Soft Rock Music

Soft Rock Music Description

Simply put, it features the instruments and elements of Pop Rock, but it's much softer/lighter in nature. May also be referred to as "light rock" or "easy rock". The style originated in the early 1970s, partly as a reaction to the hard rock which had become popular towards the end of the 1960s. Songs were generally commercial and innocuous, with less rock & roll than had been evident in the Pop Rock of the 1960s Beat era.

Soft Rock ontstond in de vroege jaren '70, gedeeltelijk als reactie op de extreme geluiden van eind jaren '60. Softrock was commercieel en onschadelijk, nam het geluid van singer- songwriter en pop-rock maar maakte alle randen glad.
