kinds of rock


There are all kinds of music like rap, country and pop but the best kind of music is rock and roll. In rock and roll there are a few kinds of rock like classic rock, southern rock, glam rock, Arena Rock ,Blues Rock British Invasion ,Death Metal/Black Metal rockabilly and much more. In the late  1940’s  and the early 1950’s  rock and roll made their way to the united states. When it started up   in the united states the people who were singing in were mostly African Americans  and  some of the music artists from the 1950’s were  Big Joe Turner, Bill Haley and His Comets, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly and the Crickets. When the 1960’s came around rock and all just blew there the roof. With the great artist of the Beatles, led zeppelin, the kinks, cream, animals Simon  and  Garfunkel Jefferson Airplane  and  White Rabbit , the rolling stones , The beach boys and bob Dylan. In the summer of 1967 young   people from San Francisco started not to care about real life and became hippies and not caring about the law. Doing whatever they wanted    and the music they all listen to was  Bob Dylan, the Doors and the Rolling Stones. In 1969 the biggest rock and roll festival was ever played and it was called Woodstock. Woodstock was   biggest get together of hippies to music to rock and roll and to do drug ever. When the 1970s and 80’s came around with the musicians  like tom petty ,AC DC,  pink Floyd , kiss , twisted sister ,Judas  priest  and quiet riot. After those years were over rock and roll started to die off some. The younger kids were not into that music  anymore they are more into pop and hip hop, But still rock and roll is still around today  it’s just not a lot of people listen to it anymore.
