Some questions from the same exam
- In the early 1970s, bands like Led Zeppelin and Grand Funk Railroad initiated a form of rock devised specifically for large concert venues. By mid-decade, stadium or arena rock was in full swing, and bands with big sounds like Boston and Queen dominated the music scene until the 1980s.
- Punk rock was largely a reaction against stadium filling bands like Pink Floyd and other so-called pretentious rock acts. Punk songs were short and raw, and would never dream of containing long guitar solos or complex themed albums like their arena rock enemies.
- Punk rock was, by its very nature, destined to self-destruct. Many punk bands like Blondie began to morph into a friendlier brand of music called New Wave. This shift coincided with a new television channel called MTV that suited their aristic style perfectly.
- Heavy metal had its origins with Black Sabbath back in 1970, but it was this bands 1980 heavy metal masterpiece, British Steel, that sent metal on its path to world domination. By the latter half of the 1980s, bands like Ratt, Def Leppard, and Motley Crue would emerge that were perfectly suited for the excesses that characterized the 80s.
- By the 1990s, heavy metal was almost unrecognizable from its ancestors. There simply wasnt much metal left in bands like Poison, Warrant, White Lion and Winger. So, the time was absolutely right for a new brand of music called grunge to cut through the artificial fluff in much the same way as The Beatles did in 1963 (see questions 2 and 3). Instead of Liverpool, however, this time the bands would predominantly eminate from which city?
- The 2000s so far (2008) find rock music in a definite downward slope. Hip Hop and RB dominate the charts, and rock music seems to be unable to produce any bands that can create much of an impact. Most rock bands are either a hybrid (like rap-metal or pop-punk) or a revival of something old (like garage rock).
