HISTORY OF ROCK

This map is a ‘summa’ of the characters that made the history of Rock. This is a chronological map where the timeline is a spiral, like a vinyl. From the Thirties to the beginning of the new millennium, this map presents, in an alphabetical order, the main characters of the history of Rock in the year of their first published recording. The best worldwide collection of the masters of Rock from the Thirties to 2004 (fifty years of Rock). More than 2000 artists and international groups.
AVAILABLE IN ITALIAN, ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH, GERMAN AND ON DEMAND.

«Rock as a language, cultured and proletarian, hurled beyond states and ghettos; rock as a cry for independence or demoralizing business. Hated and loved, beatified as a saint and despised as a devil, this bastard child, born of a “sinful marriage” between blacks and whites (blues and R&B on the one hand, country and western on the other) quickly took over the world, singing of rebellion and hope, despair and utopia, unrest and solidarity, the ecstasy of the senses and the cold night of death. »

Giampaolo Rizzetto | drawn from the record label text

The map is based on a historical and chronological approach: it is the year of the first published LP of each protagonist the key to reading the map. This process was not easy, as the the history of Rock covers a wide period of time. The map refers mostly to the publishing of the first single until 1960. Most of the artists of the 1950s have never published a record or it has been done late in their carrier. It has been referred to 78 RPM for the forerunners of ‘30s and ‘40s. The discographic research was complicated. The recording dates are not often the same of the publishing and they are confused by the artists themselves. For this reasons, it has been referred to indirect information and not always verifiable. This does not have any impact on the value of the research and on the clear overview of the history of Rock.
