Basic Rock Concepts
In this collection I want to gather songs that describe rock culture in a best way, that define its essence and spirit. By concept I mean an extensive idea, well-known and distinctive for the genre. Each concept/phenomenon is represented by separate subcollection, present in many songs, and often can be found as a reference in related art forms. Participation in subcollections is highly appreciated.
"The road", freedom and spontanity. Everything started with the novel "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, then you have "Easy Rider" and other road movies, not to mention songs.
Rock songs about journeys, freedom and spontanity.
