Hard Rock

Hard Rock is a subgenre of rock music that began in the 1960s and 1970s. It is characterized by aggressive, distorted guitar riffs, often combined with anthemic choruses and a driving rhythm section. Hard Rock bands often feature an electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, and vocals, as well as a wide range of other instruments such as keyboards and synthesizers. The genre is also known for its loud, energetic sound, which is often characterized by heavy metal-style guitar riffs and intense vocals. Hard Rock was originally influenced by early rock and roll, and has since been developed by a variety of artists. Notable Hard Rock bands include Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Van Halen, and Guns N' Roses.
