The result is an extraordinary array of significant pictures that not only symbolize an era in general terms, they are also evidence of specific moments that characterized rock.   Divided by decades, these marvelous photographs depict the icons who were the stars of those years and made them famous, unique moments in the history of rock as we know it today. Ray-Ban and rock 'n' roll always evolved in parallel.   Appearing for the first time in the mid-1930s, Ray-Ban glasses were used initially in military and civil aviation. During the Hollywood boom of the 1950s, fashion-conscious stars like Jack Nicholson and Robert Redford wore their Ray-Bans with pride.   From the 1960s, for the biggest names in music of all kinds and styles, the wide variety of Ray-Ban models were an absolutely must-have accessory. The classic rock 'n' roll photographers immortalized the greatest stars of the time wearing Ray-Bans.
