cr47t Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 If you like listening to classic/oldschool rock, or like music from that genre/time (mainly 40s - 50s or 60s - 70s,) this is a thread I am making for you guys to share it with YCM.

.Rai Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Not to be pedantic, but Queen isn't rock and roll. Rock and roll was a 40s and 50s genre: Elvis, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly etc. Queen was super glam rock (well, for most of their well-known stuff anyway). What do want us to discuss?

What do want us to discuss?Well, discuss that, or the similar music style that came in the decades afterwards. I`m not an expert on music genres, i just like listening to music that I like.(Btw if queen isn`t rock n roll what genre are they besides bohemian rhapsody? If anyone knows, share it, it would be a nice help.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone knows, share it, it would be a nice help.) Queen are mostly glam rock, hard rock, things like that. They loved their melodrama. They were also influenced by traditions like gospel and opera. Rock n roll is an older, more traditional genre. Basically what Elvis sounds like, which is very different to Queen. Rock n roll comes directly from blues and R&B, and country music. In many senses of the word, it wasn't really a 'rock' genre as we'd know it at all. Rock acts are influenced by rock n roll, but they've took it in a totally different direction. I think the closest you come to rock and roll in modern day is neo-soul acts.

epicmemesbro Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I think he just meant to say classic rock. Classic rock involves various forms of its subgenres between 60s-80s. It includes rock n roll, hard rock at the time, punk rock, and experimental rock I think. So I suppose it can vary for instance Neil Young, Chuck Berry, David Bowie, and Van Halen fall under the classic rock category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susie Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I always hated the term classic rock but I still do like some of the bands that fall under that umbrella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
