Hobbit Rock is term used to refer to late '60s and early-to-mid '70s prog rock, or most any music group that includes fantasy, fairy tale, medieval and related lyrics, imagery or sounds. Many songs and/or albums by Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Yes, King Crimson, Rush, Gentle Giant and others. The music is characterized by rapid tempo changes, rushed flourishes, folky breaks, long solos, exuberant stage sets and costumery, and instruments such as lutes, flutes, glockenspiels, pipes and crumhorns; i.e. a perfect expression of goofy 1970s rock excesses. While technically proficient and rather endearing as a time capsule, most of the bands associated with Hobbit Rock went downhill by the 1980s and suffered from weak songwriting and regrettable production values shared by other contemporary acts, such as stereotypical '80s-era guitar and drum effects. Hobbit Rock was especially popular in Italy, and enjoyed enduring popularity with nerds and libertarians.

Get the flat-rockingmug. A supposed 'gangsta' from Detroit, who actually grew up in the upper class rankings of a rich family, an hour outside of the city. A man who suffers from small penis syndrome, but attempts to mislead the world by saying otherwise in his lyrics. He keeps his coke in his right front pocket and a wad of $1 bills, that are wrapped in a single $100 bill in the other. His fan base doesn't have any teeth, and are typically morbidly obese. He's coined the phrase "I'm On A Motherfucking Boat!" and hopefully the next time that shipload of white trash sets sail, it sinks. All it will take is one extra ticket to be sold to exceed the boats maximum weight limit and VOILA the world will be a much better place. If he takes Ted Nugent with him...Detroit will RISE AGAIN TO GREATNESS!
"Did you hear that 42 year old man refer to himself as 'Kid Rock?" "Yes, his parents are brother and sister, he can't help it. He's a victim of inbreeding."
