shook up, while the likes of Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and the like were destroying the old safety nets with a virile,
passionate new sound. Here are the top 100 tracks from the decade that that sparked a musical revolution.Words by

5. 1950sfashion
The blouse was fashionable during the 1950s,
worn with skirts or pants. Many blouses were
sleeveless or had very short sleeves. By the
late 1950s, the long, slim look had returned.
Long skirts or dresses were popular, often
worn with short jackets.

6. In North America and Europe the decade was particularly revolutionary in terms of popular music, as it saw the
evolution of rock. At the beginning of the 1960s, pop and rock and roll trends of the 1950s continued; nevertheless, the
rock and roll of the decade before started to merge into a more international, eclectic variant known as rock. In the
early-1960s, rock and roll in its purest form was gradually overtaken by pop rock, beat, psychedelic rock, blues rock,
and folk rock, which had grown in popularity.The country- and folk-influenced style[1] associated with the latter-half of
1960s rock music spawned a generation of popular singer-songwriters who wrote and performed their own work.

7. The 1960's were a time of upheaval in society, fashion, attitudes and especially music. Before 1963,
the music of the sixties still reflected the sound, style and beliefs of the previous decade and many of
the hit records were by artists who had found mainstream success in the 1950s, like Elvis Presley, Ray
Charles, Dion, andThe Everly Brothers. In 1963 and the years to follow, a number of social influences
changed what popular music was and gave birth to the diversity that we experience with music
today.

8. Fashion 1960s
The 1960s were an age of fashion innovation for women.The early 1960s gave birth to drainpipe jeans and
capri pants, which were worn by Audrey Hepburn. Casual dress became more unisex and often consisted of
plaid button down shirts worn with slim blue jeans, comfortable slacks, or skirts.
Mary Quant popularised the mini skirt, and Jackie Kennedy introduced
the pillbox hat;[1] both became extremely popular. False eyelashes were
worn by women throughout the 1960s. Hairstyles were a variety of lengths
and styles.[2] Psychedelic prints, neon colors, and mismatched patterns were
in style.[3] In the late 1960s,The hippie movement also exerted a strong
influence on women's clothing styles, including bell-bottom jeans, tie-
dye and batikfabrics, as well as paisley prints.

9. 1970s music
In North America, Europe, and Oceania, the decade saw the rise of disco, which became one of the biggest genres of
the decade, especially in the mid-to-late 1970s.[1] In Europe, a variant known as Euro disco[1] rose in popularity towards
the end of the 1970s. Aside from disco, funk, smooth jazz, jazz fusion, and soul remained popular throughout the
decade. It is this influx of popular music that soon transformed into rock and roll during the Early 1970s. Rock
music played an important part in theWestern musical scene, with punk rock thriving throughout the mid to late
1970s.[2] Other subgenres of rock, particularly glam rock, hard rock, progressive, art rock and heavy metal achieved
various amounts of success.
