Pink Floyd Accomplishments

Improved Essays
In 30 years, I’ll probably be living in a decent house in the suburbs somewhere with a loving wife and kids, grilling out on the weekends. But in order for me to consider my life a success, I would have to look back on my accomplishments and decide from there. My childhood was filled with the mind blowing instrumentals of Pink Floyd, along with the raw talent of Jimi Hendrix and Randy Rhoads, and I knew I wanted to be like them. I wanted to be a rock star. To be a rock star, a band is required. And not only do you need a band, you need a venue to play at. The only issue with my aspiration besides not having a band, was that I could not sing or play any instruments. So unsurprisingly, as I grew older, the dream faded. That is until I received

    Led Zeppelin is the first Led Zeppelin album, released in 1969. I love the whole sound of the album and I think it is the best Zeppelin album and started their amazing run of music in the 1960’s and 1970’s. I think the reason the album is so good is because the band is really just a collection of the most talented player of each respective instrument at the time. Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant are each arguably the most talented player of their respective instruments (guitar, drums, bass, and vocals). It shows in their music, which is mostly rooted in the blues.…

It was a slow paced year where pressures such as ACT and SAT preparation, applying for colleges, and deciding your career path seemed so far away. As long as I remember, I have been on a never ending journey of discovering my talents and finding a career that would be most suitable for me to contribute to society. I was convinced that If just lived life the way I was supposed to and fulfilled my responsibilities, that it all would just come to me one day. Because of my assumption of how much time I had to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, I found myself putting these important thoughts on a hiatus.…

    In Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”, citizens live without individuality, intelligence, and emotions, all of which can be connected to the absence of playable music. In the real world, everyone is affected by music that they listen to or create themselves, but it is truly underestimated. People have the distinguished ability to express their individuality through the varying types of music in the world and how they react to it. Being a musician can challenge someone’s mental and physical abilities and, if they accept the challenge, can make them more intelligent and capable members of society. Music can also cater to one’s differing emotions and help them to understand their feelings and coping methods.…

Therefore, although the word "success" can be found in any dictionary, the meaning of the word is open to interpretation. Similarly, as individuals age, undergo certain hardships, and accomplish goals, an individual's definition of success can also evolve over time.…
