	Rock and roll
		, and by governmental repression, rock flourished in the Chinese counterculture.
		The influence of rock and roll is far-reaching, and has had significant impact worldwide on fashion, film styles, and attitudes towards sex and sexuality and use of drugs and alcohol.

	Rock and roll
		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.
		Early rock and roll combined elements of blues, boogie woogie, jazz and rhythm and blues, and is also influenced by traditional folk music, gospel music, fl and white, and country and western.
		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 Music - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		The first type of rock music, rock and roll, originated in the United States in the 1950s, and was largely derived from music of the American South.
		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.

	Social effects of rock and roll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The social impact is so large that rock stars are worshipped worldwide and often performances of several artists in diverse arts and cultures are scaled to and appreciated as being close to that of a "rock star".
		Many of rock and roll's early stars (as well as their jazz and blues counterparts) were known as hard-drinking, hard-living characters; during the 1960s a decadent rock lifestyle became more publicly known, aided by the growth of the underground rock press which documented such excesses, often in exploitative fashion.
		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 it is widely believed that certain compromises must be made in order to become successful and to make music available to the public.

	KeysDAN - Rock music
		Rock music (often referred to as rock n roll, rock) is a form of popular music from the mid 20th century which typically features a vocal melody (often with vocal harmony) that is supported by accompaniment of electric guitars, a bass guitar, and drums, often with a strong back beat.
		Rock and Roll came from a fusion of musical cultures, and in turn its influence fed back to these cultures, a process of borrowings, influences that continues to develop rock music.
		The culmination of rock and roll as a socially-unifying force was seen in the rock festivals of the late '60s, the most famous of which was Woodstock which began as a three-day arts and music festival and turned into a "happening", as hundreds of thousands of youthful fans converged on the site.

		Alternative rock is a form of rock and roll that has developed over the last few years as a reaction to the commercial nature rock music took on during the 1980s.
		Rock is instrumental in youth's ability to construct a culture that is distinct from mainstream culture.
		He begins by explaining that alternative rock is a rebuttal to the "selling-out" attitude of the previous generation and a return to the spontaneity and crispness that rock posessed in the 1950s and 1960s.

	Rambles: David P. Szatmary, Rockin' in Time: A Social History of Rock-and-Roll
		And the ebbs and flows of rock's attention to social issues -- or on the flip side its purely escapist tendencies -- are explored through hundreds of quotes drawn from mainstream and underground music press sources.
		Unfortunately, by choosing to focus on the importance and impact of a particular singer or band before moving on to the next act, Szatmary is frequently forced to leap about in time.
		Szatmary's love of the early days of rock and of the dynamic interplay of music and social issues that defined the folk and punk eras becomes most obvious through his rather lackluster chapters on more recent musical developments such as hip-hop and nu-metal.

		The impact of rock music is being felt not only on the secular society, but also in many Christians churches which have adopted sanitized forms of rock music for their worship services and their evangelistic outreach.
		The apotheosis, that is, the deification of rock stars, is very important to the rock and roll religion, because it provides to the rockers the idols to be worshipped and to be imitated in real life.
		Rock music, sex, drugs, and dance, are important rituals of the rock religion, because they are supposed to provide to its followers the means to transcend the limitation of time and space and experience the supernatural.

	Rock & Roll Instrumentals - Walk Don't Run!
		While instrumentals have generally been viewed by rock critics as a category of novelty material which has had little impact on rock history, the genre did enjoy a brief run as a seminal style in the early 1960s.
		Rock instrumentals were originally performed by r and b dance outfits in vogue throughout the 1950s.
		However, by this time the glory days of rock instrumentals were already numbered due to competition from newly emerging styles such as soul music, the girl groups, and the dance crazes.

	Robert Christgau: It's Barely Rock and Roll, But I Like It: Simon Frith's "Sound Effects"
		At his best he writes about rock and roll with a calm warmth that is balanced, amusing, committed, and original.
		He wants to amaze intellectuals who know virtually nothing about rock and roll: Frankfurt-school theorists who dismiss all "mass culture" as ruling-class propaganda, humanities profs who are convinced pop can't be art, and social scientists who regard all art/culture as grist for their mill.
		And one of the things rock and roll has convinced the leftist journalist in me is that such individual instances are more significant than any percentages can indicate.

		The History of Rock‘N’Roll touches on how rock changed society, especially in America, but its primary focus is on the sense of joy and release the music conveyed to its fans.
		Sixties garage rock is not mentioned in the chapter on the psychedelic era, "My Generation," nor is the rise of progressive-rock bands in England, such as Pink Floyd or King Crimson (a subject excellently covered in the PBS series, if memory serves).
		The significance of FM rock radio is shoehorned into the chapter on Dylan, "Plugging In." The chapter on the British Invasion and America’s reaction feels rushed, but it was a rushed time.

		From the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco in the mid-1960s sprang the hippie movement that espoused free love, psychedelic drugs, and hard-edged rock music.
		The music, which came to be known as the "San Francisco Sound," evolved into psychedelic rock and acid rock.
		The vibrant social and music scene was fueled, in part, by two local clubs that booked rock bands from the Haight-Ashbury community, such as Big Brother and the Holding Company and Jefferson Airplane, as well as those touring in the region, such as the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
