Thornton’s recording of "Hound Dog" with that of Elvis Presley recording. The first difference between Big Mama Thornton’s and Elvis Presley’s version is that Big Mama recorded the song “Hound Dog” as a blues song. Whereas Elvis version is considered to be Rock N Roll. Another difference between the two different recordings of Hound Dog is that both artist decided to start of the song differently. In Big Mama Thornton’s version she decides to start the song off like in a typical blues way.…

pretty enjoyable. I am not certain if they were a well know small local band or if they were just a student band that formed on campus but they were very talented and I hope that they do well I their career. This band had a more ‘soft’ alternative rock vibe and their interpretation of known song were fun, easily recognizable, and also easily understood. One of my favorite parts about this event wasn’t the music itself but seeing how student slowly made their way out of fisher or the other…

I have interviewed a small number of people, including people from my Generation Y and X and I researched multiple sites and overall I have found out that Foo Fighters have been viewed much more positively compared to that of other rock band and artists as they do not need to rely on being vulgar or doing explicit things to sell music. For instance, Italian man Fabio Zaffagnini, took a whole year to put together a huge one thousand person concert to play the song “Learn to Fly” so…

Jimi Hendrix was a prominent cultural figure in the 60’s. He was a gifted guitarist and songwriter. His style and look influenced some of the biggest artist we know today such as Rick James, Prince and Erykah Badu. I enjoyed listening to this piece by Jimi Hendrix. I can remember the melody but I would have to listen to the piece a few times, only because he does a lot of improvisation. The only part I can remember easily is the chorus because I feel as if it stays constant; he does not change…

Chuck Berry used electric guitar in his songs, which made his songs different from others. This is why I think Chuck Berry is the real king of Rock and Roll.

Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Wham! and the Beatles. Wozniak's songs run in different styles: some are modern folk music; many have undertones reminiscent of children's songs; and then there are the songs with a clear rock sound. After attending college, John moved to east New York to work with Jared Kotler. Jared really liked John’s talent and they put together the money to record a duo at Sabella Recording Studios. Capitol…

and George Weiss symbolically connected the colors of nature to the colors of mankind. This powerful theme of the song worked to send a message of acceptance for all races despite their skin colors, and I personally take that message to the heart. There’s an optimistic tone to the song with lines like “I see babies crying, I watch them grow”, this gives off a sense of serenity and hopeful view of the future. This is also why I chose this particular piece, the songwriters’ and I share the same…
