but....it was also right around the time where proto-punk was all over detroit...
grargh.
it's just really surreal to see a barrage of hipsters that are somehow surprised that glam and punk existed in detroit in the early 70s. whatever. back to your "music began in 1976" regularly scheduled programs.

rock itself is mostly a splice of folk & blues. how you choose to augment the sound beyond that (with classical orchestrations or horn arrangements or electronic textures or ...) defines the subgenre. but, when you strip aside the embellishment, what you get is the combination of blues and folk.
