Classic Drive at 5

Posted on July 26, 2010 at 12:20 pm by admin in On Air, Summer Cruiser

Put XFM in the driver’s seat for your ride home. Listen for the Eastern Auto Classic Drive at 5 weekdays from 5-6pm.

Featuring a large play list including music from the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s and early 90′s. Recreating the album feel for many listeners who consider this the best music ever made.

1950s was the start of rock and roll, formed out of rhythm and blues, folk music, jazz and classical music. The sound of rock still to this day often revolves around the electric guitar, a back beat laid down by a bass guitar, drums, and maybe piano or synthesizers.

In the late 1960s, rock music developed different subgenres like folk rock, blues-rock and jazz-rock fusion.

In the 1970s, rock incorporated influences from soul, funk, and Latin music. Subgenres developed, such as soft rock, glam rock, hard rock and punk rock.

Rock subgenres that emerged in the 1980s included new wave, hardcore punk and alternative rock.

In the 1990s, rock subgenres included grunge, Britpop, indie rock, and nu metal.

More recently the term ROCK has been used as a blanket term including forms such as pop music, reggae music, soul music, and sometimes even hip hop, with which it has often been contrasted through much of its history.
