rock

Rock generally refers to the 1960s form of music (Beatles, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, etc.) which grew out of the original Rock & Roll of the 1950s, first originated by artists like Chuck Berry, and then popularized by people like Elvis Presley.

Since the sixties, it has grown and morphed into various sub-genres such as Punk.  There are, of course, Rock purists who only prefer the original Classic Rock genre, and other sixties and seventies hybrids like psychedelic or acid-rock.

Rock is such a popular tag because so many bands fall into the category, even if only slightly. However, the quintessential rock band includes a singer, guitarist, bass player, and drummer. Bloggers may tag posts Rock for a variety of reasons including reviewing an album, writing about a concert they went to, comparing the merits of a range of bands, or dishing on the latest news on their favorite artists.

• Good Hair

  
  Poptimal.com — Authority: 514
  The same thing that makes you laugh makes you cry.  This old saying best describes my thoughts about Chris Rock’s documentary Good Hair .  As a Black woman I was very curious to see just what this film was all about.  Notions of “good” and “bad” hair have existed within the Black community since time ...

  All Metal Resource — Authority: 131
  Technicality and elegance amongst the progressive elite didn’t start in metal, and in fact, all of the hallmarks that make progressive “metal” so impressive can all be traced back to the greats that made progressive rock separate from the rest of the world. Dead Heroes Club is not metal, but they are ...

  Uh-oh. This week’s 30 Rock guest star is Nate Corddry .

I know it’s been three years but I’m still not ready to handle the idea of a 30 Rock/ Studio 60 ...

  Firedoglake — Authority: 764
  Arkansans who speak with our Eve at the Little Rock health fair today are embarrassed that they can’t afford to go to the dentist or the doctor.
