How was born pop

The Americans invented rock, but the British appropriated the term encompassed dozens of styles and responding to a goal: to create the perfect song that infected the listener and endure over the years.

The Beatles were the first and largest representatives of pop music: rock & roll took the rhythm and blues and other derivatives of black music and compressed in an explosive music and hum, done for young people to identify with her . His message takes over the world to unsuspected limits.

Before 1962, England had groups and soloists such as Shadows, Tornadoes, Cliff Richard and Billy Fury, in the shadow of Americans as Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly or Ray Charles.

With the Beatles, the British aventajaron his first on the other side of the pond, and maintained their status in the sixties.

Merseybeat born in Liverpool, after reaching the swinging London, the Stones, psychedelia, glam and punk, all phenomena patented by the perfidious Albion.

In the eighties, pop was easy and soft because of synthesizers, productions verbose and the preponderance of the image on the artistic content. From Bowie spent a Culture Club, The Jam to Duran Duran. Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna, subjects Reagan, became the pop icons of the decade.

In'89, Manchester becomes fashionable, but the matter does not transcend borders. To make matters worse, the real alternative, rock noisy and dirty, comes from the United States. Then appear first Pixies, Sonic Youth, and others.

As the pride of the British pop claiming his inheritance, the English music press plays an important role, capable of unknown bands that are besieged by record executives. The grouping "Suede", was the first of these flashes of something that began so-called new wave, and then Brit pop.
