The 1950s saw the beginning of rock music. The 60s perfected the rock pop song and, later in the decade, musicians started to push the envelope sonically. But with the 70s, something new started to happen. Bands striving for new sounds, new frontiers, in some cases, perfection. New genres were launched, and labels became the new vogue for musical artists; glam rock, prog rock, art rock, punk rock, hard rock… record companies loved putting bands into little boxes so that they could market them. But one man refused to be marginalized. His bands, Be Bop Deluxe and Red Noise, were notoriously hard to put into a box. The music was complicated, yet at the same time catchy. He crossed multiple genres at the same time, and when record companies tried to force him into a corner, he walked away from it all. The extremely interesting and fiercely independent Bill Nelson is our subject, next, on Forgotten Fretmasters.
