1960's Music played in the 60's Bands groups singers memories from The People History Site The 1960's were a time of upheaval in society, fashion, attitudes and especially music. Before 1963, the music of the sixties still reflected the sound, style and beliefs of the previous decade and many of the hit records were by artists who had found mainstream success in the 1950s, like Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Dion, and The Everly Brothers. In 1963 and the years to follow, a number of social influences changed what popular music was and gave birth to the diversity that we experience with music today. The assassination of President Kennedy, the escalation of the war in Vietnam and the forward-progress of the Civil Rights Movement all greatly impacted the mood of American culture and the music began to reflect that change. The "British Invasion" also began around 1963 with the arrival of The Beatles on the music scene and the type of rabid fandom that followed them would change the way people would view and interact with music and musicians forever.

Changing the World: Rock 'n' Roll Culture and Ideology (Summary) Changing the World: Rock 'n' Roll Culture and Ideology by David N. Townsend Synopsis The premise of this work is that rock 'n' roll matters, and that it means what it says. What's even more disturbing is that these attitudes often seem to be held by fans of rock music themselves. In defiance of this trend, and in view of the apparent retreats from idealism that have permeated the past decade or two, this book celebrates rock 'n' roll as a legitimate art form, and more, as a strong current in American and world culture, which contains a central and coherent ideology, as viable as any other ideology competing for primacy on the world intellectual stage. Rock 'n' roll can be described in such cohesive terms only if it is more than just a popular consumer entertainment medium: it must be a self-contained "movement," which adherents choose to "join," and by so choosing accept its terms.

Sommes-nous passés à côté de la vague métal 80 en France ? Nouveau phénomène de mode avec des « people » qui portent des tee shirts Motorhead ou Slayer, regain d’intérêt avec les affiches nostalgiques du Hellfest, découverte du glam avec BlackRain sur M6, avons-nous oublié la période bénie des années 80s pour le métal dans l’hexagone ? Bon, chez Time To Blast autant le dire tout de suite beaucoup n’ont pas connu cette période, mais nous avons aussi des anciens, coup de gueule de notre cher Anielo. Alors comme ça, tu dis que la France est passée à côté de la vague métal des années 80??? Je ne vais pas revenir sur le bien ou le mal de voir les peoples à la con rendre tendance l’imagerie métalleuse, mais sur le fait que l’on était pas du tout à la ramasse à l’époque… Loin de là… Alors toi qui me lit, assis toi tranquillement dans ton fauteuil, allume ton clope, et c’est parti pour un bon en arrière de 30 ans… Dans mes souvenirs, Zegut n’était pas aussi muselé que maintenant. Tu peux écraser ton clope et retourner sur You Porn maintenant…
British rock and roll British rock and roll, or sometimes British rock 'n' roll, is a style of popular music based on American rock and roll, which emerged in the late 1950s and was popular until the arrival of beat music in 1962. It has generally been considered inferior to the American version of the genre, and made little international or lasting impact. However, it was important in establishing British youth and popular music culture and was a key factor in subsequent developments that led to the British Invasion of the mid-1960s. Origins[edit] History[edit] Tommy Steele, one of the first British rock and rollers, performing in Stockholm in 1957 The initial response of the British music industry was to attempt to produce exact copies of American records. Decline and revivals[edit] British rock and roll declined sharply in the face of the new beat music after 1962. Influence[edit] References[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b c d e f g h i R.
Elvis and Race in 1950s America | Rock and Roll: An American Story How did Elvis Presley’s early career reflect race relations and racial tensions in mid-1950s America? At the end of World War II, the United States sat poised on the brink of a Civil Rights movement that would challenge the nation’s inherent racial inequality and push for the integration of the races throughout American society. The second-class status of African Americans was a fact of life throughout the country, but particularly palpable in the Jim Crow South, where segregation prevented African Americans from voting, attending certain schools, sitting alongside whites on public transportation and even drinking from the same water fountains as whites. On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in Brown v. Two months after the Brown ruling, 19-year-old Elvis Presley released his first single on Sun Records.
A Brief History of Punk The Foundations of Punk Rock The beginnings of punk rock are often furiously debated. This is partially because everyone has different definition of punk rock, and partially because its foundation stones are found in several places. "Punk Rock" was originally used to describe the garage musicians of the '60's. Bands like the Sonics were starting up and playing out with no musical or vocal instruction, and often limited skill. The mid to late '60s saw the appearance of the Stooges and the MC5 in Detroit. The Velvet Underground is the next piece in the puzzle. The final primary influence is found in the foundations of Glam Rock. New York: The First Punk Rock Scene The first concrete punk rock scene appeared in the mid '70s in New York. The bands were unified by their location, camaraderie, and shared musical influences. While the New York scene was reaching its heyday, punk was undergoing a separate creation story in London. Meanwhile, Across the Pond Enter The Bromley Contingent
La musique rock et la culture rock depuis ses débuts La musique rock est un genre musical issu d’un métissage de plusieurs courants musicaux tels que le jazz, le blues, le folk et la country music. C’est aux Etats-Unis que le rock trouve son origine. Ce style trouve son origine dans les milieux modestes du Sud du pays. Contrairement aux styles musicaux de l’époque, le rock américain est chanté aussi bien par les noirs que par les blancs. L’apparition des instruments électriques est aussi pour beaucoup dans les origines de la musique rock. Le terme rock’n’roll commence à être largement utilisé dès 1951. 1954 marquera sans nul doute un tournant dans l’histoire du rock américain. Ecouté, adoré, popularisé, le rock américain finit par devenir également un peu trop galvaudé. Le rock est aujourd’hui un style au visage multiple.

In 1950 RCA introduced the first 12 inch LP, followed in 1951 by the introduction of the 7" single. Both standards that still exist for vinyl recordings to this day. So with the birth of Rock 'n' Roll, the new standard of the 7 inch single would become the iconographic image around which the new Rock 'n' Roll music took it's physical form. In 1953 Elvis made his first studio recordings, cutting a personal disc in the now infamous Sun Studios in Memphis. With The BBC beginning broadcasting in FM for the first time in 1955 and stereo vinyl becoming the dominent media of all recorded music, the new era of Rock 'n' Roll saw in a new era of quality in music delivery. << Back to the 1940's | On to the 1960's >>
