Lite Rock for Your Wedding

Lite rock, also known as soft rock is a style of music using the techniques of rock and roll sometimes combined with elements from folk rock and pop to compose a softer sound. Soft rock songs generally focus on subjects like love, everyday life and relationships making use of acoustic guitar, pianos, synthesizers and sometimes saxophones.

Lite rock has its origins in the early 1970s, as a reaction against the increasingly heavy music styles such as punk or heavy metal that dominated rock music at the time, and as a reflection of the changing priorities of the Baby Boom at the beginning of the 70s. You can surf the internet in order to find appropriate lite rock songs to mark your wedding day. You also have here some of the most popular lite rock sounds of all times:
