Alright, as the music geek I am I just gotta comment: Strictly speaking "rock'n'roll" as a genre has been dead for decades already - Even Elvis himself didnt record much that can be classified as rock'n'roll after mid 60s.
But what Elvis did, not only with his use of vocal and arrangements but indeed also regarding performance and visual appearance, is STILL a reference in a lot of todays music. There are no other artist ever in the history of music thats got the amount of references you find in modern music, videos, stage performance and fashion. Thats what we celebrate. :) Peace.
