Dutch Rock

Dutch Rock is a genre of rock music that originated in the Netherlands in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its heavy use of electric guitars, synthesizers, and drum machines, as well as its incorporation of elements from other genres such as funk, soul, and jazz. Dutch Rock bands often have a more experimental and progressive sound than their British and American counterparts, and often feature complex song structures and extended instrumental passages. Notable Dutch Rock bands include Golden Earring, Focus, and Shocking Blue.
