		Rock and roll (also spelled rock 'n' roll, especially in its first decade), is a genre of music that emerged as a defined musical style in the Southern United States in the 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the country, and the world (rhythm sample).
		Glitter rock, a short-lived genre in the mid-1970s, was an extreme exploration of the fantasy-side of the reality-fantasy parents of heavy metal.
		Rock is a form of popular music, usually featuring vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars, and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as the saxophone, are common in some styles, however saxophones have been omitted from newer subgenres of rock music since the 90's.

	Rock and roll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rock and roll emerged as a defined musical style in America in the 1950s, though elements of rock and roll can be heard in rhythm and blues records as far back as the 1920s.
		Early rock and roll combined elements of blues, boogie woogie, jazz and rhythm and blues, and is also influenced by traditional Appalachian folk music, gospel, Hillbilly and country and western.
		By the end of the 1960s the term rock and roll was being used for a very different kind of music, and in the 1970s rock 'n' roll revival acts such as Shakin' Stevens enjoyed a nostalgic comeback.

		The emphasis on repetitive circular rhythms, ornamentation (gamaka), the use of patterns, the sense of long, endless improvisations are the central characteristics of this music in term of practice and form.
		After Seventh sons’ first original but rather discreet effort simply called “raga” (1964), famous bands as the Beatles in “Revolver” and Traffic in their album “Mr Fantasy” will be seduced by the sonorities of Indian raga music, occasionally integrated sitar elements to their music.
		They are often recognised to practice a fusion between jazz rock harmonies and raga’s instrumentations (tabla, sitar…).

	A definition of Progressive Rock
		Progressive rock ("prog") is an ambitious, eclectic, and often grandiose style of rock music which arose in the late 1960s principally in England, reaching the peak of its popularity in the early 1970s, but continuing as a musical form to this day.
		Progressive rock artists sought to move away from the limitations of radio formatted rock and pop, and "progress" rock to the point that it could achieve the sophistication of jazz or classical music.
		Rock and Pop Bands and Artists after 1970 who were not truly “prog” (as that term is generally and broadly defined, even by the site), but who were clearly not “mainstream” or simply “rock” bands.

		Falguni Shah, popularly known as Falu and her band Falu music, which performed for a sellout crowd in downtown New York over the weekend, are quickly gaining recognition, with a remarkable blend of raga and rock.
		While critiques may argue that her effort is a blatant contamination of traditional sanity, it appears as if, Indian raga will continue to be heard in the clubs of downtown America, with a silver lining of contemporary rock.

	A Brief History of Indian Music
		The goal of the raga is to create a trancey state, to broadcast a mood of ecstasy.
		The main instrument of the ragas is the sitar, although historically the vina zither was at least equally important.
		Shankar was also instrumental in turning the raga into a product of mass consumption (he performed at both the 1967 Monterey Festival, the 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1971 Concert for Bangla Desh), but he soon repudiated his "pop" period and returned to classical music.

		Their are also some darker passage in the story to where the band even sounds well hard rock with a mix of metal at times.

	Misunderstood: Before The Dream Faded
		Recorded in late 1966, the six songs on side one show the group at the peak of their power, with striking instrumental innovations and interplay which anticipate Jimi Hendrix and the Pink Floyd months before either had recorded.
		Campbell is one of the best unheralded rock guitarists; his playing suggests the missing link between the Yardbirds and Hendrix, with amazing amplified Middle Eastern whines, wails, and explosions.
		Despite some recklessly revelatory lyrics, the group's nerve-wrackingly daring time changes, Indian-like modes and unconventional song structures along with their otherworldly interpretations (Who Do You Love, I Unseen), create a killer thrust which is on par with the best efforts of the era.

	Raga: 4am At Frank's by Seventh Sons CD
		One of the first bands, if not the first, to bring Indian raga into a rock context, the Seventh Sons may not be the sole inventors of the so-called "raga rock" fusion, but they are undoubtedly one of its earliest pioneers.
		These New York 'Sons' were experimenting with Eastern rhythms and instrumentation when "most groups thought that the sitar was an exotic automobile"(as the album's original liner notes state).
		In fact, originally recorded in 1964 (but not released until 1968), this album was made long before the Eastern music renaissance had what seemed like every rock band on both sides of the Atlantic grooving to the funky Indian 17-string.

		Certainly there were folk songs with a kind of droning structure before The Beatles introduced the sitar to rock n roll but without the "commercialization" of Indian music, I'm pretty confident there wouldn't have been any rock songs with Indian sounds.
		I guess Donovan did some stuff without sitar that could still be called "raga rock" so I guess there is such a thing.

		In fact, ESP-Disk released an album (in 1967) by a group called the Seventh Sons called RAGA that the liner notes claimed was recorded in 1964.
		If true, this would make it a pioneering raga-rock effort, although frankly, it's pretty light on the rock (aside from a fairly heavy rhythm section) and more in keeping with ESP's avant-jazz leanings.
		Philip Glass studied with Ravi Shankar in Paris in 1964, and he writes in his autobiography that it was during this period, when he was trying to do a standard Western notation of one of Shankar's pieces, that he hit upon the ideas that he would explore and refine for the rest of his career.
