The Beatles are an amazing band that formed in Liverpool 1960. This band consisted of 4 members, John Lennon (Guitar/vocals), Paul McCartney (Guitar/vocals), George Harrison (Bass), Ringo Starr (Drums). At least half of the members in The Beatles do more than one instrument. The Beatles had many albums such as The White Album, The Black Album, and Abbey Road. I also think that there songs are very unique in different ways and are famous all over the U.S. The Beatles started out as regular…

Two things country music star Hank Williams, Sr. did right was to become a legend and to have a famous song named Hank Williams, Jr. One thing he did terribly wrong was to drink to excess and die very young. The debut of Hank Williams, Sr. at the Grand Ole Opry was a great triumph. The debut remains the most famous in the history of live country music performance program broadcast on WSN Nashville weekly since 1925. When Williams grabbed the microphone on June 11, 1949 on the Grand Ole Opry…

The biggest challenge in Sinatra’s career was dealing with and accepting the changes in the music business. Around the 1950s and 1960s, Sinatra’s career began to drop as people’s interest now turned to new, upcoming music: “[Sinatra] was left with a shrinking audience and his own stubborn good taste” (Sinatra, Tina par. 22). Sinatra’s own daughter was able to see how her father’s popularity was starting to get worse because of his own “stubborn good taste”. William Ruhlmann, a well-known writer…

I chose to write my essay answering question number five, "Explain how rock music in the 1960s was egalitatian, eclectic, and real?". As a Fashion Merchandising major, when I think of a certain era, I often think of the clothing or popular culture during that period.

The music that sticks out to me the most during this time is from The Beatles and Beach Boys. To be eclectic…

Sometimes I envy my parents, because they had the good fortune to live through the richest musical eras: the sixties’, seventies’ eighties’, and nineties’. During the time my parents were in college and dating, they went to Air Supply, Bee Gees and ABBA concerts together. I remember that the first music I ever heard was my mother’s collection of vinyl records and cd’s. I grew up listening to Robert Plant, Axl Rose and Freddie Mercury’s God-like vocals, Led Zeppelin’s head-scratching lyrics,…
