Also known as light rock or adult-oriented rock, soft rock was born in the late 1960’s as a derivative form of pop rock. Characterized by simple, memorable and melodic songs created as a result of extravagant production processes, soft rock derives its inspiration from adult contemporary and Brill Building genres. Popularized by hit songs like Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and Skyline Pigeon by Elton John, soft rock offers easy-to-listen contemporary music.
