Art Rock

Art Rock is a genre that merges the ambitious experimentation of avant-garde music with the accessibility of rock, aiming to elevate rock to an artistic statement. Emerging in the late 1960s and peaking in the 1970s, it often features complex structures, innovative instrumentation, and eclectic influences, drawing from classical, jazz, and electronic music. Notable for its theatrical flair and conceptual depth, Art Rock is exemplified by bands like Pink Floyd and Roxy Music, who pushed the boundaries of traditional rock conventions.
