Rock N' Roll: the First 25 Years

Investigate the evolution of rock music from 1955 to 1980, starting from its roots in rhythm & blues and country and moving through the explosion of soul music, the British Invasion, folk-rock, and psychedelic in the 1960s, as well as the progressive rock, hard rock, funk, punk, and new wave of the 1970s. Through audio recordings and video clips, the rapid development of rock's key styles throughout its first quarter century will be brought to life and explored in depth. The course will also detail how rock's phenomenal growth was sparked by economic and cultural changes in American and British society, and how rock in turn changed society forever.
