Although a thing of the past, 60’s and 70’s music is still very popular today. Many bands were memorable, but only a certain few of them changed music forever. Some of these bands were KISS, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Rolling Stones. The greatest and most influential out of any of the groups from this era, though, was The Beatles. The Beatles was made up of four musicians; Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
The Beatles were a band that influenced Pink Floyd greatly in the lead up to the release of Dark Side of the Moon; most bands were influenced by the Beatles at this time. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band, labelled the bible of summer 1967, gobsmacked musicians all over the world, Pink Floyd being no exception. When Syd Barrett was still in the band, he quoted from the album‘s title song in his own single Apples and Oranges, while Walters twice quoted Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, lyrically in Let There be More Light, and musically in Point me at the Sky. When Gilmour joined, he took much of his guitar sound from the sonic palette used for The Beatle’s The White Album.
There are many people who contribute to music but there are just some people who had an impact on the genre as a whole. Some of those people in the old generation were Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and Buddy Holly. Chuck Berry was one of the first black rock and roll performers to appeal to black and white audiences. Since Elvis Presley, The Beatles had the greatest impact on rock music. (The history of rock music) Every music genre has its own identity.
These people might be right but I can almost guarantee that there is probably no other artist that is as influential as Hendrix and that has changed music the way he has. After listening to some pieces of his work, they made me want to jump up on the stage with him and rock with my imaginary guitar. In my opinion he is the best
Also in his era of music Jimi Hendrix seemed to be an influential person in the music community as well. Winning several high profile rock music awards; Jimi Hendrix was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame due to his impressive musical ideas. It is also said that the Woodstock Festival belong to Jimi Hendrix playing the “Star-Spangled Banner” in such a unusual way but impressive to ears of some in which most of the people was gone
“We were just the spokesmen for a generation”, answered Paul McCartney when asked about his thoughts on the roles of rock music in the 1960’s (Szatmary 97), “I try to use my music to move these people to act”, said legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix when asked about the motives of his music (Jimi). Both these men were very aware of the influence they held as Rock musicians, and acted upon that knowledge as is evident in their lyrics. There were many other musicians at the time that found themselves in the same position. The position where their music had more value to it than just entertainment, where it could actually bring about change. Rock music brought about the cultural revolutions of the sixties and seventies.
What has the power to make you get up and move? Rock, rap, pop, country, and blues are all forms of this phenomenon we call music. Music has been a part of each and every one of our lives. Both rock and pop can be considered movements in society; however, the motivations for these movements were on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Also another thing that they have in common is that once the artists are famous they may both have a tendency to fall off the deep end.
You gotta be able to leave your head without drugs." Judging from the eye-rolling and mild disgust that greeted the tragic images of the late Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty (both of whom were far more famous for taking drugs than for making music under their spell), Adolf isn't alone in balking at rock's reputation for intoxication. Just the same, that doesn't change the fact that, more often than not, when musicians become teetotalers, the resulting music is usually a pile of donkey dung. Take Bob Dylan, for instance. While he certainly delivered a handful of decent records after ending his (practically) sleepless eighteen months on Dexedrine and cannabis in the mid-'60s, those were rare gems in an ocean of useless tunes.
Diego Cardoso Arango – ID A01311240 Campus Bogotá – June 5th 2012 Philips and Matsushita (now know as Panasonic) are two of the most recognized electronics corporations worldwide and both had similar beginnings, as they were single-product companies that had rapid growths and that eventually encountered that their local markets weren’t big enough for their expansion. Through the last century they have experienced lots of changes in their organizational structures in their race to become the top-electronics firm in the world, but not always having the results they were expecting. Philips is a Dutch company founded in 1892 that started as a small light bulb factory but that in less than a decade took a leading position in the European market. It didn’t take long for the company to became also a leader in industrial research, expand the business abroad and even create joint ventures with other companies to share knowledge (such as the Principal Agreement that signed with General Electric to share patents). During the first half of the XXth century, Philips built National Organizations (NOs) throughout the globe and relied heavily on the strengths of each of them, giving them independence and power to react to market conditions, built their own technical capabilities and define their product development strategies.
Warhol’s contributions to film, music, and art revolutionized the underground world and were soon exposed to mainstream pop culture, thus making these categories vital in the amalgamation of underground and pop culture. Although he is probably least recognized for his role as a director, Warhol was quite successful in filmmaking during the 1960s, directing more than sixty films within that decade. The jump from painting to directing was not a random move, but a plan strategically thought out. The value of Warhol’s pieces were rising steadily, but they were still low: Bockris (2003. p.224.)
