The Beatles songs

The name Elvis Presley brings many other words to mind: musical innovator, a rock n’ roller, extremely well known celebrity, epic downfall, fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, The King. However, to most of his fans, he was much more than a commonly-used name in 1950’s tabloids. He was their idol and served as a way to express them. Elvis Presley was a true American success story that changed the music industry, creating conflict throughout his entire career. He started with nothing,…

that not what I do. I continually try to explore, and find that fascinating. When you released Emperor's New Sound, there was another EP released as well. Would you tell me about it? Arthur: “It is an experimental record, with another five song EP, that was released called “It’s No Way to Treat a Piano.” Where I took an acoustic piano and altered it, to such an extent you cannot recognized it as a piano. Most of the attention went to “Emperor’s New Sound.” You can find it on most of…

Often, people that are always happy and positive are probably those that have a lot of friends and people they love surrounding them in their lives. At school, someone may stand out because they sit alone at lunch and don't talk to anyone. Feeling alone can be hard, so having a friend to help them through it is helpful. Although there are benefits to being alone, having a strong companionship with someone is beneficial for a person because having someone to lean on would prevent the feeling of…

Roll”)... Even though Elvis Presley was a huge hit during this time it was beginning to open a rising tide of radically different themes; like eastern mysticism, psychedelic drug use and transcendentalism. Bands like the Beatles, the Velvet underground, and Jimi Hendrix had many songs with drug-related themes (Repellent) . Rock and Roll also pushed the limits of sexual expression, from Elvis the Pelvis grinding action to Little Richards sexually suggestive lyrics. Rock and Roll was the…

In the beginning of the 1970's, a fresh America was going through a culture change. The Beatles breaking-up within the first year, the peace-loving hippies of the 60's were dwindling down to past fantasies, and Rock and Roll was about to have a new kind of monster pierce the ears of the youth. That monster was none other than the acclaimed "Hottest Band in the World", Kiss. Which would be absent idea without the thundering thump of the stick-wielding drummer Peter Criss. Peter Criss (George…

A ton of great music came out in 1975 including, Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, Queen's A Night at the Opera, Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic, Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, the Who's The Who By Numbers, Steely Dan's Katie Lied and Rush's Fly by Night just to name a few. As all of these albums celebrate their 40th anniversary, I'm reminded of just how important 1975 was for music. While each of these recordings were monumental, there are four that standout as…

We chose Frank Sinatra for this project because he was arguably the twentieth century’s greatest singer of popular song. He also acted in some of the popular movies of the 50s and 60s. He was a one of a kind man, simultaneously a ladies’ man and a man’s man. Women wanted to be with him and men wanted to be him. After all, he had a total of four wives in his lifetime, and if he did not die in 1998 he probably would have remarried again. Sinatra became famous singing in a band called the Rat Pack.…

When thinking of influential music artists, there are a few household names sure to come up first. Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson are known as the Kings of Rock and Pop because of what they did for their respective genres, and The Beatles were a global sensation often credited with changing music forever. However, there is one name that is often glossed over. Whether it’s because they are marginalized as a hippie fad or just that the average person doesn’t stop to consider their impact, the…

Since rock and roll did not begin till the mid 1950s the youth was still being held to strict tidy polices by parents and educators. Social cultural wise the teens were to dress in an specific manner where the males must be dressed in tight jeans, button up shirts and letterman cardigans. As for the girls they had to wear ballet flats with long poodle skirts. The youth of the 50s was also given the same social norms that their parents acquired when they were young. Many of the recreational…
