englischIn the 1950s, rock and roll music developed into a form of youthful rebellion against parental notions of morality and discipline, with performers such as Chuck Berry, Jerry-Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley embodying young people’s desire to be liberated from such conservative values and traditions. In the 60s, rock music turned into the most important medium for young people to protest against the entire political, economic and social system, with Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and other such rock stars inspiring a whole generation with their songs. Undertaking a journey through music history, this second edition of the book illustrates the development of rock music in the 1950s and 60s, examining its impact and its most important representatives from both a musical and a social perspective.
