 For my project, I have chosen to focus on the Roll & Roll Hall of Fame's "Legends of Rock" exhibit.

Legends of Rock

"Known as a staple of the Rock Hall for over 20 years, Legends of Rock, an exhibit featuring handwritten drafts of hit singles, performance outfits, and instruments from some of history’s greatest concerts, now takes over three floors of the Museum. Ranging from rhythm & blues, jazz, and folk rock to heavy metal and hip-hop, this exhibition represents a myriad of musical genres and highlights some of the world’s most iconic acts both past and present.

Get up close and personal with some of your favorite Inductees and the stories behind the music they created.

 Rock and roll is as much about the spectacle, the visual, as it as the sonic—we remember Bowie’s character Ziggy Stardust as much as we do the lyrics to “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide,” Michael Jackson’s moonwalk as much as the bassline of “Billie Jean.”

Conceived in tandem with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Legends of Rock began as Rock Style, an exhibit on rock and roll’s trendsetting role in the fashion industry. The exhibit premiered at the Met on December 9, 1999 before moving to the Rock Hall and London’s Barbican Centre. There’s a reason it was chosen to close out the millennium—this exhibit captures the most iconic moments in rock history.

When rock & roll burst onto the scene in the mid-1950s, its impact was immediate and explosive. More than a musical sensation, rock & roll was a social and generational phenomenon that became one ofthe most important artistic movements of the twentieth century. Its seismic influence reverberates across society, impacting how we think about fashion, youth culture, dance, race, sexuality and free speech. It has become a way of life; one that thrives today. The diverse representation of artists in this exhibition are exemplary of rock’s enduring power to connect us all.  

Ranging from rhythm & blues, jazz, and folk rock to heavy metal and hip-hop, this exhibition represents a myriad of musical genres and highlights some of the world’s most iconic acts both past and present.  

Many of the artifacts have since found a permanent residence at the Rock Hall in Legends of Rock, which expands on the original concept to include artifacts from artists’ lives, performances and songwriting processes: handwritten drafts of hit singles, instruments used in concert and strangely enough, more than one rocker’s personalized pinball machine."
