Overview

By the mid-to-late 1960s, rock music had solidified its place as a respected artform. No longer dismissed as disposable teen pop, it was widely recognized for its musical and cultural significance. This course focuses on rock music from 1967-1980, including subgenres such as psychedelic rock, blues rock, progressive rock, and early punk. The social and historical context of this music, its major figures, and descriptions of musical characteristics and sounds will be explored. Discover the various sounds and cultural influences of this exciting era of rock music!
