D’Souza acknowledges that while there are many materialistic gains to be made in the American society the desire for immigration and the commonly held views of America has a more prominent reason, the American dream is a dream based on freedom.
The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest.
Although The Beatles weren’t exactly considered a “popular group” in Liverpool; in fact most people looked down on them, they managed to straighten up and do well at the performance. The band played really long hours and was pushed around by the club’s owner, Bruno Koschimider, to make them put on a good show. The Beatles returned to Liverpool, and on February 21, 1961, they debuted at the Cavern club on Mathew Street, They

First, what is the American Dream? If we truly don’t understand what it is, then we don’t really know whether it is alive or dead. (Dictionary.com) defines the American Dream as the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity traditionally held to be available to every American. What does that really mean?

Led Zeppelin is truly an influential music group because they transformed Rock n’ Roll into something that people had never heard before and proved that there was no limit to the amount of creativity that could go into one song.
