  Rock Music - MSN Encarta
Rock musicians have pioneered new studio recording techniques, such as multi-tracking—a process of recording different song segments at different times and layering them on top of one another—and digital sampling, the reproduction by a computer of the patterns of a particular sound.
Rock and roll was a combination of the R&B (rhythm-and-blues music) style known as jump blues, the gospel-influenced vocal-group style known as doo wop, the piano-blues style known as boogie-woogie (or barrelhouse), and the country-music style known as honky tonk.
Another important center of rock music in the 1960s was Los Angeles, where film student Jim Morrison formed the group the Doors and guitarist and composer Frank Zappa developed a unique blend of risqué humor and complex jazz-influenced compositional forms with his group the Mothers of Invention.

 Tanya Stephens for remix with rock group Pepper - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
The members of the band are eagerly anticipating Stephens' vocals, and firmly believe that their fan base (who might be unfamiliar with the singer) will subscribe to the song.
The group is heavily influenced by reggae, and there is no doubt in my mind that Tanya will benefit greatly from this collaboration.
Upon completion, the song should be ready to be serviced to US alternative and rock radio stations by early February.

 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).

Rock groups such as Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Grateful Dead began experimenting with extended free-form improvisation while other groups such as Blood, Sweat and Tears and Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention directly borrowed harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and instrumentational elements from the jazz tradition.
The group went through many personel changes in its sixteen year existence and progressed from the open, loose style that characterized its sound in the '70's to a more structured, compositionally oriented style in the '80's.
His group featured the mellow, dreamy sound of his guitar, the lush synthesizer stylings of Lyle Mays, and the melodic yet uncompromising musical pieces that were to become his trademark.

 The devil's music - Salon
David and Kara were at the Lancaster Bible Church in Manheim, Penn., for a Christian rock concert.
A 2004 survey by the Barna Group found that "teen buyers of Christian music were just as likely as other teens to engage in music piracy." Nearly 80 percent of young people who purchase Christian music also download it illegally.
It is still possible to find fundamentalist Christians who hold that all rock 'n' roll is the devil's music, and that CCM is only a more deceptive variety.

 Boston.com / A&E / Music / Latin rock group Bacilos living busy life
The group toiled in Miami for a few years before releasing their first album "Bacilos," which netted two Latin Grammy nominations.
The band was forming a base that today fuses several musical styles -- rock, cumbia, ska, reggae, soca, bossa nova and others -- and layered the sounds of the violin, cello and brass instruments into their work.
Bacilos' musical diversity is born from the nuances of each of their cultures and the mixed salad of Latin American influences that permeate Miami.

 Reason to Rock: New Forms of Collaboration
The Beatles, and other rock groups that followed, discovered a way to create music together in such a way that the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.
In truth, all rock groups have always involved at least some of both — synergy and compromise — so there has always been some tension between the desire for individual expression and the cohesion necessary to form a group.
This pressure was increased by the sentiments of the rock press at the time, which focused on the contributions of individual group members — partly because it was so much easier to analyze these groups by decomposing them into their constituent parts, than to discuss the synergy between their members.

 Buffalo Springfield
Though their tenure was short, Buffalo Springfield was a pivotal rock group with an organic, home-grown musical approach that reverberated beyond the Sixties.
Along with the Byrds, the Buffalo Springfield laid the groundwork for the folk-rock and country-rock genres that took root in the Seventies.
Buffalo Springfield also recorded one of rock’s greatest topical songs, “For What It’s Worth.” A cautionary number inspired by clashes between police and youthful protesters on Los Angeles’s Sunset Strip, it was the only Buffalo Springfield single to make the Top Forty, reaching #7 in 1967.

 Christian Rock Downloads - Download Christian Rock Music - Download Christian Rock MP3s
As alternative CCM began to capture larger portions of the Christian rock audience during the mid- to late '90s, many Christian rock heavyweights conceded the impact of mainstream alternative rock and shifted their brands of hard rock accordingly, although Petra soldiered on into the new millennium with their sound virtually unchanged.
Petra is one of the most successful Christian rock bands ever, a veritable institution whose name (taken from the Greek word for "rock") has come to reflect not only their music, but their staying power as well, even in spite of Christian radio's reluctance to program their brand of loud, slick arena-rock.
The Christian rock band Whiteheart was formed in 1982 by singer Steve Green, guitarist Dann Huff, bassist Gary Lunn, keyboardists Mark Gersmehl and Billy Smiley, and drummer David Huff, most of the members alumni of Bill Gaither's group.

 Reason to Rock: The Beach Boys
So while the world (and the rest of the group) waited breathlessly for the masterpiece to be revealed, Brian continued to tinker and change direction, ultimately losing whatever focus on the next stage of the group's evolution he may have once had.
Also key to their artistic success during this period were a number of co-composers who enriched the group's lyrics, always one of the their weak points, especially in a post-Dylan rock landscape.
The rock audience had begun to splinter, and many baby boomers were unhappy with the music of the seventies.

With varying levels of Latin rhythmic accents in their music, Latin Rock bands like Mexico City's Caifanes have experienced great success in Latin America while receiving only small doses of airplay in the U.S., due mainly to the unwillingness of the major labels' non-Latin divisions to sign and promote music with Spanish vocals.

After her arrival in the group, Ann became romantically involved with guitarist Mike Fisher; when Nancy joined in 1974, she in turn began a relationship with guitarist Roger Fisher.
