CLASSIC ROCK 101
Classic rock is a very wide genre and there are many speculations to what it is.
We here at Classic Rock 101 are here to help.
question WHAT IS CLASSIC ROCK question
Rock music began in the 50's based roughly off of blues and jazz with louder and crazier sounds, and was made popular by artists like Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley. These artists helped to establish the basic rock n roll sound. In it's early years, rock n roll was not widely accepted. Many people considered it to be primitive, obscene music associated with Hell and protested it heavily. It wasn't until the 60's that rock became widely accepted, thanks to artists like The Beatles and the Beach Boys. In the 70s, classic rock was selling out arenas with acts like KISS and Led Zeppelin and rock was then a form of art.
During it's early stages, it was unsure what direction rock music would go in. There were many different artists showcasing a variety of new sounds. Some were influenced by country, others by classical symphonic music. There wasn't one particular sound that was dominant over the others, and this made the 60's and 70's a very diverse and interesting era for music.
Many classic rock stations play "other" eras, like Motley Crue, Nirvana and Metallica. Don't get us wrong, we love some of these artists, but they are not classic rock. The cutoff for classic rock is 1979. After that is 80s rock, grunge, alternative etc. Please refrain from discussing these.
JUST BECAUSE YOU HEARD IT IN YOUR DAD'S PICKUP DOESN'T MEAN IT'S CLASSIC.
