	Rock Music - MSN Encarta
		Perhaps the most significant rock-music development of the 1980s was the rise of rap, a genre in which vocalists perform rhythmic speech, usually accompanied by music snippets, or samples, from prerecorded material or from music created by synthesizers.
		During the 1990s, trends that had been established during the 1980s continued, including growth in the popularity of genres such as rap, heavy metal, and worldbeat and the introduction of new technologies for the digital generation, transmission, and reproduction of sound.
		However, rock music is no longer limited to an audience of teenagers, since many current listeners formed their musical tastes during the golden age of rock and roll.

		In the Seventies, many were the dolefully sincere artists who with their music lamented the state of the world, and yet few had the wherewithal to do anything about it as the music industry declined.
		Even so, a musical genre based on sound sampling could not escape stylistic miscegenation; Run DMC rocked with their rap, and the Beastie Boys introduced us to what might be called heavy metal hip hop.

		The music industry became cautious due to a drop in sales of recorded music by almost $1 billion between 1978 and 1982 and a similarly precipitous decline in income from live concerts.
		The transformation of musical sound into digital files allowed music to be transmitted, reproduced, and manipulated in a virtual form, easily passing from one computer to another in a different part of the world in just minutes (or seconds).
		While the mainstream music industry establishes stars, reproduces and distributes music, and pursues the highest sales and profits possible, there is also a less-publicized part of the music world that includes entrepreneurs who run independent labels and musicians who create new styles.

	History of the Piano - Music Masters, Inc.
		The piano or pianoforte is a musical instrument whose sound is produced by vibrating strings struck by felt hammers that are controlled from a keyboard.
		During the 18th century changes in musical taste gradually favored the piano's greater volume and expressiveness, and the instrument had largely replaced the harpsichord and clavichord by 1800.
		In the 1980s computer and compact disc technology made possible the invention of a "reproducing piano," an instrument designed to recreate a pianist's playing, accurately capturing the nuances of the performance.

		But pop music is what we really have to thank the 80s for, with icons Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet at the helm — these two bands had a feud matched only by Blur and Oasis in the 90s and the hysteria surrounding them hadn’t been seen since the time of The Beatles.
		Synthesisers were taking over from ‘real’ instruments (Gary Numan, The Human League), rock was still big, the advent of the MTV generation mseant ‘manufactured’ pop acts started making their way onto the scene and Bros and New Kids On The Block paved the way for the boy bands of the 90s.

		Rap music had been an underground musical form until the mid-1980s, but the band Run-DMC reached a mass audience with its first album in 1982.
