Beatles for Sale

This week in history of rock and roll we listened to most of one of the Beatles albums called Beatles for sale, and even though it wasn't one of their best albums I still thought that it was very good. It seemed like it was one of their darker albums, the first song I'm a Loser really showed that. Also album cover showed that they were tired while making it. I really like the Beatles and it's amazing that they accomplished 4 (I think) albums in only 20 months, and each album was very good.

The Who

This week on Wednesday in history of rock and roll we listened one of The Who albums and it was okay. It was a lot better than the rolling stones album but not as good as the Beatles. There were a couple songs that I liked, one of the songs I liked was my generation. I thought that the stuttering was pretty cool, and their voices were good too. I have listened to The Who before and I think that they have some really good songs.

What is Rock and Roll?

What is Rock and Roll? I don't think that there is one specific definition defining what rock and roll is. I think that it has to have a specific sound, but I don't know how to describe it. The guitar, drums and piano are the main insturments to me that create the sound of rock and roll.  Every person has a different view on what it is.

The Rolling Stones

On Thursday in class we listened to the Rolling Stones' first album and it was horrible. The first two songs were decent, but as the album went in it got worse and worst. All of the songs sounded relatively the same and they sounded like they were just randomly banging there instruments. Also the whistling and harmonica were too loud and obnoxious.

Music I have been listening to

This week I have started to listen to some of Phoenix's music, I think that it is pretty good. I can't believe that they performed at our school, I wish that I could have gone. I have also been listening the Beatles on my own out of class, I listened to various songs randomly out of some of their albums, I really like their song called Revolution.

Beatles Movie

Yesterday in class we watched another Beatles movie. I thought that it was very interesting learning about how the Beatles became the Beatles. I couldn't imagine going to another country to perform while still being in high school. Its amazing how they all some how ended up with  each other. I look forward to finishing the movie and listening to more of the Beatles.

This Week in Class

On Monday, we watched Shut Up and Play the Hits, and I didn't like. There were some funny parts, but mostly it was pretty boring. I only liked one of their songs, and that was the one with Reggie Watts. On Wednesday we talked about ACL and some random artists. I'm not going to ACL this week, but I might go next week. I really liked Reggie Watts, I think he is a good singer and he is hilarious. If I were to go to ACL, on Friday, I the main performances I would want to see are fun and muse. It would be interesting to see The Blind Boys of Alabama perform.

Shwayze

Today I listened to one of Shwayze's albums,  I think it was just called Shwayze, and I thought it was great. I don't think there was song that I didn't like. Shwayze's lyrics are pretty interesting, and the lyrics of most of their songs aren't too repetitive. I thought that the drumming sounded good. Some of my favorite songs in this album are Buzzin, Corona and Lime, and High Together. I really enjoy Shwayze's music and I'm looking forward to listening to more of it.
