 Rock and roll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 American South in the 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the country, and the world (rhythm sample).
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 and country and western.

 Blogcritics.org: Sunday Morning Playlist: Soft Rock
Soft rock as a genre distinction has come to refer specifically to a style of rock that emerged in the early 70's, both as a reaction against the increasingly heavy music that dominated rock at the time, and also as a reflection of the changing priorities of the Baby Boom in the early 70's.
What set 70's soft rock apart from its 60's counterpart, which for lack of a better word is usually just called "pop" is that in the 60's pop existed for those who simply didn't like rock; the 60's pop artists usually were vocalists who were stylistic throwbacks to the pre-rock era.
Soft rock developed organically to suit the needs of those who did have rock listening experience; as such, it can be considered a bona-fide rock genre.

 Amazon.com: Billboard Top Soft Rock Hits: 1971: Music
This a good collection of soft rock and pop from 1971 although the omission of Carole King's It's Too Late is a pity - it spent many weeks at No. 1 that year and is a perfect example of the soft rock style of the time.
Be fair, now, because the issue is not really what you think about the status of "Soft Rock" in the year 1971, but how good of a job this Billboard collection does of capturing the spirit of the times.
By that standard, this is certainly an excellent collection and the fact that these are not "rock" songs per se, or that "soft rock" is an oxymoron, does not really enter into it.

The new Soft Rock, which compiles nearly everything the band recorded that wasn't on Fiestas, is just as bizarre.
So did the one-off reunion gig on August 1, when they helped close down Brownies' rock stage (it became a two-off the following night, thanks to an offer to play a San Francisco wedding).
Apparently in the interest of keeping the original releases intact, the collection eschews chronology, sandwiching 1997's Half Dead and Dynamite, Lifter Puller's second album, between singles, demos, and compilation tracks, while disc two follows 1998's The Entertainment and Arts EP with their self-titled 1996 debut.

The basic circuits are valid for the AmQRP version of the Soft Rock, but some of the component names and board layout details on these pages do not match the level 4.0 board that AmQRP is kitting.
Further integration of a DDS and a micro controller with a Soft Rock 40 would allow for an inexpensive full band coverage SDR type receiver.
Some of these were done with versions of the Soft Rock that pre date the kit AmQRP is currently selling, so some of the pictures and diagrams on this site do not match the kit from AmQRP.
