The document summarizes musical artists from the 1960s-2000s including Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, Prince, The Police, and Madonna. It describes the musical characteristics of this era as having more upbeat but not necessarily happy lyrics, moderate to fast tempos, occasional call-and-response elements, repetitive verse-refrain patterns, and a texture that was more synthesized and focused on vocals rather than instruments. The musical styles of this period differed from 1950s rock by featuring less guitar and more synthesizers, as well as more vocals throughout songs rather than instrumental verses.
