  The Teen Idols
To many avid rock historians, the teen idols -- who were firmly entrenched on the top of the charts between the death of Buddy Holly and the rise of the Beatles -- represent the greatest threat to rock's survival that the music ever weathered.
"Teen idols" were by no means a phenomenon that began with the rock and roll era; bobbysoxers had been pining to the sound of mainstream pop crooners for a good decade or more before Elvis hit the scene.
