Pop Rock Icons takes us into the extraordinary world of London,
England at the time of the greatest countercultural upheaval that the
country has known. A real musical revolution began at the beginning of
the 1960s, led by the Beatles, further ignited by the Rolling Stones and
many others. The incredible rise of rock music continued until the end
of the 1970s, when Punk arrived and launched a new wave of DIY
rebellion.
In photographs which capture the spirit of the times, [re]discover the
optimism of the Beatles; the Stones' dark rhythm'n'blues; the energy of
The Who; the innovation of prog rock with Pink Floyd and Genesis, as
well as the explosive heavy metal of Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. The
70s gave us the glam rock of T Rex and the gritty pub rock of Dr
Feelgood, without forgetting the rock giants: Led Zeppelin, Queen, Eric
Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and the unclassifiable David Bowie.
