    Junta, the two disc set released by Phish in 1988, offers all listeners a look into the band’s early days. Before the term “jam band” was coined, lead guitarist Trey Anastasio described the band as a prog-rock band. The bands work in the progressive music world will always be undermined by the stereotypical hippie jam band label tied to them; this is a truly a shame. Junta shows us that the band is so much more than just some noodley, mindless jam band.…

    For as much as I love Phish, there is so much music I hadn’t heard until I decided to write this paper. It was almost impossible for me to have lots of experience with all the different periods of jamming they had. I decided that I would listen to and discuss how music from the same band could change so drastically throughout their career, and I think I learned more than I thought I would.…

    Both of these albums set records on and off the stage (Vaziri, Aidin. Para 12). The bands success kept booming touring all around the world. Kiedis became 100 percent sober in 2000 and is now a motivational speaker in a number of rehab facilities. After becoming clean he wrote an autobiography, called Scar Tissue, which was about his struggles in life and how the band helped him get through them. After By the way, produced in 1999, the band was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, and after 26 years of rock, the band seemed to be done with this album. They then produced Stadium Arcadium in 2006. This album was a top seller for two years in a row, and after the album, John left the band, but peacefully this time around. The other three musicians were not done though; they brought in their backup guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer. With Klinghoffer on guitar, the band created the album I’m With You in 2012 and are on their last tour this year (Shriver, Jerry. Para…

    Upon their arrival on the pop-punk scene in the early 2000’s, Something Corporate quickly rose to cult fame and notoriety due to their catchy, witty take on post-emo anthems. Leaving Through the Window is a perfect example of this. Although some songs play on some of the more stereotypical pop-punk tropes (the manic-pixie-dream-girl of “Punk Rock Princess”, for instance), it also holds profound wisdom and reflection, highlighted in the nostalgic “Cavanaugh Park”. Although many of the songs tend to bleed together and begin to sound eerily similar to one another, they bear enough difference to one another to remain exciting and captivating throughout its 58 minute playtime. Singer Andrew McMahon’s vocals aren’t the most refined, but pack the…

    At the end of chapter two, a chapter in which the genre of blues evolved into the sub genres of urban blues and rhythm and blues, we are asked compare the two songs in terms of lyrics tempo and feel. BB King’s “Three O’clock Blues” sounds much more like blues than Bo Diddley’s “Bo Diddley” which could be described more as rhythm and blues because it utilizes more than one singer and a fuller, more consistent sound with guitars functioning as a rhythm instrument. Bo Diddley also uses backing vocals to create a more dynamic sound. In Three O’clock Blues, the guitar plays single notes one after another versus strumming multiple notes at once in the form of chords. In Three O’clock Blues, BB King trades roles with the guitar in a way. He sings lyrics, much more depressing and dark than Bo Diddley, but then lets his guitar as if he is responding to the vocals that were previously sung. Its also slower in tempo than Bo Diddley, and lacks any obvious form of rhythm. Bo Diddley is a musical piece that one could clap his or her hands to because it has a definitive beat to it, hence the term rhythm and blues. The migration of African Americans to the urban industrial centers of Chicago, Detroit, New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere in the 1920s and 1930s created a new market for jazz, blues, and related genres of music, often performed by full-time musicians, either working alone or in small groups. The precursors of rhythm and blues came from jazz and blues, which overlapped in the Late-1920s,1930s through the work of musicians such as The Harlem Hamfats, with their 1936 hit "Oh Red", as well as Lonnie Johnson, Leroy Carr, Cab Calloway, Count Basie, and T-Bone Walker. There was also increasing emphasis on the electric guitar as a lead instrument, as well as the piano and saxophone.[14]…

    In the midst of a time where black Americans were facing extreme ridicule and fighting for their rights, Sam Cooke arose from the Gospel music style and merged into the music known as Soul, a genre that spoke to the socially crumbling nation about peace and civil rights changes. Through his smooth style, velvety voice, handsome appearance, and appeal to black and white audiences alike, Sam Cooke made a difference in the lives of Americans in the 1960s by singing with pure emotion and soul, like in "A Change is Gonna Come." Through this genre’s sincere singing with lyrics full of emotion, a sense of understanding was brought to the people of America about the African-American struggle for equality.…
