Rock Post

Welcome back fellow follower, the blog post that I am going to write about today is about a subgenre of rock music. This subgenre is call psychedelic rock. The perfect example would have to the beach boys. They created many songs in which replicated the feelings of the high of using drugs. In many of their songs used rock elements which were the reason why they are considered to be in the genre of rock music. Often, they used electric guitars and they had small ensembles. This group of guys also had an emphasis on singing. One great example would be of their song “Wouldn’t it be Nice”. Although this song isn’t specifically psychedelic rock it also fits into another genre of rock and that subgenre of rock would be soft rock. In, this song you could hear electric guitars being played as well as seeing that they were really creative in using the technology of the time by creative an album. One psychedelic rock song the screams to me when psychedelic rock comes to mind would have to be that song “Somebody to Love” by Jefferson Airplane. Both of these songs employ certain techniques in the lyrics to get a certain emotional response from the audience and that is one of the many elements of rock.
