A Celebration of Rock Music: Its Evolution and Greatest Bands
People have likely heard of rock music as there are some who still enjoy it today and it dates all the way back to the 1950s. It is a mix of rhythm and blues, country, folk, and many other musical types which all contributed to rock’s success and development while defining its course in the future.
The Genesis and Progression of Rock
The 1960s saw the beginning of creativity in rock as bands began to mash their influences and search for new musical frontiers. The Beatles were a band that came out of Liverpool to become one of the best rock bands in the history of music through their songs, lyricism, and appeal. In contrast, The Rolling Stones demonstrated orthodoxy and audacity in a manner that complemented the “Fab Four.”
Subgenres and the Eras They Define
With time rock was not stagnant with:
- 1970s: The emergence of progressive rock, glam rock, and punk established ideologies of the genre. Groups such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Queen mesmerized their fans with elaborate performances and new sounds. On the other side Punk groups like The Ramones and Sex Pistols added aggression and controversy to the whole thing.
- 1980s and Beyond: Rock still moved on with heavy metal, new wave and alternative rock. Iconic groups such as AC/DC, Metallica, and Guns N’ Roses carried the power of the genre, while U2, The Cure, and R.E.M. gave it new ideas and sound.
