Art rock

Art rock is a form of art music and experimental rock that artsy or avant-garde views the purpose of the music forms. One of the more important characteristics of art rock is releasing the standard 4/4 (4/4 time), or so called ' 12-bar blues ' (a standard composition of a recurring chord pattern over twelve sizes) in order to give more space other styles. Thus, the band Genesis in the beginning especially made use of folk-influences. Other bands are mostly known for the use of alternative sizes (9/8, 12/9) and mathematical approach of structures. Known art rock bands are Sonic Youth, Blonde Redhead, Liars, Half Japanese.

In the seventies of the 20th century the term was also used for a kind of progressive rock, and is therefore sometimes confusing. In the latter case are household names Alan Parsons Project, Pink Floyd, 10cc, Supertramp, and Genesis.
