Required Listening

One of the artist that i was intersted in was Aretha Franklin (Respect) not because Ive heard it before but this time it really stuck out to me. It seemed like every time I had heard it it was just a song but it actually had a meaning. About what people had gone through and all they wanted was RESPECT. I thought to my self who could sing it better.

Another one that sruck me was Bill Haley & His Comets,"Rock Around the Clock" (1954) I have never heard this song and as i was listening i thought to myself this is going to be the weirdest song but as i was listening it just kept making want to stand up on my feet and just have fun. This was a song that i wouldnt listen to but now i know it doesnt hurt to listen to something new.

The last on is The Alman Brothers Band, Whipping Post. It stood out to me because in the beginng it had a bit of soul and blues and i like a little rythm and thats how i like my music. This is a kind of song that brings me to the olden days where you listen when when playing cards in your backyard or with friends.

I really liked this assignment i got to listen to songs i thought i would nrver listen to. But i think that this was a good idea to show other people theres other things to listen to than regular music.
