Hard Rock established itself in the 1970's when bands like Led Zeppelin for example got away from the more acid rock bands like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Iron Butterfly who were more psychedelic and less blues. It was Led Zeppelin who set the prototypical hard rock sound that would be imitated from the 1970's to the present. Hard Rock is also much more commerical friendly than Heavy Metal.
Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Queen, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Blue Oyster Cult, Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, Heart, Deep Purple, Mountain, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots.

Get the mothers against hard rock mug.A shadowy group of mothers opposed to "hard rock" music. So far they have targeted popular post-hardcore/screamo/emo/whatever you want to define them as bands My Chemical Romance and the Used. This is considered by many an attack on the 1st Amendment right to free speech and a petition started on the internet as a protest to this has gained over 4,000 signatures so far. This group (MAHR) appears to have no known website (at least a Yahoo search turned up nothing) and little appears to be known about it at this time except that they are trying to ban bands that many people love.

Get the mothers against hard rock mug.A stupid group of idiotic weirdos who randomly decided they didn't like My Chemical Romance and The Used and decided to try to ban them, while they don't go after the REALLY bad shit like that dumbass song 'Sexy Back' which is like way more...retarded than anything by MCR and/or The Used. They're trying to take away the freedom of speech, even though the U.S. government already did, thanks to Bush. Why they don't target the really bad crap, the world may never know.
Idiotic Weirdo1: Hey I'm bored let's go try to ban rock bands!
Idiotic Weirdo2: Good idea let's call ourselves Mothers Against Hard Rock!!!
