Music
This episode will focus on the expansion of musical resources in the late '60s and '70s that resulted in Art Rock and various experimental movements. We'll start with some of those groups who expanded their pop-rock or psychedelic styles with elements of western "classical" music: the Moody Blues; the Who; the Nice; Emerson, Lake & Palmer; and (perhaps more uniquely) Pink Floyd. For a synthesis of pop-rock and jazz, we'll look to Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago. Finally, we'll offer a brief salute to that rugged individualist of Art Rock, Frank Zappa.
