Probably the main factor in the genesis of R&R in the mid-fifties was the horrible crap that was being foisted on the public as the "Hit Parade". Just listen sometime to some of the stuff put out at the time by Eddie Fisher, Perry Como, Kitty Kallen or Patti Page and it's easy to see why all the kids went nuts over Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, et. al.

Rebellion, pure and simple.

Excitement outdoes boredom every time.
