The Fifties:
It all began with people like Chuck Berry,
Bill Haley, Elvis Presley and their contemporaries …
our grandfathers of Popular Rock Music. It began with radio
stations, slowly picking up the word and the enthusiasm
from the listeners. Rock radio pioneers like Alan Freed
made waves … airwaves. Music was changing, styles
were re-arranging. Blue jeans, poodle skirts, DAs, cruising
the block in your dad's car, the excitement of Friday night
sock hops … and it all was happening with the radio
on … it was the Music of the 1950s, the music that
changed our lives and was the foundation of today's Popular
Rock. You'll hear it all here on The Rock History Radio
Network.
The Sixties:
The 1960s were a time a revolution for our
society. It was The Beatles, Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones
leading the charge in music. Their was Pop Art, Fashion
Art and a time of ant-war upheaval. All along the trip we
were branded by the music coming from our radios. The music
that changed our lives … and we have it here on Rock
History Radio.com. Stay close … you're just a song
away from a journey back to the 1960s.
The Seventies:
It was bell bottoms, stadium rock shows,
balloon sleeve shirts and a bit of disco along the way …
it was the decade known as The Seventies. And while you
were having fun with click-clacks, drawing smiley faces
on your school notebooks … you heard the music from
radios everywhere. The singer-songwriters, the long-haired
groups on Don Krishner's Rock Concert TV show … there
was Wolfman Jack on syndicated radio and TV. We have those
classic hits that changed our lives … here on The
Rock History Radio Network.
The Eighties:
It was Big Hair, MTV's first major impact,
Dance Clubs, Drum Machines and keyboards playing a big part
in our music. It was the 1980s. And when you flipped the
TV back to MTV after mom and dad had the remote …
it was the music of the 80s that changed our lives. That
music lives on here at The Rock History Radio Network. A
favorite song from the 80s is not far off.
