Best Answer

The 1950s term would have been "rock and roll" band (or in some cases the country-influenced "rockabilly"). Not counting the great solo stars such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and others, some notable "rock" or rhythm bands included:

  • Bill Haley and the Comets
  • The Mystics
  • Dion and the Belmonts
  • The Coasters
  • The Dell Vikings
  • The Platters
  • The Crows (doo wop)
  • The Turbans
  • Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm
  • The Dominoes (mainly rhythm and blues)

*The Beatles officially appeared around 1960, and The Beach Boys in 1961.
