"Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll. I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll."
While it's impossible to define the ever-changing landscape of rock and pop, we can safely say what we do know it is - fashion, attitude, language, lifestyle and above all else - song. Rooted in 40s and 50s rhythm and blues and country, with cues from folk, jazz and classical music - rock and pop went electric, leaving both a massive wake and an open door. Today it's omnipotent, taking on anything and everything.
Our dynamic collection of artists such as The Doors, Black Sabbath, The Monkees, Stone Temple Pilots, Chicago, The Ramones, continue to break stylistic boundaries and sonic barriers.
