the creation of rock
classic rock was created in the as a radio format
one of the most important changes in the 1980s was the transfer of technologies from analog to
from cassette tapes and vinyl records to
starts to happen in
Sony and Phillips combined forces to develop and standardize CD technology
CDs were advertised as high quality and digital so doesn't out
CD re-issuing
they tried to talk consumers into buying all the music they had on records, now on CD
this actually worked quite
they added tracks, which helped sales
repackaging songs worked well e.g. box sets with a booklet, a kind of pop musicology
this worked well until around 2000 when came along and enabled people to get music for free
radio consulting
top 40
ways to get the maximum audience in order to get maximum
Lee Abrams
credited with developing the rock format employed by hundreds of radio stations across the country, as well as co-founding XM Satellite Radio.
Fred Jacobs
first classic rock station goes on the air
by the end of the decade almost every station has a classic rock station
all songs are minutes long
the whole idea of having a format is to keep people
rockumentaries

Bob
MTV and VH-1

by the mid 1990s every new release didn't just compete with other new releases, they competed with other from the 60s, 70s, and 80s
new artists had to compete with other of artists for attention, e.g. with
Paul McCartney
Eric Clapton
Peter
Bruce Springsteen
so there was a bit of layering
an interest in history
rock became something that you don't just give up when you get out of your 20s
Ideas and Concepts:
Authentic music via tonight's History of Rock and Roll class, Sting, Shape of My Heart, from the Ten Summoner's Tales, 1993:
"One of the most delicate and beautiful songs ever written by a human being. Chords in the intro and all through the song, at first glance simple yet overwhelming, full of emotions. That's what you get, when you put the influence of the classical music into good use. Simple things are often the best.
I know that the spades
are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs
are weapons of war
I know that diamonds
mean money for this art
But that's not the shape
of my heart."
