Soft Rock
Soft rock (also known as light rock or mellow rock) is a form of rock music that originated in the late 1960s in the United States and the United Kingdom which smoothed over the edges of singer-songwriter and pop rock, relying on simple, melodic songs with big, lush productions. Soft rock was prevalent on the radio throughout the 1970s and eventually metamorphosed into a form of the synthesized music of adult contemporary music, adult contemporary in the 1980s. History Mid- to late 1960s Softer sounds in rock music could be heard in mid-1960s songs, such as "A Summer Song" by Chad & Jeremy (1964) and "Here, There and Everywhere" by the Beatles and "I Love My Dog" by Cat Stevens, both from 1966. By 1968, hard rock had been established as a mainstream genre. From the end of the 1960s, it became common to divide mainstream rock music into soft and hard rock, with both emerging as major radio formats in the US. The Bee Gees were considered soft rock in the late 1960s. Early 19 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eye II Eye
''Eye II Eye'' is the fourteenth studio album by the German hard rock band Scorpions, released in 1999. It is a radical departure in that ''Eye II Eye'' is much more pop-oriented than their previous work, which alienated some fans, despite the single "Mysterious" reaching number 26 on the ''Billboard'' Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It is the first studio Scorpions album to feature James Kottak on drums and also the final Scorpions studio album to feature Ralph Rieckermann on bass guitar. For the first (and, thus far, only) time, Scorpions released a song recorded largely in German, namely "Du bist so schmutzig" ("You are so dirty"), with few English lyrics by Kottak. Track listing Personnel ;Scorpions * Klaus Meine – lead vocals * Rudolf Schenker – rhythm guitars, lead guitars, acoustic guitar, electric sitar, backing vocals * Matthias Jabs – lead guitars, rhythm guitars, acoustic guitar, slide guitar, voice box, mandolin *Ralph Rieckermann – bass, backing v ...
