Rock has, of course, undergone many, many changes since 1955, the year the movie Blackboard Jungle shocked the nation and introduced young audiences to "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and the Comets. They are given credit for introducing the country to rock'n'roll, although they did not invent this new form of music.
