What I got out of this class: My music library

# data[].attributes.body
Coming into this class, I did not have a variety of music styles in my playlist.

My music library on my phone usually consisted of the most popular songs at the time and songs from musicals.

It wasn't a bad library for me, but it wasn't the best it could be.

Coming out of this class, my music library has changed so much.

I have rock, jazz, psychedelic, classical, and country rock in my music library.

Being in this class has helped me want to branch out more and find new music.

Many times in this class, Mr. Fleischmann has had us listen to music and figure out what genre it fits in and why, and doing that many times makes me think more into what I am hearing.

I mainly listen to music in the car, and while listening to music on the radio I am able to, in a certain extent, pick out little things in the accompaniment, and lyrics.

Many times I am able to find out what certain sound is driving the song and I also figure out what the lyrics are saying.

Thinking about popular music...

This class has helped emphasize the idea to me that there is so much more amazing music in the world and that the "popular" music that we hear on the radio is in no why the only music people should be listening to.

Like in the 70s with punk

Punk was an act against the "popular" music at the time

People searched underground in New York for a new music scene, and the music from artists like The Velvet Underground was just as or more great than the "popular" music at the time

There's great music everywhere

The Beatles are one of many artists from the units we learned that has stuck to me since we finished learning about them.

It's surprisingly hard to explain exactly why I enjoy the Beatles, but yeah I'll try

I like the idea that the Beatles brought back to America what was once popular before there.

It is like the Beatles revived something in America that become easily forgotten overtime

I like the music the Beatles have written, obviously

The songs I like are mainly from the beginning of their careers as a band, so in the early 60s.

The Beatles were the start of something new, the British Invasion, and they were just being themselves.

It was not a corruption of big businesses

Beatlemania is very interesting to me

The Eagles, surprisingly, became one of the bands that I kept listening to after we finished learning about them in class. I did not see myself as being someone who is into country rock, but yeah I really liked watching the documentary videos on the Eagles and listening to their music.

Some of the songs I like are:

"Long Run"

"Witchy Woman"

"Take it To The Limit"

"Lyin' Eyes"

"The Best Of My Love"

One thing that I like about the Eagles is that they sort of (I don't know for sure) created their own genre

Bernie Leadon was known for his country music (bluegrass, country) background

Glenn Frey wanted to move towards a more of a rock band

There later was a compromise between country and rock and the Eagles became successful because of this compromise

Don Henley was a multi-talented musician

played guitar, drums, and sang

Glenn Frey said that he does not sing in most of the songs anymore because they have Don Henley
