60s ROCK

What is 60s rock?
In the early 1960s, one of the most popular forms of rock and roll was Surf Rock, which was characterized by being nearly entirely instrumental and by heavy use of reverb on the guitars.
The 1960s gave the rock world The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, the British invasion, surf music, folk rock, funk, soul, psychedelic music and ended with Woodstock.

How rock changed in the 60s?
At the beginning of the 1960s, pop and rock 'n roll trends from the 1950s continued before developing into a more electric style. By the end of the decade, a folk-influenced style of rock music dominated the scene, featuring singer-songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and Joni Mitchell.

What was the best rock era?
Music historians often enshrine the 1960s as the best decade for popular music, because it's when rock became a countercultural movement led by giants like Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

1991 is an unforgettable year for music lovers, I selected some of the best rock albums that changed things and made the year revolutionary.

1-Mariah Carey had 3 songs on the global charts when suddenly… BAM! Nirvana came with  Nevermind  and changed the music industry! Now is the new era of rock! 🤘🏼

2 - More Than Words by Extreme was very popular in 1991, but we needed more than that! R.E.M released  Out of Time with Losing My Religion  as the first single, just in time to top the album sales charts for 183 weeks! 🤘🏼

3 - Color Me Badd reached number 2 on the world charts with I Wanna Sex You Up, but the world needed a little more magic. Maybe a little more blood too. Red Hot Chilli Peppers also reached No. 2 on the charts during the same year with  Blood Sugar Sex Magik. 🤘🏼

4 – Bryan Adams was everywhere singing the power ballad Everything I Do I Do It For You. But Metallica revolutionised the market with their self-titled Metallica album (better known as the “black album”) and songs like  Nothing Else Matters or Enter Sandman

Now, all that's left is to add some classic bands and their respective albums to this list: Pearl Jam with Ten, Soundgarden and Superunknown, Alice in Chains with Dirt and Stone Temple Pilots with their album Core.

These bands are the pioneers of grunge and brought the movement to the rest of the world. 

That being said… my favourite rock band from the 90’s was Guns N’ Roses (also my first concert) and many years later, I still enjoy with Pearl Jam :)
