Those not sure what is rock and roll what is not, please go listen to the very first Rock and Roll records. Then make up your own mind if anything else is.
Be prepared to be surprised and go "That's Rock and Roll!!?? WTF!!?"
But yes. This is true blue Rock and Roll, as was played in Jukeboxes all over America in the 1950s-1960s.

Other than songs like these, the lines blur, and it's hard to catergorise if it's rock and roll or hard rock, or country or whatever. Take a listen first then decide.

Hard Rock is quite easy to identify actually. There is a DISTINCT riff, there MUST be a guitar solo. Falsetto also adds to the probability. The song is quite hard (obviously). The hardest distinction to make is that between Hard Rock and Metal though.
Examples of Hard Rock:
Led Zeppelin
Van Halen
AC/DC
The Jimi Hendrix Experience (a good number of songs, especially those from AYE)
Deep Purple
Black Sabbath (to me. I only know the Paranoid album, sounds more Hard Rock than Metal to me)
The Who (Who's Next and later)

then i'm sure the new term "rock" replaced the old rock which is now called hard rock...Rotlung said:
like pushing aside?
"rock" : Hey, get out of da way rock! thats my place...
rock : Where do i go?
*"rock" bumps rock into "hard rock"
"rock" : there u go...
something like that?
I wouldn't even accept a change in the terminology. However, like you said, today's music is "Rock", not Rock. How true.
The Beatles were not Hard Rock. Eric Clapton wasn't Hard Rock. Bob Dylan wasn't Hard Rock. Hard Rock isn't a new term for Rock. All your different Rock styles are subsets of Rock. Who disagrees with the last statement?
