    ROCK MUSIC IN UNITED KINGDOM



    United Kingdom as a country of origin of rock and its subgenres punk and metal is a home of
    many great musicians. We all have heard of The Beatles, probably the most famous band in the world,
    and since I'm a big fan of them and also many other bands and artists I decided to tell you more about
    the most important British rock music and its subgenres.
    It all started in the eartly 1960s when The Beatles has grown popullarity in the United
    Kingdom and also in the United States. After them bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Who
    followed their example and they all become extremely successful throughout the world. That
    phenomen is also known as British Invasion. That also influenced fashion, haircuts and manners so
    UK became cultural and fashion centre of the world. Right after that genre of psychedelic rock become
    popular. The main characteristic of psychedelic artists is using of hallucinogenic drugs. Since many
    bands who played psychedelic rock also play progressive rock that two terms become synonyms. The
    most important psychedelic bands are Pink Floyd, The Cream and The Yardbirds. Second important
    British-made subgenre is Heavy metal. Most important characteristics of heavy metal are loudness,
    strong rhythm and powerful guitar riffs. The three pioneering heavy metal bands, Led Zeppelin, Black
    Sabbath, and Deep Purple, were made in the early 1970s and they all were British. After them, in early
    1980s bands such as Iron Maiden and Def Leppard lead the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
    Although it's a fact that American band The Ramones are the first punk rock band, British scene was
    most powerful and produced worldwide popular bands such as The Clash and Sex Pistols. Punk is
    marked as a genre of anarchy because most lyrics of punk songs share anarchistic ideas. There were
    also many other genres, but this essay is too short to describe them all.
    I really can say that I'm the big fan of rock music made in the UK, and some of the mentioned
    bands will always be popular. But they really deserve that.
