Best Of Van Halen: Volume I
.... music be the artwork for the album.
They took their hit songs from all of their records and put them in order by year. The first song, Evolution, incorporates a monstrous guitar solo by non other than the master himself, Eddie Van Halen. The next five tracks are not included in my favorites due to simple fact that I was too young to recognize the songs when they were first out. Still awesome songs, they just don’t get me psyched up like the later tracks. These songs include “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love”, “Runnin’ With The Devil”, “Dance The Night Away”, “And The Cradle Will Rock”, and “Unchained”.
My favorites are from number .....

Importance Of Music In Society
.... cute girls wearing designer jeans or painted-on hoochie-wear Capris escaped a chaperon and slow -danced in the arms of her significant other or less attractive boys in torn blue jeans.
There were many types of music played for the dancers and listeners. It changed for everyone who heard it. It may have been because of the taste, or the type of music. All the music had a different feeling. Two types of music, Rock and Pop had a calm feeling or a dance like quality. Both usually had a regular beat. Although there was nothing wrong with Eddie Dean’s, Ragay Cowboy or the Watermelon Crawl, they could not compare to Drew’s Famous Par .....

Being A Disc Jockey
.... available, which include those listed above, plus many more.
The best way to start out in this field is to work at a college or local radio station, either being a disc jockey or just an intern(Robinson). Aside from having their own daily show, one will also learn how to put a show together, what it’s like to be on-air, and knowledge of working for a station will be gained. To go about finding a job as a radio broadcaster, one may call up different radio stations in their area asking if there are any open positions, but if that fails, then asking if they do know of any stations that are hiring new talents is a great thing to .....

Native American Music
.... the music, but because repetitions with slight variations are often too insignificant for outside listeners to notice.
In the Iroquois Quiver Dance the first thing to strike the ear is what is often known as a “call and response” form. One singer announces a phrase of “lexical text,” known as the call, the other singer answers him in a vocal pattern. This continues throughout the song. In illustrating many of the musical styles among Native American music, this has another name known as the “Warrior’s Stomp Dance.” The voices in the Iroquois Quiver Dance are relatively relaxed compared with that of the Plains singing.

Rock Music
.... teenagers. Disc jockey Alan Freed was the one who introduced this music and later gave it the name of Rock n' Roll. Record companies distributed records played by whites but composed by blacks. Whites were frustrated because there weren't any white artists and they didn't want the blacks to be the stars until Bill Haley appeared with his "Rock Around the Clock". In this decade, Elvis Presley introduced a music that was sexual suggestive and outraged dull adults. In time he changed the style of the music by adopting a country and western style and became a national hero. By the end of this decade and the start of the next, Rock .....

Tone In Music
.... tones in the instrumental pieces Canyon and Beethoven's 5th symphony. In Canyon, the tone throughout the piece is upbeat and high-strung, very forceful in intensity. Beethoven's symphony number 5 on the other hand is totally the opposite, in which the tone is characterized to be mellow and soft. These contrasting tones serve to identify with the listener. The composers aim to make a piece of music at a certain tone, which will be pleasant to the listener, and sometimes to convey a message. For example in "All Cried Out" by Allure and 112, the instrumental song serves to instill an image of being so distraught that your all crie .....

The Beatles And The Sex Pistols: A Study
.... as fast. However, they were to have an impact on popular music that hadn't been felt since the Beatles. Although they weren't the first punk group, they definitely defined the genre in the popular sense. From their music come new wave, alternative, and grunge.
Lyrically, the groups definitely differed. The Beatles compositions were quite eclectic, whereas the Sex Pistols tend to be all drawn upon their dissatisfaction with society. The majority of the Beatles songs were written by the awesome partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. All four members of the Sex Pistols are accredited for composing their song .....

Dave Matthews' "Dancing Nancies"
.... question about it, “Could I have been anyone other then me?” Some people would read this question and see nothing more then a simple sentence. Perhaps focusing on the media exposure, they are often the ones who fail to grasp true understanding of the music. Others, however, read this same simple sentence, but dig deeper into the meaning of the question. These individuals search for an understanding greater than the interpretations fed to them by pop culture. In doing so they discover parallels to their everyday lives and feelings hidden in the music. I have often asked myself, “what if things had been different, who wo .....

John Rzeznik's Iris
.... This shows a way of continuing his thoughts to stress a point and keeps the reader interested. This song contains a sad and depressing tone. The writer attempts to reach out and understand his lover. While he also wants her to see and comprehend him, but not as the world would, as he writes, “‘Cause I don’t think that they’d (the world) understand.”
In the first verse, or stanza, the reader perceives a mixture of senses. “Touch” and “feel” are the first senses he addresses. Rzeznik wants the reader to feel as he does about being in love. He describes the way he feels by using the senses. This style of writing exhibi .....

Rock Music
.... that time. In time, he changed the style of the music by adopting a country and western style and became a national hero. By the end of this decade and the start of the next, Rock n' Roll started to decline because it was formula-ridden and it was too sentimental. Teenage audiences transferred their allegiance to Folk music.
In 1963, the renewal of Rock n' Roll came when The Beatles started to play. The Beatles, for some the best rock group ever, were from Liverpool, England. Through the 60's, The Beatles dominated the record industries and with their dominant instrumentation, which included: electric leads, rhythm, bass guitar, .....

Hawaiian Music
.... that guitar has been added to this selection of instruments.
The music of Hawaii is a very beautiful harmonization between voices and instruments. The native Hawaiians are known for their vocal ability when it comes to singing. The women’s voices can often times reach an impossibly high soprano note with considerable ease while the men are also able to reach high notes otherwise considered difficult by most men in other areas of the world.
The main context of Hawaiian music has, as previously stated, most often been used as a form of worship and to celebrate their chieftains. Nowadays, it is used for anything from folk perfo .....

The History Of Music
.... the length of each note was developed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Notes took new shapes and stems were added to some notes according to their length. By the 1600's the notes had become round and musical notation began to look like it does today.
Today music is written and printed in a picture language. This language of notation indicates the pitch of the tones, their place in a sequence of tones, their duration (the length of time a tone is held), and the composer's ideas about how they should be played. Notes are written signs that represent tones (musical sounds). The notes appear on a staff, a set of fiv .....
