Audio: Rock

Rock is a broad genre of popular music that emerged from rock and roll in the 1960s. Based on electric guitar, bass, and drums, with powerful energy and lyrical depth.

Rock is a whole universe of styles. Classic rock of the 1970s (Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple); progressive rock (Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis — with complex forms); hard rock and metal (Black Sabbath, AC/DC); 1990s alternative rock (Nirvana, Radiohead, R.E.M.); indie rock (Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes).

Rock is not only music but a worldview: protest against the norm, the search for authenticity, the cult of live performance. The Ukrainian rock scene is powerful: Vopli Vidopliasova (the first legendary band, since 1986), Okean Elzy, Skryabin, Krykhitka, Plach Yeremiyi, modern 1914 (blackened death metal) and Stoned Jesus (stoner rock). Rock remains the voice of a free Ukraine.
