Hard rock (or  heavy  rock)
A loosely defined subgenre of rock music which has its earliest 
roots  in mid- 1960s  garage rock, blues  rock and psychedelic 
rock
Typified by a heavy use of distorted  electric guitars, bass guitar, 
drums, and often accompanied with pianos and keyboards
Developed into a  major  form of popular music in the 1970s and 
reached a commercial  peak  in the mid to  late  1980s
Led Zeppelin , The Who, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van 
Halen, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Guns N’  Roses
Definitions
A form of loud, aggressive  rock music
Has sometimes been labelled cock rock for its  emphasis  on 
overt masculinity and sexuality and because it has historically 
been predominately performed and consumed by men: in the 
case  of its  audience , particularly  white, working- class  
adolescents
In the late 1960s the  term heavy  metal  was used 
interchangeably with hard rock, but gradually began to be used 
to describe music played with even more volume and intensity
Despite differentiation, hard rock and heavy metal have existed 
side by side, with bands frequently standing on the  boundary  
of, or crossing between , the  genres
history
The roots of hard rock as well as heavy metal can be 
traced back to antecedents in the 1950s
In the  early  1950s, electric blues musicians began 
experimenting with hard rock  elements , including 
driving  rhythms, distorted guitar solos, and  power  
chords
Origins (1960s) 1/2
In the mid-1960s, American and in  particular   British  rock bands began 
to modify rock and roll adding harder sounds, heavier guitar riffs, 
bombastic drumming, and louder vocals
Early forms of hard rock can be heard in The Kingsmen's version of 
" Louie , Louie" (1963), which made it a garage rock standard, and the 
songs  of rhythm and blues influenced British Invasion  acts , including 
"You  Really  Got Me" by The Kinks (1964), "My Generation" by The Who 
(1965) and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965) by The  Rolling   Stones
From the late 1960s it  became  common to  divide  mainstream rock 
music that emerged from psychedelia into soft and hard rock
Hard rock was most often derived from blues-rock and was played 
louder and with more intensity.
Origins (1960s) 2/2
Blues-rock acts that pioneered the  sound included Cream , The 
Jimi  Hendrix Experience , and The  Jeff  Beck Group
Cream, in songs like "I  Feel  Free" (1966) combined blues-rock 
with pop and psychedelia, particularly in the riffs and guitar 
solos of  Eric Clapton
Jimi Hendrix produced a form of blues-influenced psychedelic 
rock, which combined elements of jazz, blues and rock and roll
Even The  Beatles  attempted to produce songs in the new hard 
rock style, trying to create a greater level of noise  than The 
Who, from The Beatles (1968) ( known as the "White Album") 
onwards, beginning with "Helter Skelter"
Cream

Their blues-rock 
improvisation was a major 
factor in the  development  of 
the  genre .
Expansion (1970s)
In the early 1970s the Rolling Stones developed their hard rock 
sound with  Exile  on Main St. (1972)
Led Zeppelin began to mix elements of world and folk music 
into their hard rock from Led Zeppelin III (1970) and Led 
Zeppelin IV ( 1971 )
Deep Purple continued to define hard rock, particularly with 
their album  Machine  Head (1972), which included the tracks 
"Highway  Star " and " Smoke  on the Water".
In the United States, macabre-rock  pioneer  Alice 
Cooper  achieved mainstream  success  with the top ten 
album School's Out(1972)

Glam metal era (1980s) 1/2
The opening years of the 1980s saw a number of changes in personnel and 
direction of established hard rock acts, including the deaths of Bon  Scott , the  lead  
singer  of AC/DC, and John Bonham, drummer with Led Zeppelin
Zeppelin broke up almost immediately, but AC/DC recorded the album Back in 
Black  (1980) with their new lead singer, Brian Johnson
Black Sabbath had  split  with  original  singer Ozzy Osbourne in 1979
Some bands, such as  Queen , moved  away  from their hard rock roots and more 
towards pop rock, while  others , including  Rush  with  Moving  Pictures (1981), began 
to  return  to a hard rock sound
Glam metal era (1980s) 2/2
Kiss moved away from their hard rock roots toward pop metal: 
firstly removing their makeup in 1983 for their Lick It 
Up album, and then adopting the  visual  and sound of glam 
metal for their 1984  release , Animalize, both of which marked a 
return to commercial success
Pat Benatar was one of the  first women to achieve commercial 
success in hard rock, with three successive Top 5 albums 
between 1980 and 1982
Often categorised with the New  Wave  of British Heavy Metal, in 
1981 Def Leppard released their second album High 'n' Dry, 
mixing glam-rock with heavy metal, and helping to define the 
sound of hard rock for the decade

Grunge and  Britpop  ( 1990s )
Hard rock entered the 1990s as one of the  dominant  forms of 
commercial music
Alternative  forms of hard rock achieved mainstream success in 
the form of grunge in the US and Britpop in the UK; this was 
particularly evident after the success 
of  Nirvana 's Nevermind (1991), which combined elements 
of hardcore  punk  and heavy metal into a "dirty" sound that 
made use of heavy guitar distortion, fuzz and feedback, along 
with darker lyrical themes than their " hair  band" predecessors
In Britain,  Oasis  were  unusual  among the Britpop bands of the 
mid-1990s in incorporating a hard rock sound
Nirvana

Survivals and revivals (2000-
present )
A few hard rock bands from the 1970s and 1980s managed to 
sustain highly successful recording careers
Bon Jovi were  still  able to achieve a commercial hit with "It's My 
Life" from their  double  platinum-certified album Crush (2000)
Hard rock supergroups, such as Audioslave and  Velvet Revolver, 
emerged and experienced some success;  however , these  bands 
were short-lived, ending in 2007 and 2008, respectively
Although Foo Fighters continued to be one of the most 
successful rock acts, with albums like In Your  Honor  (2005) 
reaching number two in the US and UK, many of the first wave 
of post-grunge bands began to  fade  in popularity
