Through their iconic music style, the Stones influenced American music, culture, and ideas.  ]]> 2017-12-01 05:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212147456 hunter_tauferner https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212147706 Through their music, the Stones discussed their ideas that other bands would not consider writing about. They sang these songs to test society and share their opinion on the current issues. They wrote songs discussing society, offhand brutality, sex, and other taboos. Because the Stones were not afraid to write songs about such controversial topics, they were viewed as bad boys.]]> 2017-12-01 05:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212147706 hunter_tauferner https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212147737 2017-12-01 05:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212147737 hunter_tauferner https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212147844 The Rolling Stones are interesting because they took such an influence from blues. Their name actually originated from a Muddy Waters' song. Both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards grew up listening to blues, mainly Chicago's electric blues. Keith Richards stated in an interview in 2008, “We got heavily into the blues – Chicago blues particularly because every major, modern blues artist was coming out of Chicago. . . we weren’t writing our own songs then. We were just playing mostly blues & rock ‘n roll-Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters stuff.” – Keith Richards Many of the members' favorite artists included, Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley,Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Chuck Berry, and Earl Phillips.]]> 2017-12-01 05:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212147844 hunter_tauferner https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212148808  The songs of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley formed over half of the Stones’ early set lists, and Chuck Berry’s “You Can’t Catch Me” was also featured on their third album. They constantly covered blues artists until they started to make their own songs. In the song 'Hate to See You Go' they use the typical 12 bar blues style of song writing that shows they still are connected to the blues genre. In the song 'Satisfaction', the Stones use the typical call and response heard in many blues songs. Mick Jagger says a verse and it is followed by a guitar lick. The Rolling Stones were also known for not being as clean as other groups like the Beatles. Their finished products didn't seem exactly "perfect" which was a common trait of blues songs. Most of them were just a man and a guitar and were very polished. It sounded more natural and that is what the Rolling Stones music had to it. Blues artists also used the harmonica often. Mick Jagger played the harmonica on many songs, like 'I Just Wanna Make Love to You'.]]> 2017-12-01 05:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212148808 hunter_tauferner https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212150298 Overall, the Rolling Stones were a great, influential, and interesting band. Personally, I think they are great because they incorporated an older genre of music into their music and modernized it again. They carried on blues traditions and techniques, as well as changing the style at the time of clean cut young men into the currently known rock star persona.]]> 2017-12-01 05:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hunter_tauferner/y9pk9qomzak0/wish/212150298
