What rock music from the 50s 60s and 70s can you actually dance to? Why is most classic rock undanceable?

Being pedantic, it depends on what you classify as "Rock" as distinct from "Rock 'n Roll", "Pop" etc. What I would call "Rock" didn't come into being until the late 1960s, from bands such as Cream, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix etc.

@ArtieKat They were the beginnings of heavy metal, the beginnings of rock can be attributed to Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

@NativePortlander1970 I like her but she is classified as rock 'n' roll - which is not interchangeable with "rock"

@ArtieKat If they're not interchangable, why is it called the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME, hmmm?
