A Caffè ☕️Lattè 2-part Spotlight:

THE 100 ESSENTIAL

HARD ROCK

 SONGS

Spawned by a fusion of blues, rock and psychedelia, hard rock emerged in the late 1960s before entrenching itself into the pop music landscape in the ensuing decades. Its music was loud, aggressive and injected with machismo. At times, this genre blurs into heavy metal. Among the seminal acts were Cream, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, AC/DC, Deep Purple and- later- Guns N’ Roses.
