evolved into different styles particularly in the U.K.. Rock it's self musically is centred
around the electric guitar with backing from a electric bass guitar. The golden age of rock
was the 1960s as it was a period of time where by a number of distinct rock music sub-genres
had emerged. These sub-genres include blues rock, country rock,punk rock and

The type of audience rock attracts has differed from time to time as back in the day rock
