What is Rock

The term rock is used to refer to hard, sustained drumming reinforced by three chords and a melody with a mouth. Early rock music came from a wide variety of sources, the main ones being blues, R&B, and country music, with others being gospel, traditional pop, jazz, and folk music. All of these influences add up to a simple blues-based song structure that is fast, danceable, and memorable. The first rock stars - Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, the Everly Brothers, Carl Perkins, and many others - set the mold for rock 'n' roll that would be followed for the next four decades. In each decade, there have been many artists who have copied the music of the first rockers, and others who have expanded the definition of rock and roll and broken the boundaries of the genre. From the British Invasion, to folk rock, to psychedelic rock, to hard rock, to heavy metal, to glam rock, to punk, virtually every offshoot of rock was initially true to rock's most basic structure. But once that changed, traditional rock faded from the pop charts - and there were some artists who stayed on the radar, of course. There were bands like the Rolling Stones and the Faces, who stayed true to the basic rules of traditional rock, but made their music faster and freer. Other bands, such as prototypical punks the Velvet Underground, the New York Dolls, and the Stooges, kept the basic structure of their music but added a more intimidating element to their act. Other artists became rock traditionalists, such as Dave Edmunds and Graham Parker, who wrote songs and made records that never strayed far from the rock 'n' roll mold of the late '50s and early '60s. Although the term rock has come to refer to more and more different styles of music in the decades since its emergence, the essence of this music has never changed. Organized rock styles **** 158 categories, but as has been said, each band or each person is a style, so sometimes divided into too detailed is not too necessary, but only if we know that there are still so many styles of types of music in the world worth listening to.
