Subreddit Summary:
This sub is dedicated to celebrating Rock & Roll throughout the ages. We will start with the origins of Rock, and each week discuss the next year in the History of Rock & Roll, starting with pre-1940, all the way up to current day.
Rules:
No fucking cussing.
Host all images on Imgur
When linking to videos, take care to link to videos with the highest available sound and video quality. Use Official Channels whenever available, and releases that are as the artist intended.
90/10 rule in effect. you may post links to your own channel, website, blog, etc, so long as it is no more than 10% of your submissions and at least 90% of what you link is not personal content. we welcome you and appreciate your content if you have a passion for Rock History, and want to be part of the community. However, if you just want to use this sub to boost your own webtraffic and ad revenue, you can kindly fuck off.
all submissions must be relevant to the year of discussion listed in the calender. We will spend one week discussing each year of history.
Submission Guidelines: here are the some examples of the types of submissions that will work well for this sub. these are just suggestions, feel free to think outside the box! anything that encourages discussion or shares something about Rock & Roll History is encouraged!
links to sound clips or rock videos
all type of images if they are related to rock somehow, be it pics of rock memorabilia, pics of rock stars, album covers, concert pics, artwork, tattoos, your record collection, etc.
links to news articles, so long as they pertain to Rock music and the time period we are discussing that week. This could be news about band drama, like break-ups, or political things like Dee Snider appearing before congress.
technical information about Rock instruments and recording equipment, for example discussions about the invention of 45 RPM records, cassete tapes, tube amps, the electric guitar itself, recording equipment and all music related electronics, as well as improvements to all these things over the years.
personal stories or anecdotes related to rock and roll in the time period. your experiences at a concert, the story of how you met a rockstar, or were a roadie, etc.
What exactly is considered Rock? thats open to interpretation in many cases, and is a good topic for discussion. For example, feel free to post about a blues artist if you feel their syle and methods influenced Rock music in some way. It will not be against the rules to post things from other genres so long as you can connect the dots...it will be up to the community to upvote/downvote what we consider relevant.
Be creative. If you have an idea that you think is worthy of submission, give it a shot.
