Billboard Hot 100 chart, starting the British Invasion of the American music charts.

There were also regional variations in many parts of the country with flourishing scenes particularly in California and Texas.
[40] The Pacific Northwest states of Washington and Oregon had perhaps the most defined regional sound.
[41]The style had been evolving from regional scenes as early as 1958. "Tall Cool One" (1959) by
The Wailers and "
Louie Louie" by
The Kingsmen (1963) are mainstream examples of the genre in its formative stages.
[42] By 1963, garage band singles were creeping into the national charts in greater numbers, including
Paul Revere and the Raiders (Boise),
[43] the Trashmen (Minneapolis)
[44] and
the Rivieras (South Bend, Indiana).

It is generally agreed that garage rock peaked both commercially and artistically around 1966.
[40] By 1968 the style largely disappeared from the national charts and at the local level as amateur musicians faced college, work or the

[53] Pop-rock has been defined as an "upbeat variety of rock music represented by artists such as Elton John, Paul McCartney,
The Everly Brothers,
Rod Stewart,
Chicago, and
Peter Frampton."
[54] In contrast, music reviewer George Starostin defines it as a subgenre of
pop music that uses catchy pop songs that are mostly guitar-based. Starostin argues that most of what is traditionally called "power pop" (a term coined by
Pete Townshend of The Who in 1966, but not much used until it was applied to bands like
Badfinger in the 1970s),
[55] falls into the pop rock subgenre and that the lyrical content of pop rock is "normally secondary to the music."
[56] Throughout its history there have been rock acts that have used elements of pop, and pop artists who have used rock music as a basis for their work, or striven for rock "authenticity".

[63] The genre was continued in the 1970s by figures such as
George Thorogood and
Pat Travers,
[59] but, particularly on the British scene (except perhaps for the advent of groups such as
Status Quo and
Foghat who moved towards a form of high energy and repetitive
boogie rock), bands became focused on
heavy metal innovation, and blues-rock began to slip out of the mainstream.

[90] The Moody Blues used a full orchestra on their album
Days of Future Passed (1967) and subsequently created orchestral sounds with
synthesisers.
[89] Classical orchestration, keyboards and synthesisers were a frequent edition to the established rock format of guitars, bass and drums in subsequent progressive rock.
[91]
Instrumentals were common, while songs with lyrics were sometimes conceptual, abstract, or based in
fantasy and
science fiction.
[92] The Pretty Things'
SF Sorrow (1968) and The Who's
Tommy (1969) introduced the format of
rock operas and opened the door to "
concept albums, usually telling an epic story or tackling a grand overarching theme."
[93] King Crimson's 1969 début album,
In the Court of the Crimson King, which mixed powerful guitar riffs and
mellotron, with
jazz and
symphonic music, is often taken as the key recording in progressive rock, helping the widespread adoption of the genre in the early 1970s among existing blues-rock and psychedelic bands, as well as newly formed acts.

Hollywood glamor, through 1950s pin-up sex appeal, pre-war
Cabaret theatrics,
Victorian literary and
symbolist styles,
science fiction, to ancient and occult
mysticism and
mythology; manifesting itself in outrageous clothes, makeup, hairstyles, and platform-soled boots.
[105] Glam is most noted for its sexual and gender ambiguity and representations of
androgyny, beside extensive use of theatrics.
[106] It was prefigured by the showmanship and gender identity manipulation of American acts such as
The Cockettes and
Alice Cooper.

Led Zeppelin added elements of
fantasy to their riff laden blues-rock,
Deep Purple brought in symphonic and medieval interests from their progressive rock phrase and
Black Sabbath introduced facets of the
gothic and
modal harmony, helping to produce a "darker" sound.
[118] These elements were taken up by a "second generation" of heavy metal bands into the late 1970s, including:
Judas Priest,
Motörhead and
Rainbow from Britain;
Kiss,
Ted Nugent, and
Blue Öyster Cult from the US;
Rush from Canada and
UFO and
Scorpions from Germany, all marking the expansion in popularity of the sub-genre.
[118] Despite a lack of airplay and very little presence on the singles charts, late-1970s heavy metal built a considerable following, particularly among adolescent working-class males in North America and Europe.

[125] The following year saw punk rock spreading around the world. Punk quickly, though briefly, became a major cultural phenomenon in the United Kingdom. For the most part, punk took root in local scenes that tended to reject association with the mainstream. An associated
punk subculture emerged, expressing youthful rebellion and characterized by distinctive
clothing styles and a variety of
anti-authoritarian ideologies.
[127]
By the beginning of the 1980s, faster, more aggressive styles such as
hardcore and
Oi! had become the predominant mode of punk rock.
[128] Since punk rock's initial popularity in the 1970s and the renewed interest created by the punk revival of the 1990s, punk rock continues to have a strong underground cult following.
[129] This has resulted in several evolved strains of hardcore punk, such as
D-beat (a distortion-heavy subgenre influenced by the UK band
Discharge),
anarcho-punk (such as
Crass),
grindcore (such as
Napalm Death), and
crust punk.

In the late 1980s metal fragmented into a number of subgenres, including
thrash metal, which developed in the US under the influence of hardcore punk, particularly the style known as
speed metal, with low-register guitar riffs typically overlaid by
shredding leads.
[152] Lyrics often expressed
nihilistic views or deal with
social issues using visceral, gory language. It was popularised by the "Big Four of Thrash":
Metallica,
Anthrax,
Megadeth, and
Slayer.
[148] Death metal developed out of thrash, particularly influenced by the bands Venom and Slayer.
.^ Vocal tones are very similar, there is no such thing as guitar tone anymore, it’s been replaced by over-processed effects or screaming distortion.- Saving rock 'n' roll – The Marquee Blog - CNN.com Blogs 14 January 2010 20:020 UTC marquee.blogs.cnn.com [Source type: General]
[153] Black metal, again influenced by Venom and pioneered by Denmark's
Mercyful Fate, Switzerland's
Hellhammer and
Celtic Frost, and Sweden's
Bathory, had many similarities in sound to death metal, but was often intentionally
lo-fi in production and placed greater emphasis on
satanic and
pagan themes.
[154][155] Bathory were particularly important in inspiring the further sub-genres of
Viking metal and
folk metal.
[156] Power metal emerged in Europe in the late 1980s as a reaction to the harshness of death and black metal and was established by Germany's
Helloween, who combined a melodic approach with thrash's speed and energy.

[250] .^ This web page attempts to explore the roots of rock in such a way as to illuminate the natural progression of musical styles.

melodic death metal, was sufficiently popular for

The End of Heartache and
Shadows Fall's
The War Within debuted at #21 and #20, respectively, on the
Billboard album chart.

Trivium, who have released both metalcore and straight-ahead thrash albums, and
Mastodon, who played in a progressive/
sludge style, inspired claims of a metal revival in the United States, dubbed by some critics the "New Wave of American Heavy Metal".
