Art rock typically features intricate arrangements, often incorporating orchestral instrumentation and complex song structures, creating an ambitious and often cerebral atmosphere that transcends conventional rock energy. Emerging in the late 1960s, it drew heavily from classical music, experimental rock, psychedelic sounds, and avant-garde influences, aiming to push the boundaries of traditional rock and roll with a conceptual approach. Iconic artists include Pink Floyd, Roxy Music, and David Bowie. Its experimental nature and classical leanings heavily influenced the development of progressive rock.
