driventotheedge Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I get bored sometimes, so a new thread. For this, I'm asking who you think was the first of the genre. That could mean different things to different people. Maybe they didn't start the genre, but they made hints at it in the past. Or maybe the didn't start the genre, but popularized it. It is up to you to decide. Here are examples of genres you can talk about (or add your own) Acid RockComedy RockMetalHard RockProgressive RockPsychedelic RockAlternative RockPunkGlam RockGrungeetc. What in the world is Comedy Rock? Steve Martin singing King Tut? Seriously, I just have never heard of this . . .The Streak, maybe. Actually, anyone remember Jorgie Jorgensen of "I Just Go Nuts At Christmas" fame? That was the 50s. :laughing guy: :laughing guy: "Don't look, Ethel ! ""You shameless hussy!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Prog rock = King CrimsonRock = Led ZeppelinPop = The BeatlesHeavy Metal = Black SabbathI'd fight you on this one. The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones all predated Zeppelin with hard a hard rock sound I'd go as far back as the fifties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidcrystalcompass Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Prog rock = King CrimsonRock = Led ZeppelinPop = The BeatlesHeavy Metal = Black SabbathI'd fight you on this one. The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones all predated Zeppelin with hard a hard rock sound I'd go as far back as the fifties.Maybe on one or two but not most types of music that are mentioned. The Beatles kicked the door wide open for a lot of these genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
