Rock+Music

Rock Music Rock is a popular music genre that started in the late 1940’s in the United States. It has roots from rock and roll, country music, jazz, blues, folk music and classical music. Rock is recognized for its heavily accented beat, the simple phrases in the songs, and for its electronic instruments. Rock Music is usually performed by drums, electric guitars, bass and a vocalist forming a quartette, but now days there is more than one people playing the same instrument and the keyboard has also been included. (Wikipedia, 2010) This type of music was a rebellion since it started at the conservative years where it focused on sexual freedom, the opposite of pop that was the music of that time. ( Grierson, n.d.) This all started with Chuck Barry who also focused on classical blues, then new bands emerged such as The Beatles. Rock can be classified as the 7 ages of rock including the beginning of rock, art rock, punk rock, heavy metal, stadium rock, alternative rock, and indie. (BBC, 2007)
