Rock music

2007-11-21T23:21:25Z

BrentM: at least be consistent with the apostrophes!

'''Rock music''' is a style of [[music]] derived from the blues, characterised by a prominent [[drum]] beat in 4:4 time, accompanied by electric bass [[guitar]] providing the harmonic underpinning for the melody of electric guitar and vocals.

[[Elvis Presley]] and [[Buddy Holly]] were early pioneers of Rock in the late 1950s, as were the [[Beatles]] and [[Rolling Stones]] throughout the 1960s. In the 1970s the stadium rock of bands such as [[Boston]] and [[Pink Floyd]] became formulaic and overwrought, setting the stage for a backlash called [[Punk rock]] which evolved, with the addition of synthesizers, into [[New wave]] well into the 1980s. By the latter half of that decade, [[Glam rock]] had stultified into MTV-friendly "hair metal", and the stage was set for Nirvana and the Seattle scene, a darker and heavier version of punk known as [[Grunge]]. By 1994 and the death of [[Kurt Cobain]], grunge had changed into the stable formula of alternative rock that continues to be popular today.

Rock music sometimes includes lyrics that promote drug use, immoral sex, and violence, but the same is true for many other forms of music as well.<ref>[http://www.ericbarger.com/articles/RockMusic.html]</ref> <ref>[http://www.temcat.com/Chritian-Living/battle.htm]</ref>
