What kind of music do you listen to? What is your favorite genre? Regardless of your preferences, the odds are
you favorite band, song, or performance was influenced someway by the
Beatles. It was 50 years ago on February
9th that this band from Liverpool, England performed on the Ed
Sullivan Show and changed the world forever.
The Beatles are the greatest selling band of all time. They have more number one hits in the United
Kingdom and the United States than anyone ever.
You can see and hear the
influence of the Beatles in most music today.
They were not afraid of experimenting in different genres or with
different instruments. They were the first
to perform a stadium concert. Each album
was a unique experience with a different sound.
John, Paul, George, and Ringo each contributed in their own way to the
sound and success of the Beatles.
For having such a huge influence, they had a surprisingly
short career. After less than a decade,
the Beatles broke up in 1970. The
pressure of being forever and always linked to one another proved to be too
much. Most fans were anxiously awaiting
a reunion which unfortunately was made impossible after John Lennon was killed
by a crazed fan in December of 1980.
George Harrison lost his life in 2001 after battling cancer. The remaining members, Paul McCartney and
Ringo Starr, continue to perform and contribute to the musical world.
What kind of music do you listen to? Why? Do you like to listen to music? Why is it appealing? Can music change the world? If so, how?
I listen to old fashioned music like Eye of the Tiger and Total Eclipse of the Heart, because it's good music with a good point to get across whereas today all songs are basically about break-ups. Because it calls me down and helps me sleep and think. It lets my Ears relax and listen to a nice sound. Sometimes music has an influence because I think it has the power to unite us.
ReplyDeleteI listen to most of the new bands like Imagine Dragons and One Republic. It gets me pumped up and ready for the day. I like to listen to music in the car or when I do my homework. I'm listening to music right now, in fact. I like it because it lets me relax and take a break from everything else. I think music can change the world because that day the Beetles came to America was remembered, well, until now and probably for a while. I mean 'Beatlemania' is a phrase still used today. There are so many bands that are changing history.
ReplyDeleteI like listening to rap music. It fascinates me that people can move their mouth so quick to rhymes. Music also gets me pumped up ,especially rap. I think music can definitely change the world because of just the physical feeling it gives someone.
ReplyDeleteThe music that I listen to is called "the hottest hits". That maybe Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice to Royals by Lorde. I listen to "the hottest hits" because it makes my feel like I am in a different world, gets me moving, makes me energetic, and makes me happy. I love to listen to music for the same reasons that i listen to "the hottest hits". I am not sure why music is appealing to me. I think that it might be appealing to me just because it is just common for me to be listening to music.Yes, I do think that music can change the world because it inspires others.
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to "new" and "modern" music, but I also like to listen to music that has an inspiring story. Some bands like One Republic sing these kinds of songs. I also love music that makes you feel happy, like the Beatles! I think music is appealing because it takes people's minds off of all the hard stuff in there lives. I believe music can change the world, and in a positive way, too. Music can speak to people in a way no words ever could. The beats, rhythms, tunes, they all come together to create one universal language. A language that has the power to do unimaginable things.

I most definitely listen to music because it helps me to concentrate and relax. If anything can change the world it's music. It helps people express their feelings in a way everyone understands and respects. And I'm talking about real music. Not the stupid rap and break up songs people think they can call "music". If people get out their feelings, the world is a more relaxed place.

But I prefer classical music such as Beethoven, Ludwig, etc. but I also like the listen to some modern day songs and artists. All in all, I prefer classical music over all other kinds of music. I mainly like Classical because I feel like it is a stronger way to express your feelings rather then shouting or wrapping. You can truly hear the meaning the person is trying to get across in an artistic manner. I do listen to music, I mean, it's kind of hard to avoid it. I do like music and will listen to it in the car or somewhere else. But I don't typically think, "I want to go and listen to music." I find music appealing because it is kind of a glimpse into peoples overall emotions and thoughts. I feel this way with all different kinds of music. I truly feel like music is also a good way to know yourself better and to be able to tell what your, or others around you's personality is. I think that music can change the world in that the words that are poured out into a song can change how someone feels, and acts towards a person or idea. I feel like in many respects that music can have the power to change the world.
