Rock

Rock is guitar-driven music built on the bass-drums-electric-guitar lineup that grew out of 1950s rock and roll. Through the 1960s and 1970s it expanded into an entire family of styles — psychedelic, progressive, punk, metal, indie — and remains the foundational language of album-oriented music.
