Rock Music Timeline
Today's site, from rock music devotee Joel C. Mellor, offers an engaging
publication outlining the flowering of one of the 20th century's most
significant contributions to pop culture. Gentle Subscribers will discover
riveting details of the history of the genre from its 1950's origins to its
state at the turn of a new century.
"An online chronology of rock and roll history. Experience rock & roll in
the order it happened, decade by decade, year by year, and month by month.
Enjoy vintage band photos, important events in music history ... With Rock
Music Timeline I am attempting to share rock & roll's roots and evolution
with details from specific years and decades in rock music history. Obviously
it's impossible to be comprehensive, but I have tried to balance both the top
hit artists, as well as other influential music that might not have been as
popular."- from the website
With the dedicated ardor of the true fan, this enthusiastic presentation
provides a first-rate resource on the individuals and groups who were
instrumental in creating rock & roll. Pleasantly designed by decade, the
site features articles on the genre's development, lists of chart-soaring
singles, along with stories and photos of the musicians. In addition to the
Timeline, an ongoing blog spotlights intriguing details of rock's continuing
ability to fascinate with a report of Life Magazine's 1971 photo shoot of
iconic rock figures Elton John, David Crosby, and Eric Clapton among others, at
home with their parents.
