This appears to be very incomplete...and a lot of it looks to be lifted directly from the general rock and roll article, rather than expanding on it for more in-depth coverage of American rock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.93.214.48 ( talk • contribs) 04:09, 3 June 2005
OK, I began a section on the 1970s, and created some empty categories for the 1980s and 2000s. Hopefully someone with more time will expand these areas. I would also recommend breaking the 1990s down into categories to make it more encyclopedic. This article has potential, but needs a lot of work. Hopefully I can come back and make more contributions soon. -- Havard 00:30, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
The suggestion that no American rock was highly popular in the 1970s is incorrect. KISS and Van Halen were hugely successful American rock bands that were famous in the 1970s. What could be mentioned later in the article is the original nationality of some of the members of American rock bands, such as Gene Simmons from Israel, the other two members of Hendrix's band from the United Kingdom and the Van Halen brothers from the Netherlands. -- Kevin Browning ( talk) 03:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Everything from the tone to the facts are just poor. Considering the dominance of American pop culture, including music, this article should receive a lot of attention. -- Kevin Browning ( talk) 08:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense really Westknife ( talk) 03:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
This article is overdue for a cleanup, fixing some of the major style issues and providing citations. Material that cannot be supported by citations needs to be deleted, although I don't think there will be much of that here. I will undertake it in a short time, but if there are any major suggestions not already listed above please set them out so that they can be incorporated.-- SabreBD ( talk) 11:29, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
It's strange that this article claims that rock music was "created" by high influence from the British Invasion. American rock music clearly existed before the British Invasion, especially with bands such as The Four Seasons, The Beach Boys, The Ventures, and The Kingsmen. Is it that the term "rock music" was not used until 1966/1967? Those years are obviously after the British Invasion began, so the sentence would make sense if phrased differently. 67.80.144.146 ( talk) 00:45, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I've reverted these unsourced and undiscussed edits, made earlier today by an IP account. Some may be worthy, but most seem to be based on personal opinion. Further discussion on this page, please. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 10:44, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
