Origins of Rock n' RollThe whole world knows what the term " Rock n' Roll" means. But,where did it come from? What did early inspirations of this genre ofmusic sound like, and where were they initially developed? Startingwith the birth of jazz, blues, Tin Pan Alley, and ragtime, focusing onthe social and political implications of people living in The UnitedStates from the early 1900s - 1960. Special emphasis will be placedon the following artists: Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Johnny Cash,Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and LittleRichard.

British Invasion During the early 1960s, the optimistic sprit of the American peoplesuffered a devastating blow with the assassination of PresidentJohn F. Kennedy. The raw backbeat of rockabilly and blues-basedsongs of the 50s were a thing of the past. And, the interest in lovesongs, teen idols, and girl groups that had dominated the charts foralmost a decade was fading. Even Elvis was trading his bad boy rockn' roll image for movie star status. The music scene was stagnant.As a result, the U.S. looked to Britain, and was captivated by a newsound being developed across the pond. Special emphasis will beplaced on the following artists: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones,The Hollies, The Kinks, The Who, The Yardbirds, Cream,Fleetwood Mac, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix.

Punk and New WaveIn the 1970s, punk rock developed out of the raw, energetic garage band sounds of the mid 1960s andthe Beat writers and poets of the 1950s - specifically Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and others.Impacting both The United States and Britain, punk was loud, musically undisciplined, and promoteda 'do it yourself' attitude that appealed to many youths. This genre of music served as an outlet toexpress the anger for a self righteous society who promoted freedom, but still excluded many who didnot fit the economically stable, white Anglo-Saxon Protestant mold.Still, while punk certainly had the energy to appeal to a largeaudience, violent lyrics and stage antics also had the ability to repelthe mass population of mainstream music audiences. Therefore, thegroups that adhered to more acceptable and popular rock stylesbecame known as new wave. Special emphasis will be placed on thefollowing artists: Iggy Pop, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, TheRamones, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, Black Flag, the Plasmatics,Blondie, The Go-Go's, the B-52's, Devo, and the Pretenders.

Riot GrrrlWhy don't more women set out to be electric guitarists? Are they not ascapable of mastering an instrument as a man? Do they play with lesspassion, less ferocity, less discipline, or creativity? While success hasbeen found in the genres of pop and folk music, usually through singingor playing acoustic guitar and/or keyboards, women have always lived inthe shadow of their male counterparts when it comes to rock n' roll.Dissatisfied with their current place in musical history, the Riot Grrrl

genre was an underground punk movement which kicked off the third wave of feminism in The UnitedStates during the early to mid 1990s. Building on the foundation from the Women's LiberationMovement during the 60s and 70s, Riot Grrrl bands often emphasized rape, domestic abuse, sexuality, and femaleempowerment. Furthermore, this movement also impacted variousaspects of art and politics by promoting the punk, 'do it yourself'attitude. Finally, because of the influence of past female musiciansand the impact of riot grrrl bands, many more women have decidedto 'earn their chops' on the electric guitar, as well as form rock n' rollbands. Special emphasis will be placed on the following artists: Fanny,Suzi Quatro, The Runaways, Heart, The Go-Go's, Huggy Bear, BikiniKill, Babes in Toyland, L7, Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde, X-ray Spex,The Slits, Siouxsie Sioux, Joan Jett, Hole, The Dollyrots, Girl in aComa, and Halestorm.
