Sequencing Rock Music

Rock music is a lot different from other types of music. There’s a bunch of different playing styles that rock bands use that you’re never listening to the same music.

There’s also harder types of rock and sometimes people even scream this may be considered Metal or Hard rock. Rock Music is different from every other style of music. In other styles like rap you’re rhyming and in R&B you’re usually singing about love or a lost relationship.

The first record of Rock music was released in 1951. The album was Ike Turner’s Rocket 88. Rock started quickly with hits from Bill Haley and the comets in 1952 and Elvis Presley in 1953. By 1956 people branched off of rock music making there own style of rock. The first people to do this were the White rockers who made Rock/Hillbilly also called Rockabilly.
