Israeli Rock

= 1960s =
Initial attitudes towards Israeli rock music were extremely negative. Israeli musicians of the time believed that this trend would soon pass. The first Israeli rock bands began performing in nightclubs and discos in the mid-1960s, first in Ramla and later on Tel Aviv's Hamasjah Street. These bands mostly played cover versions of popular rock songs such as The Beatles and The Shadows. Rock culture in a social and political sense was nowhere to be found. Bands that stood out in the first wave of Israeli rock were The Lions, The Churchills, The Fat And The Shins, The Styles, The Electric Stage, The 7th Radiance, The Gold Stars, The Thing Thing, The Blue Stars, The Spiders. In the post-Six Day War euphoria, the Israeli Defense Forces band rose to prominence, churning out songs about victory, bereavement and loss.

The band's diverse style derived from British pop and American soul music, and featured a complex rich treatment of wind instruments similar to Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago. During the 1960s and 1970s, successful Israeli musicians became interested in rock music, and many of them recorded rock-style songs by themselves or with bands. The artist who took the most significant step towards rock's adoption as a dominant force in Israeli music was popular singer Arik Einstein, backed by Churchills in 1969. Einstein's albums of the time, Pozi (1969), slug (1970), Plastelina (1970), and Badshe etzel Avigdor (1971) featured rock melodies and Hebrew texts. It is considered to be an epoch-making one in terms of combination. They displayed a fresh musical perception, creating more personal mainstream tunes rather than the military band tunes that dominated the previous decade.
