Rock n Roll

Rock and roll also known as rock ’n’ roll is a form of music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s, with roots mainly in blues, country, folk and gospel music.Rock and Roll was revolutionized by notable artists like Elvis Presley , Beatles and Chuck Berry. Classic rock and roll has a rhythm,lead guitarist and bassist and then the drummer.The guitars are either played in clean mode or by using a mild overdrive and the themes include party,sexuality, social issues and personal topics.

Teen idols of the rock and roll years were followed by many other artists with massive appeal to a teenaged audience, including the Beatles and the Monkees. Teen idols were not only known for their catchy pop music, but good looks also played a large part in their successes.

Rock and roll has carved a unique niche in the society and has influenced not only music but also lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language.It has spawned a new dance style and also influenced the later on forms of music like rock music.
