Country rock is a musical genre formed from the fusion of rock and roll with country music. While such cross-pollination has occurred throughout the history of both genres, the term is usually used to refer to the wave of groups of the late 1960s and early 1970s who began to record country flavored records, including Neil Young, The Byrds, Gram Parsons and Bob Dylan with The Band. The term is also used for those who came after them, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Eagles, and the many bands they in ...

Wagnerian rock is a musical genre that was created by Jim Steinman due to his love for the music of Richard Wagner and Phil Spector. The genre is a merger (almost a musical hybrid) of twentieth century Rock & Roll and nineteenth century Opera reminiscent that of Wagner's and Spector's, and not to say the least, with a major distinctive touch of Steinman's own musical skills. The genre can be argued to be a subform of Rock opera. See also. anthem rock Holly Sherwood Fire I ...

The Australian Aboriginal population is for the most part urbanised, but a substantial number live in settlements (often located on the site of former church missions) in what are considered remote areas. The health and economic difficulties facing both groups are substantial. For example, life expectancy of Aboriginal people is about 20 years shorter than the wider Australian population. Aboriginal people, particularly youths, are substantially more likely to be imprisoned than the general population, and the rate of suicides in police cust ...

Credit for starting the Glam genre is often given to David Bowie or Marc Bolan of T. Rex. Proponents included Slade, Mud, Gary Glitter, Sweet, and at the more cerebral end of the scale, early Roxy Music including Brian Eno. In America, glam rock was most prominently represented by the proto-punk New York Dolls, whose sleazy Rolling Stones-influenced rawk-n-roll was matched by the wildly feminine look of the band. A sensation in New York City. Earlier, in 1968-69, Alice Cooper had arguably sketched the first hints of glam rock when they used a transvestite look and an overtly sexual ...

In the late 1950s the U.S. Beatnik counterculture was associated with the wider anti-war movement building against the threat of the atomic bomb, notably CND in Britain. Both were associated with jazz and with the growing folk song movement, which attracted idealistic communists and left-wingers working for an egalitarian overthrow of race discrimination in the U.S. and of the class structure in Britain. Rock and roll was seen as commercial pop, but subverted the race barriers in the U.S., and with the British invasion the reverence o ...

Whilst the exact definitions are of course arbitrary, it can be argued that the girl bands have a considerably longer history than boy bands. In the late 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s they were often manufactured by producers or record companies as a vehicle for the latest work by their resident songwriters, such as the work of Phil Spector and the early days of Motown. Even earlier, female pop music singing groups were long popular; "sister groups" like the Andrews Sisters and the Boswell Sisters actually were siblings. Groups such as the Boswells and the Keller Sisters and Lynch we ...

Main article: Australian rock Australia has produced a wide variety of popular and rock music. While many musicians and bands (some notable examples include the 1960s successes of The Easybeats and the folk-pop group The Seekers, through the heavy rock of AC/DC, and the slick pop of INXS and more recently Savage Garden) have had considerable international success, there remains some debate over whether Australian popular music really has a distinctive sound. Perhaps the most striking common feature of Australian music, like many other Australian art forms, is ...

Folk-rock arose mainly from the confluence of three elements: urban/collegiate folk vocal groups, singer-songwriters, and the revival of North American rock and roll after the British Invasion. Of these, the first two owed direct debts to Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and the Popular Front culture of the 1930s. The first of the urban folk vocal groups was the Almanac Singers, whose shifting membership during the late 1930s and early 1940s included Guthrie and Seeger and Lee Hayes. In 1947 Seeger and Hayes joined Ronnie Gilbert, and Fred ...

Credit for starting the genre is often given to David Bowie or Marc Bolan of T. Rex. The stars of Andy Warhol's play "Pork" are also considered influential. Wayne County was in particular an influence on David Bowie. In America, glam rock was most prominently represented by the proto-punk New York Dolls, whose sleazy Rolling Stones-influenced rawk was matched by the wildly feminine look of the band.

The Beatnik counterculture included ideas of changed consciousness, shared with writers like Timothy Leary and Aldous Huxley, whose book The Doors of Perception explored the idea of drugs stripping away barriers to thought and exposing unfiltered reality. Certain drugs including LSD were not illegal, and one of those experimenting was Ken Kesey who took part as a medical guinea pig in experiments with "psychomimetic" drugs in the late 1950s, and went on to gather like-minded people calling themselves the Merry Pranksters whose attempts to spread the message of psychedelic drugs developed into the Acid Tests of th ...

The term was coined in an interview with Pete Townshend of The Who in 1967, in which he said "power pop is what we play". As early as 1965, the Everly Brothers were playing music that can be called power pop; their "I'll See Your Light" displayed jangling guitars and an oblique harmonic approach that built upon the innovations of The Beatles and The Byrds. Those groups, along with The Who, are often cited as the progenitors of power pop. The Who, inspired by the melodicism of The Beatles and the driving rhythms of American R&B, put out s ...

Rock music - Disco. While Funk music had been part of the rock and roll scene in the early 1970s, it would eventually give way to more accessible songs with a danceable beat. The Disco format was propelled by such groups as K.C. and the Sunshine Band, MFSB, The Three Degrees, The O'Jays, Barry White, Gloria Gaynor, Chic, and The Trammps. Suddenly, many popular hits featured the danceable disco beat, and discotheques -- previously a European phenomenenon -- began to open in the U.S., notably Studio 54 in New Yo ...

The influence of rock and roll is far-reaching, and has had significant impact worldwide on fashion, film styles, and attitudes towards sex and sexuality and use of drugs and alcohol. This impact is broad enough that "rock and roll" may also be considered a life style in addition to a form of music. Rock music - 127 Underground Rock.
