When I imagine a band that represents rock, I think about “Kiss”. “Kiss” is a band I believe that had an essential role in the history of rock. I also believe that this band is well known than any other rock bands.
I don’t know much about rock, but I do know there is a connection to the “blues” from attending your previous classes. I also know that it is popular among older generations. I believe the media manipulates a lot of people by playing the same types of songs over and over. By doing this, the listeners get used to the music and soon start liking the music. I think if the media tried something new like more rock music, the young generation could start a new trend.
In this class, I look forward to increasing my knowledge on the history of rock and dispersing my music library to more rock singers. I am also interested in learning about how the rock singers started their careers and what differents things were done during that time. Overall I think this will be an interesting class to learn
