White rock music developed primarily in two places: southern California (see music of California), where musicians like Dick Dale (Surfers' Choice) invented surf rock, and Britain, where mod and Merseybeat bands (such as The Who (The Who Sings My Generation) and The Rolling Stones) (The Rolling Stones (England's Newest Hitmakers)) began playing their own version of rock that drew more heavily upon American blues pioneers like Bo Diddley ("Mona" (aka "I Need You Baby")), Howlin' Wolf ("Evil"), Muddy Waters ("I Be's Troubled") and Jimmy Yancey ("The Fives") than their American counterparts, who mostly played a polished form of pop.
