Evolution of Rock Music (1950s-2020s)

[pausuri]

"Evolution of American pop-rock music" should be the title

[Suikogiru]

Let's be honest

The 60s - 90s was the golden era of rock

[aldifrpf]

The 1960s is the most revolutionary era for music. Most people wouldn't disagree if you use Smells Like Teen Spirit to characterize the 90s. But you would never find a music that truly defines the 60s, this was the period where music changes drastically and where modern music forms its first roots. I would say that The Beatles comes close as being the genre defining musical artists, though it's gonna be a whole lot more difficult if we have to narrow it to a single song.

It’s crazy that for a short time nirvana and queen co existed

[Lo-opss]

King gizzard be releasing 12 albums per second and this guy choose that

[dominicsdailyvlogs]

70s and 80s was the era of rock music! It’s by far the best genre of music ever created

[TravisMoore]

They passed the 60s without the Beatles is a crime

[cemaldonado]

There's not evolution of music without The Beatles.

Buddy holly, Elvis Presley, Ronnie van Zant: some of the best rockers I know of. Rip 🕊️

[GODNDYARD]

70s was the golden era of music in human history

[glumonion]

RIP Rock music 1955 - 2005
What a fifty years it was and feel privileged to have lived through all but four years of it

[omermesci]

Heater Skelter by the Beatles was a huge milestone

[Bird_the_absurd]

This does a great job of showing some of the most iconic rock songs of the generations

[undead.hxppie]

The 90s was one of the best eras of rock

[Kamcrayu]

It changed so much dude like holy crap

[zacharyvinson]

It’s like it went full circle with King Gizzard. Back to the psychedelia of the 60’s, I love it. Seems Australia has a huge wave of psychedelic rock right now. King Gizzard, Tame Impala, The Lazy Eyes, The Babe Rainbow, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, The Murlocs. I was born in the right generation, I have the entire Beatles and Pink Floyd discography at my fingers and all these great new bands continuing on the legacy in their own way

[tribalwriter]

There's a lot more music to the 70s. I guess if you think about it there's a lot more to every gen but 70s was so damn diverse. Like from pink Floyd to deep purple. That was music's prime for me.

[Atixonfficial]

This is what I think

50s- Johnny b Goode
60s- a day in the life
70s- stairway to heaven
80s- sweet child o mine
90s-wonderwall (I don’t care what u say)
00s- Can’t stop
10s- do I wanna know
20s- I don’t have the patience to find out

[OwenKufta]

Bro they did King Gizzard dirty with Hate Dancin’, literally could’ve used The Dripping Tap
Edit: after about a year I have come to the conclusion that this list sucks BALLS. If you’re listening to just “rock” in the modern era, you’re missing out. So so many subgenres are THRIVING right now and popular rock sucks (Obviously not Gizz though, check out PetroDragonic Apocalypse). Some stuff from the 2020s so check out would be:
For The First Time - Black Country, New Road,
The New Sound - Geordie Greep,
The Lamb as Effigy - Sprain,
After The Night - Parannoul,
Bright Green Field - Squid,
Rat Saw God - Wednesday,
And tons more good rock and related music is still being released, but boomers don’t see it because they don’t search for it. Obviously if you go into these with a closed mindset you aren’t gonna get shit outta them, but only you can change that.

70s was the best era of rock, hands down
