A large portion of the art movements, fashion, and music was created by artists who were inspired while under the influence. The song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” by The Rolling Stones was seen as the poster child for the counterculture. There were also rumors that “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” stands for LSD.

    Musicology 123 Paper 1 Starr and Waterman stated that cover songs/cover versions in the postwar era were used to “cash in on the potential popularity of a recording by creating their own (sometimes almost indistinguishable) versions of it.” However, the reason that a musician records a cover song has drastically changed since the late 1940s. Nowadays, musicians record a cover song to pay homage to their favorite musicians and to the musicians that have inspired them. This is exactly why Foo Fighters covered a song composed by Pink Floyd called “Have a Cigar” and in this paper will compare Pink Floyd’s version of the song with the Foo Fighters’ version. “Have a Cigar” is a colossally popular Pink Floyd song from one of Pink Floyd’s finest…

    Musicians are an abstraction to people because of the content they produce in their music and what they do personally that can hurt, offend, and even change others, whether in a positive or in a negative way. Dehumanization is treating someone like they are not human and form opinions on people that aren’t read. People from all around the world have an idea on what they want to do in their life, and in most cases is to become a famous celebrity like an actor, musician, or even an athlete, so they can inspire and motivate others to go out explore the world and make a change in a positive way. Music has been around for centuries and it has continued to impact and influence people in our everyday lives.

    The recording career of the Beatles from 1962 to 1970 can be divided into 3 different style periods, namely: the early period, the middle period, and the late period. In order to analyze the remarkable changes in style that took place throughout the band’s historic recording career, one must look at each period individually. According to Tuomas Eerola (10), in order to do this properly, the solution can only be obtained by classifying the works of these musicians into a number of recording projects. Thus, the use of an intermediate level between a song and its period of recording portrays changes in its style of music in a more accurate manner.
