A Lasting Legacy

Many bands leave a fragment of themselves, and other bands capitalize on their strengths.  The Beatles are one of the most amazing bands that rock and roll has seen.  They are idols for me that I really wish I could have met.  Here is an article that tells a little about The Beatles.  I think the points it expresses are really good.  A quote from the article that I find helps me express their legacy " It was the Beatles who established the long playing album as an artistic medium that showcased interesting songs and compelling performances with no discernible duplication or flagging of inspiration through almost 10 years."  This showcases other people's views toward this, and again, The Beatles are truly an amazing band.

The Start

Rock wasn't started by the American idols you think of.  Elvis Presley usually pops into your head, but he didn't start it.  An African American man named Chuck Berry started it all.  This is a really big issue that people have they usually go by the most popular person, but that's not the case here....Chuck Berry started the new genre here.  Here is an article that is a very biased about Elvis.  There are many articles like this, but just remember the real start of rock was Chuck Berry.

Rock History

      One of the most changing and diverse things found in our lives is music.  Music is a passion; a driving force to succeed for many.  Rock just hapens to fall into the catergory.  It ranges from the mellow beatles to the hardcore screamo of today.  With a little high pitched "Yeahs" in between.  The changes are drastic, but the sound is still as sweet as a homeade cake.  For generations yet to come, it will still be changing.  This is just a preview of the reasons Rock is close to my heart.
