"People havn't always been there for me but music always has"- Taylor Swift
Music has and are always been there from past till present and still continues.Life knocks you down, music helps you to get up. Past music were instrumental and mostly sung or played in church.
Talking about the present music, the rock and roll genre started from 1950s which is still popular today.one of the 1st group to start this type of music is Bill Haley and his comets. Formed in 1952, the band is considered the revolutionary era
with their energetic behaviour, which is still used by the present day band. No doubt the most popular figure of 1950s was Elvis Presley also know as the "king of rock and roll". He started his career in 1954 and showed his rock and roll genre.
After the successful start of the rock and roll genre in 50's came the same trend still continued in 60's. In 1960 came the "Motown Record Corporation" first recording music center.It was in 60's when Bob Dylan lead us from the days of audio and brought us the music video. His single "subterranean homesick blues" brought with it a first ever music video.
After 60's, music took a great new step. Came 1970 where the music entered the rock genre.This century brought us many of the most famous rock bands of all time, for example Aerosmith (officially formed in 1971) a worldly famous American hard-rock band, so much so they are often referred to as " America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band ". The band signed a record deal with Columbia records in 1972 after which they released some of their most memorable songs such as Sweet Emotion (1975) which became the band’s first single within the top 40. The hard-rock was a subgenre of rock taken to a whole new level by 70’s band KISS (formed 1973) were famous for their overly-creative outfits and highly distinctive face paints. KISS’s fame arose mostly with their crazed life performances which mostly consisted of, blood spitting, fire breathing and even levitating instruments. This helped KISS to remain a well-known group today, their unique style even appearing in the 2008 comedy ‘Role Models’. The rock genre began to become more associated with the younger generations as they could relate their angst to the aggression shown by these bands in performances etc… It was during this century (1974/76) that Punk Rock , the worldly-known subgenre was formed.
