Rock and Roll emerged as a defined musical style in America in the 1950s, though elements of rock and roll can be seen in rhythm and blues records as far back as the 1920s.
While mainstream rock music was no longer able to shock or offend, new forms of music, particularly Punk rock and Rap emerged to fill this role; people who as youths delighted in the effect rock and roll had on their parents found themselves railing in a similar fashion against their children's music.
Rock musicians and fans have consistently struggled with the paradox of "selling out" -- to be considered "authentic", rock music must keep a certain distance from the establishment and its constructs; however certain compromises must be made in order to become successful and to make music available to the public.

Rock group (or later rock band) is a generic name to describe a group of musicians specializing in a particular form of electronically amplified music.

In Britain of the early 1960s the term rock group was in universal use, but as psychedelia approached the name band came into vogue, typified by The Band.

 Geological Society - Teaching Resources - Rock Group Definitions
Sedimentary rocks are formed at the Earth's surface from the weathered and eroded fragments of pre-existing rocks (clastic sedimentary rocks, eg, quartz sandstone), from the hard parts of animals or plants (organic sedimentary rocks, eg, shelly limestone, coal), or from the precipitation out of solution of dissolved minerals (chemical sedimentary rocks, eg, rock salt, gypsum).
Metamorphic rocks are formed from the mineralogical and/or textural transformation, in the solid state, of pre-existing rocks due to the action of temperature and/or pressure.
Metamorphic rocks that have been subjected to deep burial typically display a foliated texture due to the parallel alignment of some constituent minerals (as in schist) or the segregation of minerals into separate bands of different composition (as in gneiss).

There are several subcategories within the acoustic guitar group: classical and flamenco guitars, both of which use nylon and composite strings, and steel string guitars, which includes the flat top, or "folk" guitar, the closely related twelve string guitar, and the arch top guitar.

 Testimonies of Young People who left Christian Rock
Rock is wrong and addictive and has contributed to my moral failure.
Even 'Christian rock' sometimes makes me feel like going out and getting rowdy or even hurting someone else if they provoke me, and that is against all of God's teachings, and everything God stands for.
Without going into further detail of my own life, it is my hope that the sins of my past can be used as a testimony for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 Rush as a Rock-Mysticism Group
I've searched far and wide, on the lyrics server, for acid rock songs by all groups, and it is striking how they are inconsistent about pointing to altered state phenomena.
With other outstanding inspired groups such as Led Zeppelin and the Beatles, there are albums heavily inspired by acid, but even then, the lyrics are less consistently directed at such allusions.
Because of these factors, we have arrived at a situation like 2112, where this discovery is shunned and dismissed by the establishment, and even the world of rock has been taken over and refuses to listen to this marvelous wonder.

 PHILADELPHIAWEEKLY.COM>>A&E ROCK SNOB ENCYCLOPEDIA
Big Star was the sound of four Memphis boys caught in the vortex of a time warp, reinterpreting the jangling, three-minute Brit-pop odes to love, youth and the loss of both that framed their formative years, the mid-'60s.
That Big Star's recorded legacy would go on to inspire countless alternative acts is one of pop history's cruelest ironies--everyone from R.E.M. to the Replace-ments to Eliott Smith would come to see Big Star as the great missing link between the '60s and the '70s and beyond.
Drummer Jody Stephens, the wide-eyed innocent of the group, and bassist Andy Hummel, the sly-grinning sphinx with the glam-rock hair, were the shepherds in the manger, midwives to the miracle birth.

My business manager's really conservative, and he thinks that a musician's income is so shaky, you don't know from year to year how much money you're going to make or when the income's going to stop, that it's not safe for a musician to own stock.
Sometimes I think that one of these days I'm going to hear about a little company, and I'm going to know in my heart that they're going to do great, and then I'll buy stock in that.
I think with me it would have to be something I really believed in that I thought was really going to make it, and it would be doubly satisfying if they did well.
