1 Rock and Roll Rock and Roll (or simply Rock ) is a type of popular music that originated in the United States and has been evolving since the late 1940 s and early 1950 s. This form of music bears the influence of the Blues, Jazz, Gospel, and other African- American musical styles. The music most often features a back beat, a syncopated emphasis on beats 2 and 4 in quadruple meter. Where early Rock also featured the shuffle rhythm of Jazz and many Blues songs, it later developed a straight, even rhythm which distinguished it from Jazz. In early Rock bands, the saxophone or piano was often the lead instrument. But the electric guitar (which had been invented in the early 1940 s) soon took over, and has been the most popular lead instrument of Rock since the 1950 s. Classic Rock bands have the following instrumentation: 1 or 2 electric guitars, string bass or electric bass guitar, and drum set. Beyond a simple musical style, Rock and Roll greatly influenced lifestyles, fashion, social attitudes, and language. It has been said that Rock and Roll may have contributed to the Civil Rights movement, since young Americans of all races enjoyed this music.

4 Progressive ( Prog ) Rock and Glam Rock 1970 s Progressive Rock music was characterized by complex musical form, changes in tempo and texture, and full instrumentation sometimes sounding like an orchestra. It was not generally dance music, but concert music. These bands were also highly experimental in the recording studio, introducing electronic keyboard and synthesizer sounds, and effects of all kinds.
