Prog Rock & Metal
Rock music started to splinter into many different sub-genres during the seventies, giving us prog-rock, metal, and punk to name but a few. Although many of today’s bands have varied influences and styles, they basically fall into the rock category. Continuing on from bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, shows and showmanship got bigger and grander. The stage settings became more and more excessive and a theatrical element crept into the genre during the 1980s including huge screens, pyrotechnics, ego ramps, high wire routines..! With the advent of grunge music in the 1990s suddenly rock made a slight return to its roots. These days rock bands incorporate a variety of influences, but many of the original characteristics of early rock and rock ‘n’ roll remain. |
