History of Rock and Roll traces the development of America’s most popular music genre from its origins in blues, jazz, gospel, rhythm and blues, folk, country, and pop music to the present. The course includes a survey of all rock music subgenres from such 1950s styles as rockabilly and doo-wop to 1960s soul music and psychedelic rock; from such 1970s styles as progressive rock and punk to 1980s heavy metal and rap; and from such 1990s styles as grunge and techno to the crossover styles and other recent trends of the 2000s. Emphasis will be placed on the development of analytical listening skills, written analysis, and on understanding the many different subgenres of rock music by studying representative literature, composers, and artists.
