I've heard a lot of black people complain about Rock Music; calling It White Boy music and other ignorant comments like that...There are also a lot of people shoutin "Rock & Roll is Our Music; and White People Stole it from Us"...But these arguments are irrelevant, my question is, where the hell are the Black rockers??? I'm Black and I love Music, I would love to see a Real Black rock band (Drummer, Bass, Guitar, Keyboards, etc) that is good on the same level as any other band like Zeppelin, Floyd, Radiohead, Metallica, Nirvana, etc...Here is the list of ALL of the Black Rockers, to My Knowledge...add on...
Jimi Hendrix
Living Color
The Dears (Murry Lightburn; Lead Singer)
Bloc Party (Lead Singer)
TV On The Radio (2 Black Guys including Lead Singer)
Most of The Dave Matthews Band
I think theres a black Guy in Incubus
The Libertines Have A black Guy (never heard them before, but saw a picture)
The Roots (Which are more Jazz that Rock and more Hip Hop than anything, but I felt like including them anyway)
I know there's a lot more, But I don't feel like thinking about it right now...ADD ON..

Word failing to mention that is pretty pathetic; them dudes are the pioneers.
That list Clem had didnt mention Chuck either.
Add Sly Stone too, although theyre sort of funk/rock/soul
Rock lost.
Dog...I'm talkin about Rock BANDS!! Bands in the way that we identify them today (Guitars,Bass, Keyboards, Drums, Vocals, etc)...I wasnt takling about Black people that make/made music...no need to get offended...just because you heard or read somwhere that chuck Berry "invented" Rock & Roll doesnt mean you have to feel the need to bash it into everyones skull everytime the words "Black", "Rock" and "Music" are mentioned in the same sentence...WE ALL KNOW!!!!
Not to take anything away from any Pioneers of American Music, But music, rock specifically, has evolved dramaticlly since the 50's and the term Rock covers such a wide range of music that it doesnt even make sense to call it by a single name. the rock that Chuck Berry & Little Richard were playin, is no where near the same rock that a lot of people played after them played (better or worse) just like the rock that Metallica Plays is nowhere near the Rock that Radiohead plays.

Yeah we all know that black people invented rock music. Yada yada yada. What people don't want to admit is that Lenny Kravitz made it all but impossible for most people to take black rock music seriously.
i wrote a paper for an english midterm a few months ago on why black people have been discouraged from listening to or playing rock, but honestly is seems that there has been a little bit of a resurgence of black rockers lately

Who doesn't know that about Chuck Berry? Dummy.
