3. What will our theme park be based on? 70s rock

4. What will be our 10 songs?

5. What makes our genre different to others?

//Instruments: During the 1970's, the genre Rock was commonly made and played using the following instruments: Electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and keyboards. The synthesizer was also more widely and commonly used during this period. During the 1970's, the disco became a very popular recreational activity; this led to alot of new dancing songs being made using a synthesizer.

1970's musicians were very distinct by their persona's. Kiss is great example of this, using wild, unorthodoxic styled costumes to create an image of the band. This helped the popularity of the band and probably contributed to how people listened to their music and what they thought of it. Another band who used this new concept were the Sex pistols. This short lived band played punk-rock and acted like punks too.

Branches of Rock: During the 1970's, the genre rock seemed to quickly grow branches of other types of rock. These included punk, pop-rock, folk, psychedelic, glam and progressive.//

 * Comments from your teacher:

This is a really good wiki page everyone. It has really shown that you can use this technology to make group work more effective. The answers you found to your questions (shown here and in your presentation) showed you have a clear understanding of how 70s rock is unique and different from other genres. Well done! I think the next step in understanding music history is to look at the connections between fashion, food, historical events and how it effected the music of the era. This is a big area, I'm really glad you got a 'taste' of it! Well Done!**
