Rock — artist
Rock is a genre characterized by its use of electric guitars, a strong rhythm section, and often, a focus on vocal melodies. Emerging in the mid-20th century, it draws significant influence from blues, country, and earlier forms of rock and roll. What defines rock music is its versatility, ranging from the raw, energetic sounds of punk rock to the elaborate compositions of progressive rock. Notable influences include artists like Chuck Berry, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin, each contributing to the genre's evolution and diversity.
