These middle of the road (or "MOR") stations also frequently included older, pre-rock-era adult standards and big band titles to further appeal to adult listeners who had grown up with those songs. | During what decade did rock and roll music first rise to popularity? | During what decade did rock and roll music first rise to popularity? | [

gem-squad_v2-train-21299 | 56e6c52c6fe0821900b8eb66 | Adult_contemporary_music | Hard rock had been established as a mainstream genre by 1965. From the end of the 1960s, it became common to divide mainstream rock music into soft and hard rock, with both emerging as major radio formats in the US. Soft rock was often derived from folk rock, using acoustic instruments and putting more emphasis on melody and harmonies. Major artists included Barbra Streisand, Carole King, Cat Stevens, James Taylor and Bread. | As of what year was hard rock a mainstream type of music? | As of what year was hard rock a mainstream type of music? | [
