The British rock band Pink Floyd formed in 1965 and was at the forefront of 1960s psychedelia. They popularized the concept album for mass rock audiences in the 1970s. They experimented with their sound and incorporated sound effects, spacy guitar and keyboards, and extended improvisation in such songs as “Interstellar Overdrive.”

What is rock music?
Rock music is a form of popular music that emerged in the 1950s and can be defined as “a form of music with a strong beat”—it is difficult to be much more precise. It is also called rock and roll. Rock originated in the United States in the 1950s and then spread to other English-speaking countries and across Europe in the ’60s; by the ’90s its impact was evident globally.
