The music sources of early rock music are very extensive, mainly blues, R& etc. B and country music, others include gospel music, traditional pop music, jazz and folk music. All these influences add up to a simple song structure dominated by blues, which is fast-paced, suitable for dancing and easy to remember. The first rock stars-Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, little richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, buddy holly, Bo Dudley, bill haley, Jean Vincent, Eternal Brothers, carl perkins and many others-established a rock-and-roll model, which people have been following for the next forty years. In every decade, many artists copied the music of the first batch of rock musicians, while the remaining artists expanded the original definition of rock and roll, and some artists completely broke the limited mode of this genre. From the British invasion, folk rock, psychedelic rock, to hard rock, heavy metal, gorgeous rock, and then to punk, in fact, every branch of rock is loyal to the most basic structure of rock from the beginning. But once this change happened, traditional rock gradually disappeared from the pop music charts-of course, some artists kept shining. Some bands, such as the Rolling Stones and the Faces, always adhere to the most basic rules of traditional rock, but they make music faster and more free. Other bands, such as the prototype punk underground velvet, New York doll, and clown, retain the basic musical structure, but their behavior has more threatening elements. Other artists have become rock traditionalists, such as Dave edmonds and Graham Parker. Their songs and records never broke away from the rock mode in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although the word rock and roll has begun to refer to more and more different music styles in the decades after its appearance, the essence of this music has never changed.
Because American rock music finally changed dramatically in the early 1960 s, that is, a group of British bands started from the Beatles and instantly entered the American market. Some people called it the first British invasion. Fortunately, there were still some orchestras in the United States at that time, such as the Beach Boys, which were similar to the Beatles and full of beautiful beaches, sunshine, beautiful women and waves. In addition, famous folk rock music full of national style followed, but besides Bob Dylan, there are many distinctive British singers such as Guerth or Ireland. However, in the late 1960s, American orchestras took the lead again, that is, psychedelic rock music led by 3J (jim morrison, jimi hendrix and janis joplin) became the most popular rock music at that time, but most psychedelic bands died quite early except for gratitude.
After the development in the 1960s, the rock styles in the 1970s were extremely rich. In the early 1970s, a gorgeous rock band led by David Bowie Ross. In addition, in order not to be limited by the existing rock types, progressive rock, classical rock and artistic rock rose immediately and became the new image of the music industry at that time. At the same time, jazz rock became famous. In addition, the most popular and longest-lived heavy metal (heavy metal) came into being throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Perhaps at present, the decibel solos of led zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath can be said to be the deafening rock genre at that time. Since then, heavy metals have been favored by rock fans through continuous evolution. In addition, country rock, California rock and southern rock, which are different from HM style, were also very popular in the 1970s. If the great event in the 1960s was the British invasion, then the great event in the 1970s was the punk rock that sprang up in the late 1970s, but just like the psychedelic rock in the late 1960s, punk didn't live long.
In the 1980s, except for the early punk style, heavy metals with the afterglow of the 1970s dominated. Almost all the beautiful 1980s were dominated by heavy metals (heavy metals), but they were still seeking innovation and change, and their styles were definitely different from the past, so they were also named as heavy metals in Sina. Under strong rock, except blue-collar rock, pop rock and reggae rock, if they can break through one day, they can win by skill.
Then in the early 1990s, Seattle Sound Grease Rock led the rock trend, but it was immediately overwhelmed by britpop, which was full of electronic music. Because these bands from all over Britain quickly conquered a new generation of rock fans, they were called the second British invasion. In addition, in the late 1990s, some alternative rock with punk style or full of electronic music also captured a considerable number of fans. Maybe the rock wave has passed, as MacArthur said, veterans are just dying, but new blood of rock is constantly emerging, electronic music, industry, hip-hop ... Maybe the rock style is not what it used to be, but at least it is a continuation of another rock type.
