft-to-furious rendition of “I’m Going Home” was featured in both the subsequent film and soundtrack album and catapulted them to star status.
During 1970, Ten Years After released “Love Like a Man,” their only hit in the UK Singles Chart. This song was on their fifth album, Cricklewood Green. The name of the album comes from a friend of the group who lived in Cricklewood, London. He grew a sort of plant which was said to have hallucinogenic effects. The band did not know the name of this plant, so they called their album Cricklewood Green. It was the first record to be issued with a different playing speed on both sides — one a three-minute edit at 45rpm, the other, a nine-minute live version at 33rpm. In August, Ten Years After played the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 to an audience of 600,000.
In 1971, the band released the album A Space in Time which marked a move toward more commercial material. It featured their biggest hit, “I’d Love To Change The World.” But a few albums later, the band broke up after the 1974 album “Positive Vibrations.” In 1988, they re-united for a few concerts and recorded the album About Time (1989).
Alvin Lee has since then mostly played and recorded under his own name. In 2004, the other band members substituted him with Joe Gooch and recorded the album Now. Material from the following tour was used for the 2005 double album Roadworks. Ric Lee is currently in a band called The Breakers, along with Ian Ellis (Clouds).

What dance style is appropriate for Elvis/Rock and Roll music?
East Coast Swing is the best answer I could come up with on my own, but I’m not sure.
East Coast Swing a/o Jive would work.
Have fun!
Status Quo – Rock n Roll Music Blackpool Nov 2006
Status Quo Blackpool Opera House Nov 2006Does rock and Roll Music or Classical make plants grow more? answer before Friday please!!!?
title says it, please answer
If you want you plants to grow faster, sing to them . It doesn’t matter if it’s classical or rock,what you exhale (carbon dioxide) is what they breathe and elevated carbon dioxide has been proven to stimulate growth. If you are really serious about stimulating growth (I’m guessing the plants are indoors) increase fertility, light amount , and light cycle length. Put the plants on a summer light cycle of 12 to 14 hrs. a day. You can put a fluorescent above it and one next to it. If you have an unused corner line it with foil to maximize the light. The long light cycle will fool the plant into thinking that it is summer and time to grow vigorously. (Even so it takes 3 to 4 weeks for the cycle change to take place.) If you are really,really serious,put the plants in an enclosed space ,such as a closet, use high output grow lights and inject carbon dioxide into the space. You can purchase cylinders of carbon dioxide online or at any place that refills paintball cylinders. You growth acceleration will be phenomenal .
